Dustbound Pass

Dusty Pass: The Dusty Pass is hard to cross, but one can cross every pass. The hardest of all is the pass of love, which cannot be crossed...

The iron-hearted, benevolent, celibate general VS the cold, proud eldest princess, a possessive and jealous obsessive

Guan Shu: A female surgeon at a major Grade III Class A hospital, she gave her life to shield the girl she had secretly loved for years from a knife. After dying, she transmigrated and was reborn into a family of military generals.

Her life had already been full of misfortune. She never expected that after transmigrating, things would be even worse. She had become the most miserable person around, though she looked like she had it all on the surface.

A rootless fallen leaf, a soulless shell, someone who would never be loved, a pair of hands stained with blood...

That was how Guan Shu defined herself...

So all she hoped for was to die early and be free of it all.

Or perhaps she could use some accidental death as a cover to escape her current identity and practice medicine, saving lives and helping the suffering.

But things never went as she wished. Whenever she tried to run, she would either be inexplicably caught and dragged back, or bump straight into the First Princess!

“I wonder, General, which young lady are you sneaking off to meet in the middle of the night this time, behind my back?”

Guan Shu was halfway over the wall with her bag, ready to escape, when a chill ran down her spine. In the next instant, she fainted...

When she woke, she found that someone had tied her hands and feet to the bed, spread-eagled in a very indecent pose...

Princess Ye Zhen was leaning over her. Her usual aloof pride had vanished, replaced by a bewitching, alluring air that made one's heart tremble. Her red lips parted softly:

“General Guan, tell me: if you betray me, or try to run away again, what do you think will happen to you?”

Guan Shu: “…”

She had said she would bite her flesh off, one bite at a time!

Guan Shu's throat bobbed with a nervous swallow. “P-Princess, please calm down.”

Ye Zhen slowly raised her charming brows. “Calm down? I am perfectly calm.”

“Besides, I've changed my mind... I've decided to punish you another way.”

Guan Shu wanted to explain herself to Ye Zhen, but the moment she opened her mouth, something unknown was swiftly slipped inside.

Guan Shu stared in alarm as Ye Zhen's long, cascading hair fell like satin when her delicate hand pulled out her hairpin. Her soft gauze nightdress slipped down her graceful figure...

Guan Shu: “…!”

Poverty cannot make one corrupt, power cannot make one yield. Her face flushed red as she squeezed her eyes shut and began reciting a calming mantra of her own invention...

But when a cool jade finger lightly touched her lips, she instantly forgot what came next.

Ye Zhen's beautiful eyes were half-lidded. Her reddened eyes swept inch by inch over Guan Shu's features, a faint shimmer beneath her long lashes:

“I've lowered myself this much. What more do you want from me?”

“If that's the case, then I'm afraid that soon, you'll be the one who needs to calm down.”

“Xingchen... If there is another life, will you marry me?”

“This life is already my next life. I married you once, and I have no regrets.”
