The Foolish Prince Is Actually Plotting Something?!

As a young general, Shi Fangyun began learning martial arts at three, had mastered military strategy by five, and was stationed at the northern frontier from the age of twelve.

Decisive and ruthless, he was undefeated in battle.

Everyone knew him as the greatest man in Dayan.

But holding military power inevitably made others wary of him.

A conspiracy nearly cost him his life, leaving him with a heart ailment that required constant medicine. It seemed he had also forgotten someone unimportant.

On the day he returned to the capital victorious,

a marriage decree arrived along with his reward: he was to marry the famously foolish prince, Wei Buyu!

A general taking off his armor to become a husband was already the laughingstock of the world. Marrying a fool was an even greater humiliation. How could anyone bear it?

But for the sake of the General's Residence, he had to.

From then on, he had an enormous, clingy shadow that he couldn't shake.

Lately, though, strange things had been happening. His personal ornaments kept going missing, and he was inexplicably suffering from sleep paralysis. All signs pointed to one thing:

Something was not right.

So when enemy spies made a vicious attempt on his life, Shi Fangyun played along with their scheme.

Just as he was about to be hit, Wei Buyu's eyes blazed with fury. With one move, he sent the enemy's top fighter crashing to the ground, blood spraying five paces.

Shi Fangyun sneered and pressed the blade hidden in his sleeve to Wei Buyu's neck. "Your Highness, you've been acting for so long. You must be tired."

The Fifth Prince, Wei Buyu, was born precocious and was the only legitimate son.

But in a single night, his mother's family was wiped out, and no one was left to protect him.

Still a child, he could only pretend to be a fool after falling into the water, just to stay alive.

There was only one person he could never stop thinking about.

So he lay low and plotted for years, all so he could give that person a peaceful life from the heights of power.

But when he happily obtained a marriage decree, he discovered that his A Yun had forgotten him completely...

As for the day after his secret was exposed,

the Fifth Prince had spent the entire night making do in the corridor. Now he knelt with a thud outside the carved sleeping quarters, letting the morning dew stain his fine purple robes.

Peering eagerly through the crack in the door at the cold, upright figure behind the screen, he rubbed his nose and knocked meekly.

"A Yun... General, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me..."

The next moment, a flash of cold light swept past. Wei Buyu dodged on reflex.

A kitchen knife had buried itself in the pillar behind him.

A gentle, jade-like, sickly beauty of a general on the receiving end x a ruthless, double-standard, hopelessly lovestruck aggressor

# You don't know what a top-tier lovestruck idiot is

# A joke: a peerless expert can't open a door that isn't even shut properly.

# As they say, no matter how good your kung fu is, you still fear a kitchen knife.
