Plucking Beauty

[Doting Princess vs. Young General]

Princess Jiacheng, once the emperor's most beloved daughter, lost his favor when her own brother rebelled. The emperor hastily arranged a marriage for her and banished her from the palace.

On her wedding day, her bridal sedan collided with a young general returning victorious to the capital. The general cut down her husband-to-be right there in the street, splashing blood three feet high.

As she fled in panic, she accidentally hit her head. After he took her back to his residence, she woke with a gap in her memory and mistook the young general, a man who killed without batting an eye, for her newlywed husband.

Xiao Jinghuai had once been the emperor's choice for Princess Jiacheng's husband. But the princess had been arrogant and cold toward him, and when they were young, one remark from her, "The third son of the Xiao family is mediocre at literature, with nothing but a handsome face," had ruined his prospects for an official career.

The princess, once as cool and aloof as jade, now spent her days following Xiao Jinghuai around with a smile, speaking softly and sweetly.

"Will you come home early today, husband? Jiacheng is frightened when you're not by my side..."

"When will you consummate our marriage, husband?"

"Jiacheng loves you, husband. You mustn't let me down."

With no one else to rely on, Jiacheng could only depend on her husband for the rest of her life.

Her husband was utterly cold toward her, so she put aside her pride and spent her days acting sweet and obedient. At last, she managed to warm his heart a little. Just as she thought they were about to become a blissfully happy couple, her memories suddenly returned.

Now that she looked at the man before her, how could he be her husband? He was none other than her sworn enemy, Xiao Jinghuai, who wanted nothing more than to tear her limb from limb!

Living by Xiao Jinghuai's side kept Jiacheng terrified day and night. Finally, one day, she secretly ran away, only to be caught by him.

The rain poured down as Xiao Jinghuai cornered Jiacheng. She was drenched from head to toe.

She trembled under his icy gaze. "You're not my husband..."

Xiao Jinghuai smiled as he stroked her cheek, madness flooding his eyes. "Your husband died by my hand. Now I'm your husband. Princess, wife, don't even think about escaping me..."
