The Female General and the Regent

[Ruthless, decisive female general x cold on the outside, warm-hearted and beautiful regent]

Her father had only just died when Shen Ge took command, earning a hundred battle merits through blood and fire. All she wanted was to drive the Xiongnu out for good.

But under the young emperor's decree, she had no choice but to enter an unwilling, arranged marriage with the sickly regent.

At first, she thought this frail prince was nothing but a plucked phoenix, no better than a barnyard fowl.

Who could have guessed that one move of his would stir up a storm across the entire northern frontier? And, to make matters worse, he was a dying man whom she could neither hit nor scold.

In the end, she couldn't resist his good looks. Then, one day, she got drunk...

“Whose handsome husband is this?” Shen Ge only remembered mumbling, “Mine...!” Then she... climbed onto the bed and planted a kiss on the man's soft, inviting lips.

Shen Ge thought she had fallen for Pei Yanzhi at first sight. After all, he had taken root in this general's heart.

In truth, it had all been part of Pei Yanzhi's plans.

In the evening breeze, the dispatches she sent back from the battlefield were a ray of light in his heart.

He thought of himself as a brush dipped in ink. Only by soaking in the ink of schemes and worldly affairs could he write the fate of the realm on the court's silk. But she was a tempered blade, unbending even at the point of breaking, cutting through the brambles in her path without letting a speck of dust dull her edge.

Yet the ink-stained brush in court had come to admire the blade that stood between heaven and earth.

If she didn't want children, then so be it. He could accept being the one to give in.
