Deceiving the Emperor GB

It was said that Zhao Linge, the ruthless, bloodthirsty founding general, had yet to marry at the age of twenty-three.

There were concubines and beauties everywhere. Powerful factions bent over backward, eagerly waiting to send him beauties and treasures to curry favor.

Yet he had not taken a single one of them.

People thought that a general in the prime of his life who still refused to marry must be... impotent.

Even his older brother was anxious. "Man or woman, young or old, just bring someone home. You can make them your principal wife..."

So, after returning from the autumn hunt, the general brought home a canary.

They said this person was tender-hearted and delicate, and that the general kept him in a golden cage, pampering him and looking after him personally. No one else was allowed to touch him. The general doted on him and treated him like a treasure.

Everyone wanted to see what sort of young woman had tamed the fearsome general.

On the wedding day, ten miles of red bridal finery stretched before them. With phoenix crown and embroidered robes, they welcomed the general's wife into the household as all under heaven celebrated.

Princes, lords, and generals all came to offer congratulations. Only the general's older brother looked... a little unhappy.

No one had expected that the dashing general, with sharp eyes and handsome features, was a woman.

And the general's wife, who had been imprisoned behind high walls and seemed so delicate and pitiful, was not only a man. He was also the ruler of a fallen kingdom, destroyed before he could even ascend the throne: Li Ci.

The world was stunned. A dignified ruler, reduced to a woman's plaything and a prisoner. He would have been better off bashing his head against a wall and dying.

On their wedding night, Zhao Linge got thoroughly drunk. He lifted the handsome groom's veil with a jade scepter, leaned over him, and asked, "My dear, now that you're my wife, do you still want to bash your head in and die?"

Li Ci heard him and replied tearfully, with a plaintive look, "I hope, my lady, that you'll be gentle with me."
