The second daughter of Grand Academician Shu was once a clever, cheerful little girl. She grew up by her grandmother's side until she came of age, never knowing a moment of sorrow.
But lately, she'd begun to worry.
First, her family thought she was fat and stopped giving her food. Her waist was now so thin there was hardly anything left of it.
Second, her mother was more relentless than ever about marrying her off, trying to match her with anyone of high status, regardless of whether they were tall, short, fat, or thin.
Third, she worried about her childhood sweetheart. He'd been bullied as a boy, joined the army as a young man, and returned as a great general, only to be struck by a deadly poison and given little time to live.
After worrying about it all, an outlandish idea popped into her head: why not marry her childhood sweetheart?
Then she could move into his brand-new general's residence, eat whatever she liked, and make sure he took his medicine and got acupuncture to treat the poison. Every extra year he lived would be a year gained.
So how could she make this happen?
Shu Lanting drew on the wisdom of romance stories, put her mind to work, and settled on three rules:
Act as if she has fallen deeply in love with him, make him fall deeply in love with her, and don't let him know that she knows.
Yes, that was the plan!
-
The palace suddenly arranged a marriage, naming the second daughter of the Shu family as the Third Prince's consort, with the wedding to be held soon.
Before "soon" could arrive, a maid flung open the door to Shu Lanting's bedroom and cried that something terrible had happened: the Third Prince had been brutally attacked by bandits on the outskirts of the capital and was no longer able to perform as a man!
The prospective Third Prince's consort, Shu Lanting, was calm as a dead pig that feared no boiling water. She told the maid to lower her voice and said she already knew.
The bandit still had a patch of blood on his sleeve that he hadn't managed to clean off. Now he was lazily wrapping an arm around Shu Lanting's waist, smiling smugly, his eyes bright.
The maid froze and stammered, "G-General Xiao!"
General Xiao clicked his tongue and tossed her a reward. "Go on, speak louder. Make sure the whole capital hears."
Shu Lanting thought, this man is so fickle... Didn't he say he wouldn't get involved with her?

Author: I really want to ball with you, more updates
Tingting is about to face the storm with Ashuo (although Governor Xiao will most likely protect Tingting closely)
You are still cooking for us when you are on a business trip. Madam, you are my god [please]
Although I don't understand why, Xiao Shuo probably hasn't thought about getting a wife so far. The relationship between the two is actually that of a young couple, but they both seem to be confused and unaware. Tingting's sudden desire to get married was not because she found out that she liked Xiao Shuo, but because she was stimulated by Li Yi and felt that getting married would be a good idea and that they could always be together and take care of each other. Could it be that their thoughts on getting along with each other still stay in Qingzhi Mountain? They were almost the only people of the same age on the mountain. After their reunion, no one interfered with them except for Li Yi. Therefore, although the two of them believed that they would always be the best in the world, they never thought about the rest of their lives. If the other party got married to someone else, if they had a relationship with someone else, would they really be the best in the world? Is there any difference between "the best in the world" and "like" or even "love"?
