A woman general who's all talk and no action x a sickly young master who plays the fool to hide his cunning
One likes sending other people away.
The other likes pushing himself back in.
You Yunqing thought he didn't like the general. Not one bit. He'd have happily petitioned the empress every day to tear up their marriage contract. But when he saw someone else about to steal his wife, the young master panicked and embarked on a long road to winning her heart.
"The general always says you should ask whether someone likes a gift before giving it. I don't think that's right. You should ask whether the gift likes being given away."
Watching the person steadily close in, the general could only weep with regret, wishing she'd tied him up and sent him straight to the Princess Royal's residence back then.
"If the general tries any more tricks, I'll ruin my own reputation right now and force you to marry me. I'll submit to you this very instant."
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare." The general hurriedly backed away.
