The Lady General and Her Lucky Wife

Shen Zhaoxue is the least favored concubine-born daughter of the Shen family, cursed with bad luck since childhood and shunned by everyone. A royal decree forces her into marriage with General Sima, a man she’s never even met before their hurried wedding ceremony. Rumors swirl about General Sima—ferocious, ruthless, monstrously ugly, a merciless killer with a face of nightmares. Yet Shen Zhaoxue, after marriage, is the only one in the world to see her true appearance: not just strikingly handsome with peerless beauty, but also a woman in disguise. From then on, Shen Zhaoxue’s luck defies the heavens. One day, the general, who had never shared a bed with her since their wedding, summons her for a bath. Trembling with fear, Shen Zhaoxue undresses her—only to freeze in shock. Sima Yun raises an eyebrow, pulls her into the bath, tilts her chin, and declares, “So what if this general is a woman? My wife has no chance to regret it.” Then, she seals her lips with a kiss. Sima Yun once vowed: *She is my life. Anyone who dares take her today will have to step over my corpse.* Shen Zhaoxue responds: *Marrying you is something I’ll never regret.* **[Cold-on-the-outside, warm-on-the-inside female general disguised as a man] vs. [Unbelievably lucky little wife]**
