Chapter 001: Like Ice, It Hurts So Much

The former Shen Xian was a fool

But that's just how stupid she was, snatching away the dreams of countless daughters of Chu - marrying the number one general of Chu, Qin Ru Liang.

。I heard that this marriage was obtained through being foolish and acting foolish. 。That General Qin Ruliang originally had his own sweetheart. 。That day, it snowed in the capital city, dampening the festive atmosphere at home. 。Qin Ru Liang stood in the wind and snow, wearing a festive robe. His broad shoulders and narrow waist were accentuated by the bright red colors, making him appear tall, handsome, and dignified. 。But when he looked at Shen Xian's eyes, there was a chilling disgust in them. He said, "I will never like an idiot for the rest of my life." 。Since you are now married, if you want to continue living comfortably, just be obedient. 。He couldn't even bear to look at her any longer. After saying that, he swept his sleeves and left. 。On their wedding night, the candles in the bridal chamber burned out, leaving the room plunged into darkness. 。Everyone assumed that the new military general's wife was destined to a life of solitude, and thus they were too lazy to wait on this unfavored lady. 。The empty corridor was deserted and bleak, with only a few lanterns about to be extinguished casting eerie shadows in the cold night. 。A tall figure strode majestically into the new house. 。He held Shen Xian tightly, and in the midst of tossing and turning, he fell onto the embroidered bed, tearing at her clothes. 。

Shen Xian couldn't see his face, she was very obedient and compliant.

。Even a fool knows they like Qin Ruliang. 。

The man's low groan of effort echoed, he shoved in roughly without restraint. Shen Xian cried out in pain, her body arching involuntarily, tears welling up at the corners of her eyes as she gritted her teeth and whispered, "Ru Liang, it hurts..."

The man paused for a moment, then seemed to disregard all pain, his hands gripping lightly around her palms, holding them above her head. His movements were rough and forceful...

。Upon waking in the morning, her bed was rumpled and messy, leaving only the dilapidated Shen Xian alone. 。

After that, I never saw Qin Ruliang again.

。Qin Ru Liang should treat it as something worthless and discarded, turning his head immediately and forgetting about it. 。

This general's wife was not worthy of her title, and Qin Ru Liang gradually entrusted all the affairs of the mansion to Liu Mei Wu.

。Behind closed doors, the servants of the General’s Manor would also address Liu Mei as Madam when they saw her. 。

Liu Mei Wu, is the beloved of Qin Ru Liang.

。That day, Shen Xian went to Qin Ru Liang's courtyard. 。Without an umbrella, the fine snowflakes fell onto her hair and between her eyebrows, also extraordinarily beautiful. 。

A charming male voice came through the transmission.

。It was Qin Ruyang who was having a good time with Liu Meiwu. 。The snow was falling harder now. When Qin Ruliang opened the door after finishing his work, he thought a snowman had been built outside. 。He was somewhat lazy, but even in his description one couldn't hide that air of arrogance. He immediately recognized Shen Xian and his warm eyes instantly turned as cold as snow: "What are you doing here? Who let you in?"Just then, a voice as captivating and alluring as willow eyebrows echoed from inside the room, "General, who is outside?"Qin Ru Liang didn't even bother to look at Shen Xian, saying dismissively, "An irrelevant person" 。Qin Ruliang was about to enter the room, when Shen Xian suddenly spoke: "Ru Liang, wear..." 。"He reached out and offered the neatly stacked garments. " 。

Since he knew it was cold, and worried Qin Ru might get chilled, he learned to sew a coat for her.

Today was my first time stepping into the main courtyard. I came to deliver his clothes.

。At the right moment, Liu Mei walked out with a graceful and gentle demeanor. Qin Ruliang immediately reached out to clasp her waist, pulling the beauty into his embrace. 。

Qin Ru Liang looked at Shen Xian's handiwork with disgust, as well as the hands that were red and swollen from needle pricks. She said coldly, "The General's Mansion hasn't fallen into such poverty that it requires a princess to sew! Instead of doing these useless things, you should learn how to be smart."

。"Liu Meiwu gently soothed Qin Ruliang, saying, “General, don’t be angry. The princess meant well. It's truly rare for her to personally make clothes for you.” 。I'll just take it then. 。"As she spoke, Liu Mei strolled gracefully down the steps of the porch and came before Shen Xian. She still carried the air of a recent victory, as if provoking her, she smiled at Shen Xian and extended her hand, saying: "Princess, you are indeed thoughtful." 。In her subconscious, Shen Xian didn't want to give the clothes to this person. She didn't want his smell to taint the clothes she had made, so she didn't let go. 。

But for some reason, Shen Xian didn't use much force. Perhaps it was because the snow day was too cold. Following a surprised cry from Liu Mei, she fell backward.

。From Qin Ruliang's point of view, he thought it was Shen Xian who pushed Liu Mei Wu. 。Shen Xian saw Liu Mei's alluring eyebrows lying on the ground, unable to even crawl up. She was a little frightened. 。In the blink of an eye, a shadow enveloped my head, colder than this snowy day. 。

As soon as I looked up, I saw Qin Ru Liang's eyes that were about to eat me alive. I took a step back.

。Qin Ru's cold air was extreme, with a wave of his hand, he brushed it away. He didn't pay attention at all. Shen Xian felt a dull pain where he had been hit and stumbled, landing a solid somersault. 。The pain was so intense that I couldn't even get up, my whole body felt like it was pierced by ice. 。Shen Xian let out a frustrated sigh, she didn't even bother picking up the new garment that had fallen from her hands and lay scattered on the ground. 。

As he crawled forward to pick it up, just as his finger reached the edge, a pair of black boots came down and crushed it without hesitation.

。The black boots were unwilling to simply tread on the new garment. With a gentle lift, they landed upon the pale, slender hand. 。The soles of her feet ached with the unmistakable pressure of bones, causing Shen Xian to curl up in pain and let out a soft groan. 。

Qin Ru Liang held Liu Mei Wu, looking down at her from above like she was an ant. She said, "If there's another time, don't blame me for crippling your hands."

。As he spoke, he turned and walked into the house, his back resolute. A willow-leaf eyebrow, as if light as a feather, fluttered from his waist, adding a touch of elegance to his departing figure. However, his words were like knives, cutting deep. 。"Get out, and from now on, you are not allowed to step foot here without my permission." 。"General, please don't be angry. It was Mei Wu who was careless, it wasn't the princess' fault..." Shen Xian slowly got up and still carefully picked up the snow-wet clothes and folded them neatly. She placed them at the door of Qin Ru Liang's room before turning away. 。

Unexpectedly, the next day, the clothes were sent back, personally delivered by Liu Mei Wu.

。Shen Xian took one look and saw that the garment had been cut into pieces. 。Liu Mei smiled and said, "General, you hold a distinguished position. Your household must have fine garments tailored just for you. How could you possibly wear such shabby clothing?" 。I advise you, from now on, to never do anything for the general. Yesterday was just a slight warning to you. 。"Her eyes rolled, and she looked down at Shen Xian with disdain. "Do you think that just because you've entered this General's Mansion, you're still a high-and-mighty princess?"
