"Miss, Miss, please get up! I heard that the young general has returned to the capital in triumph, and many people are at the city gate to welcome him. Please get up!"

Wan Ge opened her eyes and looked at the little maid in front of her. Memories of the original owner and the plot also appeared in her mind.

The original owner was the daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty and Valor, but unfortunately her father died on the battlefield and her mother passed away early.

Her uncle is currently in charge of the Marquis's household. She is the only legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty and Courage. After the Marquis of Loyalty and Courage died in battle, the original owner of the body was also granted the title of Princess. Her uncle is the kind of person who would not dare to mistreat her.

However, with both parents deceased and no younger or older brother to rely on, she had little real power despite being called a princess.

However, living a life free from worries about food and clothing is still pretty good, it's just that there's never a sense of family.

Therefore, the original owner placed high hopes on her childhood sweetheart fiancé and always hoped to marry him and have her own family and children.

The original owner never expected that the marriage they had agreed to do after he returned from junior high school would turn out to be with a woman. Their childhood friendship had turned into the affection he felt for his younger sister.

I also hope she can understand that the two families can cancel the engagement gracefully.

It was a huge blow to the original owner at the time, shattering the dream that had always sustained her.

Perhaps it was too much of a blow, or perhaps it was her fate as a supporting female character, that made him unwilling to annul the engagement, and the whole thing became quite ugly.

The original owner had no idea that the seemingly delicate and innocent female lead brought back by the male lead was actually a spy from an enemy country. The so-called life-saving grace and chance encounter in another country were all just a scheme.

However, during their time together, the female lead fell in love with the male lead, and later the male lead discovered that the female lead was actually a spy.

In this situation, the male protagonist's choice was to question the other person about whether they liked him or not.

He wanted to know if the other person truly loved him, or if she was just using him all along.

When the female lead tearfully expresses her love, the male lead chooses to help her.

In the end, the protagonist allied with the enemy country and destroyed their kingdom.

…

Knowing the whole plot, Wan Ge really wanted to curse, "What an idiot! What a ridiculous, melodramatic story! Does someone like this even deserve to be the male lead?"

Of course, Wan Ge still wanted to meet this male lead, so she got up and dressed up. Looking at herself in the mirror, she made sure to look especially beautiful.

The maid was also very happy to see her mistress looking so beautiful.

Their young lady was already very beautiful, and this is just showcasing her beauty. It really is because the young general has returned.

"Miss, you are so beautiful." Who wouldn't like a lady who looks like that?

Wan Ge smiled, then put on her bamboo hat and went out with her maid.

…

As expected, a large crowd of people gathered near the city gate, having heard that the emperor was personally welcoming them. After all, this was a great victory, and the emperor was extremely pleased.

Led by her maid, Wan Ge quickly squeezed to the front. Just then, the city gates opened wide, and the young general, riding on horseback, appeared before the crowd.

Everyone else was very excited when they saw him, but Wan Ge just glanced at him indifferently.

The young general sitting on horseback seemed unconcerned about what others thought. He looked back with a somewhat worried expression, and behind him was a carriage, with people seemingly inside.

Many people began to wonder who was in the carriage behind them? Why was they returning in a carriage? And it seemed the young general cared about them quite a bit.

However, the other party was sitting in a carriage at that moment, so no one else could see them and could only be curious.

Just then, the person sitting in the sedan chair lifted the carriage door, revealing a face as pure and beautiful as a lotus flower.

The person in front seemed to have heard the commotion, so he immediately turned around to look at the carriage. Just as he was about to pull the reins and turn back, the wind suddenly blew up the hat of the person standing not far away, revealing an extremely beautiful face.

Hua Xun knew that his childhood sweetheart had always been very beautiful, a beauty that could topple kingdoms, but this was the first time he had seen her dressed like this.

If Yanxiao is a resilient and pure little flower in the borderlands, then Wange is a pampered and wealthy flower carefully nurtured in the capital. Although Yanxiao and Wange grew up together as childhood sweethearts, they were still young at the time, and she was dressed as a young girl.

Now that she's grown up, this is the first time I've seen her dressed so glamorously, and I was momentarily stunned.

However, he quickly came to his senses and looked back at the people in the carriage.

Yan Xiao seemed incredibly curious about everything in the capital, her eyes brimming with excitement. Seeing this, Hua Xun's gaze softened even more.

But when she looked to the side, the stunningly beautiful woman seemed somewhat disappointed, perhaps because she hadn't received a response.

Even though there was a bamboo hat between them, Hua Xun felt that he must be very disappointed, but... he could only apologize to her.

…

Inside the main hall, the emperor, seated on the dragon throne, spoke slowly in a deep voice: "My dear minister, you have rendered great service this time. Is there anything you desire?"

At this moment, Hua Xun knelt down and looked at the emperor on the dragon throne, saying, "This humble general has nothing to ask for, but there is one thing I hope Your Majesty will grant."

"Please speak, my dear minister."

Hua Xun then continued, "During this great battle, I was seriously injured, but fortunately, I was treated by Xiaoxiao and was saved. Therefore, I humbly request Your Majesty to grant me this marriage."

"It's just a matter of elevating her to the rank of concubine. General Hua can decide this himself. There's no need to ask for permission."

"No, Your Majesty, I promised Xiaoxiao I would give her the position of principal wife, so..."
