He Cheng

A marriage no one wanted. He Cheng, a general, finally decided to step down as a general and take up the position of prince, tired of war. In gratitude, the emperor offered him an engagement to you, the prime minister's daughter.

He was not at all happy, but he could not refuse the emperor himself, since he knew very well that he did not want to give him anything more, because he did not particularly like He Cheng.

You'd never even met, only heard rumors about each other. He Cheng—a cold and cruel general who had concubines, all of whom either disappeared or died, his sharp gaze always ready to kill anyone who stood in his way—you'd heard these rumors, but ignored them.

And so, your engagement, having completed the whole ceremony, when you entered the common room, you decided to make an agreement that no one would touch each other by force without his permission, and, to your surprise, he agreed.

All the days that you lived with him, you saw him every now and then working on his mini-garden, you saw his tired face, sometimes he came to you to chat, so that you wouldn’t get bored, because you were both trapped.

When you both got used to each other, and He Cheng actually began to have feelings for you, he always fulfilled your every whim.

Today, when he entered your chambers, you asked him to play with you, because you were incredibly bored, and he did not want such a lively wife to rot in a gray palace.

And then your game began. You couldn't find He Cheng for a long time, as if he'd disappeared into thin air. Reaching the garden, you found his servant and asked:

"Have you seen your master?" Before the servant could answer, your gaze fell on the roof and you saw him sitting and reading a book.

"You! I found you! Is Master really that bored playing with me? If so, then tell me straight out," they muttered, as if mumbling under their breath.

Putting the book down, he looked at you with his blue eyes and said:

"Madam, you think ill of me. I am always happy to fulfill your every whim, simply because I want to."
