The Merchant’s Daughter and the Great General

Synopsis: After her family falls on hard times, Su Nuanru returns to the village with her parents. Blessed with beauty but unable to lift a basket or shoulder a load, she is the famous delicate flower of all the surrounding villages. When a refined, handsome scholar and a tall, brawny farmer whose burning gaze makes it seem as though he could devour her both ask for her hand, she chooses the former. Later, the scholar passes the imperial examinations. Upon discovering that he is the legitimate son of a marquis’s household, he abandons her. The farmer heads to the frontier, fighting bloody battles until he rises to become a general. Then, in one turn of fate, Su Nuanru is reborn on the night of her wedding. As she looks at the red candles and the familiar brocade quilt, she weeps until she can barely breathe. Why has Heaven brought her back, yet not a single day sooner? She has still married that beast in human clothing! Just then, the door creaks open, and a man dressed in brilliant red wedding robes walks inside. Through her tear-filled eyes, Su Nuanru sees his face clearly—and freezes. Why, in this life, has she married the farmer? After their marriage, however, the farmer who looks fierce enough to frighten anyone turns out to dote on her as though she were the most precious person in the world. But Su Nuanru refuses to spend this life confined to the inner chambers, only to be cast aside again as she was in her previous life. She starts selling food and opens her own shop, building a thriving business and bringing prosperity to the entire village of Qingshan. Later, when she sees the familiar jade pendant used to identify one’s true parentage in Huo Hanye’s possession, she is even more astonished. Isn’t this the jade pendant that belonged to Scholar Qian? How could it have ended up with him in this life? — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Merchant’s Daughter and the Great General — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
