Little General Shen was returning triumphantly from the Northern Desert, parading through the streets on horseback, when she was suddenly stopped by a certain cold beauty.
　　
Shen Zhishu frowned imperceptibly and asked, “What does Your Excellency intend?”

But all she heard was the ragged breathing of the person before her.
　　
Shen Zhishu abruptly lowered her head and saw the woman’s flushed face.

—The beauty had been drugged with an aphrodisiac.
　　
Shen Zhishu sighed. After helping her find relief, she agreed to the woman’s request to take her home.

Beneath the distant stars and moon, through the heavy frost and high winds, Little General Shen rode on, following the path the woman indicated, a hot potato cradled in her arms.
　　
After the time it took for two incense sticks to burn (roughly one hour), the “hot potato” said with dark eyes, “We’re here.” Shen Zhishu looked up in relief and saw the plaque—

Great. The Eldest Princess’s Manor.

The next day, the imperial court held a banquet to reward its meritorious heroes.
　　
At the banquet, the Eldest Princess’s expression was indifferent, as if she had completely forgotten the previous day’s events.
　　
Shen Zhishu also intended to let the matter drop, but she was stopped by the same person again after the banquet.

The Eldest Princess’s expression remained indifferent, but her words were crystal clear: “Can we do that again?”

Shen Zhishu: ?

The Eldest Princess: “It felt good.”

Shen Zhishu: ???

The Eldest Princess’s Manor was selecting a Prince Consort, and suitors came and went in an endless stream.

Shen Zhishu thought to herself that she could die on the battlefield any day and had no intention of joining the fray. That very night, however, someone unceremoniously barged into the General’s Manor.

In the darkness, the Eldest Princess pounced onto the bed and, in a few swift moves, tied herself up.

Her face was expressionless in the pale moonlight as she forced the words from her throat in a low voice:
　　
“Little Lord Shen, you’re late.”　

“If you keep avoiding me, Your Excellency, this Princess will tie you up and drag you to our wedding.”
