Rebirth: Find a General as Your Backer

Su Lianxue couldn't help but let out painful sounds of "Ugh... Oh... Uh..." The intense pain throughout her body made her groan softly involuntarily.

Her face was deathly pale, her lips were bloodless, and her long, black hair was slightly disheveled, but this did nothing to conceal her stunning beauty.

She didn't know when it started, but she gradually began to hear footsteps, accompanied by voices!

"This young lady has been unconscious for so long, I wonder when she will wake up?"

Another voice continued, "The military doctor said that this young lady is slowly recovering and should be waking up soon! We must take good care of her and not make any mistakes."

"Yes, this young lady is in much better condition than when the general first brought her back."

"It was terrifying at the time. She had a high fever and was in a coma. She couldn't take any medicine. There was an arrow in her chest, but no one dared to pull it out. Several doctors were helpless until the military doctor arrived and pulled the young lady back from the brink of death."

"That's right, we should take good care of her. This young lady must be someone the general likes."

Otherwise, the general wouldn't usually stay in the mansion for long. Now, however, he visits this young lady every day and rarely goes to the military camp anymore.

"When we couldn't feed him the medicine, the general would personally feed him. Looking at the general, who is such a rough man, we really didn't expect him to take such meticulous care of a patient."

"That's right, it's the first time I've ever seen the general take the initiative to feed the young lady medicine, it really surprised me."

Su Lianxue couldn't open her eyes, but she could still hear these people's words.

She was absolutely certain that she had been reborn, reborn on the journey during the year of the marriage alliance.

This time, she made a solemn vow that she would never stray back onto the wrong path she had once taken, and that she would reclaim everything she had lost, bit by bit.

......

Su Lianxue was originally the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Personnel, and her mother was the only daughter of the richest man in Jiangnan.

Because his mother had been unable to conceive for many years, and in order to continue the family line, his father, under the arrangement of his grandmother, took his grandmother's niece, Li Ruolan, as a concubine.

After giving birth to a son, Li Ruolan was elevated to the status of a secondary wife by her father.

In the following years, unexpectedly, Aunt Li and her mother became pregnant at the same time. Her mother suffered from difficult childbirth and long-term depression, and eventually passed away.

After her mother passed away, Li Yiniang was elevated to the position of legal wife by her grandmother's decision.

Su Lianxue's maternal grandfather originally wanted to bring her to Jiangnan, but her grandmother and father disagreed. So, for her sake, her maternal grandfather stayed in the capital to take care of her at all times.

Because her maternal grandfather was around, she didn't have much affection for her stepmother and stepsister. They were just very friendly on the surface, so Su Lianxue thought they were kind-hearted.

In her past life, she firmly believed that Shangguan Yu truly loved her.

For Shangguan Yu's sake, she boldly stole the exam questions to help him become the third-ranked scholar, helped him meet his father and gain his father's assistance, and with the help of her maternal grandfather's wealth, successfully helped him enter the circle of nobility.

Once, every gentle gesture and every heartfelt vow from Shangguan Yu made Su Lianxue believe without a doubt that it was the love she wanted.

For this love, she disregarded the consequences and bet everything on it.

Just when she was looking forward to a wonderful life, she never expected to be betrayed by her stepmother, stepsister, and Shangguan Yu, and forced to marry into the Canglang Kingdom.

Su Lianxue thought with deep regret and resentment: How could she have been so foolish as to be deceived by their appearance and give her heart to the wrong person?

She has brought this situation upon herself.

Her mother's dowry was swindled away, and her maternal grandfather, despite exhausting his wealth to secure a pardon for her marriage to the Canglang Kingdom, was unable to do so.

Su Lianxue trembled with rage, gritting her teeth: seeing their smug and utterly ugly faces, she wished she could tear them apart. But she was powerless and could only struggle in this agony.

The King of the Blue Wolf was already old and later died of illness.

After the old wolf king died, she was repeatedly bullied by his sons until she died a miserable death. This immense humiliation not only harmed herself but also implicated her maternal grandfather's family.

After her death, her soul drifted in the air, filled with regret and resentment.

She watched helplessly as her body suffered such a terrible fate.

She recalled the warm times she had spent at her maternal grandfather's house, and now, because of her, her grandfather's family had also been implicated, making her heart ache even more.

Probably no one cares whether she, a woman bearing the title of a princess sent for a political marriage, lives or dies.

However, when the legendary iron-blooded general Chu Mohan arrived, he said, "How can you desecrate the princess of my great Chu Kingdom like this? I will take her remains back to my homeland, or my iron cavalry will surely trample your northern desert to pieces."

At that moment, tears welled up in her eyes. She felt warmth. Thank you, General.

......

On a winter afternoon, a fierce wind raged outside, and snowflakes fell like torn cotton wool, drifting endlessly, turning the world into a vast expanse of white.

Inside, a roaring charcoal fire crackled and popped, the leaping flames casting a warm glow over the room.

Beside the carved bed, Xiao Tao, as always, quietly stood guard by Su Lianxue's bedside.

Sometimes she would furrow her brows, as if they were twisted into a pretzel, and sometimes she would sigh softly, her hands constantly twisting the hem of her clothes, as if the hem of her clothes was the embodiment of her endless worries.

Her eyes were fixed on the young lady on the bed, her focused expression as if she were guarding the most precious treasure in the world.

Suddenly, Xiao Tao's eyes lit up, like stars suddenly shining in the dark night.

"Miss is awake! Miss is awake!" Xiao Tao was pleasantly surprised to find that the young lady on the bed was slowly opening her eyes, and her originally furrowed brows were gradually relaxing.

Her hands trembled with excitement, and she hurriedly cried out, "Xiaomei, quickly go and inform the general that the young lady has woken up!"

Su Lianxue was finally able to slowly open her eyes.

Opposite to the view is a sturdy weapons rack, displaying various weapons, each one in excellent condition, as if ready to go to the battlefield at any moment.

A huge military map hangs on the wall, marked with vivid colors the enemy and friendly positions, mountains and terrain, and strategic points.

Beside the map were several paintings depicting intense battle scenes, the clash of swords and the thunder of horses seemingly allowing one to hear the shouts of battle.

A large wooden table was piled high with various battle reports and documents. On one side of the table, a thick stack of books was neatly arranged.

Near the window, there was a small sand table model, which detailed the surrounding terrain and possible combat layout.

Although the bedroom was simple, it revealed the owner's dignity and focus on military affairs.

Could this be...?

All she remembered was that after learning she had been reborn, she used a large sum of money as bait and cleverly persuaded the spy sent by Shangguan Yu to take her place as a princess in a political marriage.

And this allowed her to escape.

On her way to seek refuge with the legendary iron-blooded general, she encountered bandits. Just as she was about to fall after being shot by an arrow, she vaguely saw the general from her previous life saving her.
