New Release: Falling into the Dust, I Became His Lover. In the midst of a stormy love triangle, I was pushed into the middle of the road by my best friend who not only stole my boyfriend but also caused me to be hit by a car. Oh well, I crossed over and became a young lady in a mansion during the Republic era. Becoming a young lady was great, but I was forced to marry into the general's house and became the envied General's Lady. On our wedding night, Jiang Biwei held a knife and threatened the man undressing in front of her, 'Believe it or not, I will kill you with one slash!' Shen Yijun raised an eyebrow and teasingly said as he pinned her against the wall, 'Go ahead, give it a try.' When her true love showed up, Jiang Biwei packed her belongings and attempted to elope. Shen Yijun, sitting in the living room, casually warned, 'If you dare run away with this wild man, I will chop up your whole family and feed them to the dogs!' So, should Jiang Biwei leave or not? Amidst assassination attempts, she risked her life to shield him; in the midst of a war, she braved mountains and rivers to deliver Western medicine; he broke into the stronghold of the mafia for her, setting fire to a Japanese warehouse. Jiang Biwei never imagined that she would fall in love with this man, who was sinister, mysterious, and loved to show off his strength. Shen Yijun was also amazed at himself for falling in love with a woman who was fierce, clever, and always causing trouble. When the moon was dark and the wind was high, 'Uncle Shen, you are robbing the cradle and taking advantage of me!' General Shen chuckled, 'Mischievous girl, they say age is just a number, you'll understand soon.' The female lead is not naive and sweet, but rather sweetly and tenderly teasing, funny and silly, and has a happy ending.
