Entangled With The General

Prologue

21st century

Heading to the hospital for her internship, Li Wei Wei wears a black and white floral dress that matches her flat shoes.

She was a fresh beauty, with large eyes and lips which always carried a smile. While walking with her best friend Song Jia Yi, she suddenly suggests,

"The weather seems very nice. Maybe we should grab some iced chocolate at the cafe later."

Song Jia Yi only nodded looking at her best friend who was staring at the sky while smiling so brightly. So silly, she thought.

"Morning Doctor Lee! Morning Nurse Mo!" They greeted their seniors on their way to their respective rooms.

On a sunny day, reading a novel during her break time was her best option to escape boredom.

Li Wei Wei is currently reading a novel titled "The General". She borrowed it from the library located opposite the hospital yesterday.

While exploring some books for her medical assignment, she coincidentally discovered a book at the end of the bookshelves.

'Seems like an old book.'

She stared a bit longer at the book while thinking whether she wanted to read it or not.

The front cover of the book captivated her. It was a picture of a man holding a magnificent sword with his back facing the reader.

Li Wei Wei is a big fan of romantic and horror novels but she doesn't know why this novel attracts her like a magnet.

The novel is basically about the general's life and death. She learns that he has a cold and ruthless personality.

"If someone like him existed, our world would be in peace right?" Li Wei Wei stared at the novel. Currently, in her first chapter.

"Maybe." Song Jia Yi said while frowning because of the brightness of the sun.

"He seems like a great man and I wonder what would he look like..."

Before Li Wei Wei could finish talking, she was interrupted by the sound of her alarm. Indicated that their recess time is over.

Continued doing her particular work, which was filled with helping patients and learning further about medical assistance.

On their way back, they went to the cafe to grab some drinks just like they planned earlier. Then both of them go back to their room which is at the girl's dorm.

"See you tomorrow and have a good night!"

Li Wei Wei waved at her best friend who was currently heading to her room. Song Jia Yi just waved lazily as she felt so tired.

Went inside her room, and she felt blissful looking at her bed. She quickly took a shower, wearing her polka dot pajamas, and directly lay down on her favorite bed.

'Maybe I should sleep early today'

Her mind wandered with her eyes closed trying to sleep. All of a sudden, the image of the man or the general's back popped up in her mind.

Her eyes went wide and she sprung out of her bed searching for the book in her bag.

Searching for it hastily, she finally found it. She then swiftly turned it to the fourth page where she stopped at.

"Let's skip to the climax since I have a very tight schedule for tomorrow." She talked to herself.

Realizing it was impossible to finish it right away, she skipped a lot of chapters. She caught a glimpse of the emperor choosing a wife for the general.

Li Wei Wei also read a very brief chapter where the general was killed by his enemy.

In that chapter, the death of the general is caused by his enemy and one of his mates who betrayed him using a cunning act and cruel scheme.

During this chapter, Li Wei Wei is unknowingly attacked by a wave of sadness emotion.

She didn't know why but her eyes felt burning. Then her tears fell like a river.

'Why am I feeling this way? Why do I feel so heartbroken for him?' She thought about it while sobbing.

Grabbing a pile of tissues to wipe her tears it seemed like it didn't want to stop. She felt so sorrowful.

Only a few pages left, she still hasn't read about the mastermind behind the general death. Li Wei Wei then put the book and went to sleep.

Laying down while staring at her ceiling, she keeps on recalling the death of the general. At last, she cries herself to sleep.

'Gonna continue reading it tomorrow night.'
