Nach dem ursprünglichen Drehbuch war dieses Landmädchen Qiao Mei eine von ihrem Großvater verwöhnte Fette. Ihre Verwandten waren jedoch allesamt bösartige und grausame Menschen. Ihr Großvater war gesundheitlich angeschlagen, so dass die Verwandten nach seinem Tod sein Vermögen aufteilen und verschlingen würden. Daher war es der größte Wunsch ihres Großvaters, Qiao Mei zu verheiraten. Dafür opferte und verriet er sogar den Enkel seines guten Freundes, Xia Zhe. Großvater machte Xia Zhe betrunken und ließ Qiao Mei den starken und gut aussehenden Xia Zhe mit ihrem mehr als zweihundert Pfund schweren Körper gewaltsam entführen.

In der ursprünglichen Geschichte nahm Qiao Mei auch die geheimnisvolle Jade von Xia Zhe in Besitz.

Und ihr Gesicht war so groß wie eine Pizza, eine verbrannte Pizza! Qiao Mei beschloss, ihr Leben zu ändern! Der erste Schritt: Abnehmen! Der zweite Schritt: ihr Zimmer aufräumen! Früher war sie sehr auf Sauberkeit bedacht, und obwohl ihr jetziges Haus einen riesigen Innenhof hatte, konnte sie es nur als unordentlich bezeichnen! Der dritte Schritt war, die Jade gut festzuhalten, damit ihre gierige Cousine keine Chance hatte! Nur, sollte der große und gut aussehende Xia Zhe sie nicht hassen, wie es in der ursprünglichen Geschichte hieß? Warum war er dann immer netter zu ihr?

Ren Aldric was just an ordinary college student when he was suddenly transported to a fantasy world alongside other summoned heroes. Each hero was granted incredible abilities, but when Ren’s status was revealed, he was deemed the weakest of them all—his stats were abysmal, and his only skill, Weapon Copy, seemed useless at first glance. Laughed at by the kingdom’s nobles and abandoned by the royal court, Ren was cast aside while the stronger heroes were given grand titles and sent off to fight for humanity. Refusing to accept his fate as “the weakest,” Ren set out on his own journey to prove his worth.

From being ridiculed as the weakest, Ren slowly rises to become a warrior feared across nations. Now, with nothing but his skill and determination, he’ll carve his own legend—one weapon at a time.

As I sit down to describe my book, "The General's Promise", a surge of excitement and anticipation has overcome me. This story has been brewing in my mind for quite some time, and I'm eager to share it with readers. Within this historical romance, I introduce the readers to General Xiao Hong, a brilliant and fearless warrior respected and admired by his peers. After one vicious battle, though, Xiao Hong fakes a crippling injury for cover from his enemies and protection of his life. As Xiao Hong navigates through the intricacies of court life, he is summoned by the Emperor to marry Mei Xing, a daughter of a humble duke, sweet and kind as anyone would want in a wife. I have to confess, I have fallen in love with the character of Mei Xing while writing her; for indeed, she stands out to be the true innocent, her heart fully made of love and compassion. The more Xiao Hong is with Mei Xing, the heavier his heart weighs down, being enchanted by her beauty and charm. He must also keep his real identity concealed from those who would destroy him. Will he find a balance for his duty as a warrior with this new love, or will his secrets tear them apart? I hope my readers will accompany me on the journey of learning about the convolutions of honor, loyalty, and love that existed in ancient China. "The General's Promise" is an appealing historical romance that I have shared with great pride to audiences worldwide.

My body stiffened as a palace guard called for me from the other side, but I ignored it. Mei, on the other hand, began pushing me away in a panic. "Cheng, let go," she said, struggling in my arms. "Can't you hear him? What if he comes in and sees us like this?" "I don't care," I replied, my lips brushing her ear. "Tell me you forgive me, that's all I need. I won't let go until you do." I knew I was taking a risk, a huge one, if we were seen like this, there would be consequences. But losing Mei would be the bigger risk, the one I couldn't take. I couldn't let her slip away. "I just need to hear you forgive me, mei. That's all I need right now." The guard knocked again, calling my name, and Mei struggled harder. "Cheng, please," she said, her voice cracking under the strain. But I didn't budge. Finally she muttered, "Fine. I forgive you." "I forgive you, you crazy jerk." "You really mean that?" I asked, my voice barely audible. She nodded, exasperated, and only then did I release her. Just as I did, the door swung open, and I barely had time to step back before the palace guard entered, the guard rushed in, his face pale with worry. It was a close call. too close, but I didn't care. Mei flinched at the intrusion, but quickly composed herself, stepping away from me to a more respectable distance. The guard, wide-eyed and clearly flustered, fell to his knees in a bow. "My deepest apologies, Your Highness. I called for you several times but received no reply. I entered out of concern, fearing the worst." I glanced at Mei, but she wouldn't meet my eyes. She simply gave the guard one last look and walked out, leaving the room without a word. I let out a long, exhausted sigh, running a hand through my hair, still reeling from everything that had just happened. Turning back to the guard, I motioned for him to stand. "Get up" "And next time, don't enter my room without permission." ———— Author’s Note (Rong King) This story is a work of fiction, entirely created from my imagination.

He turned back, his long red hair blowing with the wind, suddenly he laughed out loud but this laugh was not heartily but bone chilling, "I am so happy to see the fear of death in your eyes, SAGE SAETANG!"

The rub resulted in Sage's scalp becoming numb, he furiously nodded, "of course his pathetic twin brother did not fare any better. I did not get the feeling of originality, you know." Aman pouted, showing his dissatisfaction, "wailing and gaping like a fish out of water. He even offered me that he would give all of his properties to me? But what use could I have of that. This look of fear provides me with much satisfaction than any riches in the world." "And now, now the same look is in your eyes. I bet you can see death standing somewhere. But why are you not pleading? At least cry a little," Aman told Sage whose mouth was still sealed. Cold flashes in his eyes and he started tightening the coiling of his tail around Sage's body, "forget it. Do as you please. After all it's your own death. But don't blame me if Mei Wang cries louder and surpasses you when I kill him." He showed a smile that made Sage's stomach flip, "I can't wait anymore to kill-" "AMAN!!"
