- Write a few paragraphs on how you think the story line of General's Lady will develop.

This episode of General's Lady begins with the protagonist Jiner teaching to play with the Chinese abacus. Jiner is a girl with a mustache probably because she wants to look like a man. She is very good at that game and no one is able to beat her, but the last man who plays her succeeds and after her victory he tells her that he wants her to open the family chest for him. After this scene, she Jiner is taken to her father's house where she is made a portrait of her. She jiner probably comes from a wealthy family but she doesn't like her. So the father has to choose the second daughter who will have to marry the Demon General: the daughter will be Jiner. She then she is taken in a carriage by the Demon General, but along the way they face a confrontation with other soldiers. In the last scene of the episode, Jiner accidentally finds himself in the Demon General's house. From this last scene it is clear that the two will eventually fall in love and get married.
