When they first met, she was a petty thief who nearly ruined his plans and kicked him as soon as they crossed paths. He was the aloof, proud, high-ranking official of the Dali Temple. They got off on the wrong foot, immediately trading blows in a tense first encounter. She lost to him because her inner power was insufficient. He loosened her hair and, frowning slightly, remarked, “How are you a woman?”
The next time they met, she stowed away on his boat to get a free ride to Hangzhou. When he caught her, she didn't even bat an eye, smiling as she proposed a deal. A petty thief who barged into his life out of nowhere, a shameless fake man who freeloaded off him for food, drink, and fun: before meeting her, Ji Nan Heng had never imagined he would fall for her. He once told her, “I will hold your hand and grow old with you.” But their shared past and the duties they carried made it so difficult for them to live together in harmony and remain together until old age.
