In his previous life, Ye Huaiyun hadn't had a chance to confess his feelings before the person he loved was killed by treacherous officials.
Reborn, he now stands at the pinnacle of power as Crown Prince, and he is determined to protect Chu Tingyun at all costs.
But when he sees his old friend again... how did the gentle scholar who was once his cherished first love become a brash, arrogant general?

With disaster looming, Chu Tingyun says they can deal with it after he has a candied hawthorn skewer.
Thrown into prison, Chu Tingyun says they'll talk after a drink.
When Ye Huaiyun is framed, Chu Tingyun immediately draws his sword. “Who dares?!”
Later, Chu Tingyun helps him pacify the realm.
Ye Huaiyun takes his hand. “I told you long ago that a man of your ability could serve as Grand Commandant.”
“If you don't want that, you could be Empress instead.”

It's surprising how few reviews there are for this book, but this is also my first time writing a review and rating it ╭☞( ￣ ▽￣)╭☞ Overall, the book isn't very long, but the love story between the emperor and the general always grabs my attention. Moreover, from the synopsis to every chapter, the author has put a lot of effort into writing.
Your face enters my heart, and my heart is pleased with you; only you can understand my longing, and only you can soothe my romantic feelings; with tender feelings and deep thoughts, the gauze curtains slip down, the warm tent exudes fragrance, and in one glance I go from the blue sky to the yellow springs, where the embroidered mandarin duck quilt turns into red waves.

A love that blossoms in mutual devotion, so sweet... But I feel Jiang Linxu shouldn't have a happy ending. Because of his jealousy, countless people died, and he forgave them so easily with just a few words. I think it would be best if he died. 😂
