(Gu Chao Ci, a blessed, sweet young wife who seems quiet and gentle on the outside but is a little absent-minded within * Mu Jiang Ling, a solitary, ill-fated general who looks cold and forbidding but is secretly a clingy sweetheart)
Three coincidences made Mu Jiang Ling seem like a walking calamity.
The first time, he returned to the capital after winning a battle. A young woman suffered a sudden attack and happened to collapse within ten paces of him. She could not be saved.
The second time, he was on his way to meet a friend when he came across a young woman jumping into a river. She was rescued, but was left frail and sickly, unable to walk properly. When she jumped, she had been exactly ten paces from him.
The third time, he attended a banquet at the palace. The prime minister's concubine-born daughter tried to kill her legitimate elder sister, only to perish alongside her in the lotus pond. At the time, he was in the pond with the Third Prince, picking lotus seeds to eat, exactly ten paces away.
After that, a rumor spread that any woman who came within ten paces of him would either die or be injured.
Three coincidences also earned Gu Chao Ci a reputation as a bringer of good fortune.
The first time, she accompanied her mother to the birthday banquet of the Old Madam of the Marquis of Dingyuan's household. The old madam's beloved young grandson climbed onto a rockery to play, then lost his footing and fell. In full view of everyone, he landed in the arms of Gu Chao Ci, who was passing below, completely unaware.
The second time, the young daughter of Physician Zhang fell gravely ill. Her elder sister, a friend of Gu Chao Ci's, was beside herself and invited her over for company. But the moment Gu Chao Ci stepped through the Zhang family gates, the little girl took a turn for the better.
The third time, her younger brother fell from his horse during a race. His leg was all but lost, but when she arrived, things took a turn.
What will life be like when the ill-fated general asks to marry the little bringer of good fortune?
It looks pretty good, not bad at all.
It's nice to watch, but maybe it's because I'm used to third-person perspectives, so the first-person perspective feels a bit strange.
First-person perspective, quite heartwarming.
Not bad, it's kind of like a personal narrative.
It's not angsty and the female lead is the most favored.
I'm really not very good at word association, so you'll have to see for yourselves whether you like it or not, but it's my type.
It's a great show, and the ending is very happy!
It's a great short story, yet there are so few comments. Neither the male nor female lead is promiscuous; they're saints.
It's pretty good, worth watching!
