[One-on-one, both chaste + love of country and family + scheming young marshal versus fallen heiress with a secret identity + tragic ending]
After her father jumps to his death, Wu Qianqian loses her family overnight. Three years later, she returns home under a secret identity to uncover the truth. Young Marshal Lu falls for her at first sight, but they are forced into a marriage and become a couple in name only.
“Don’t move.”
“Keep moving, and I might make this act real.”
Feeling the heat of the man on top of her, Wu Qianqian leans close and whispers in his ear, her voice alluring beyond words.
“Can you even handle it?”
The man’s eyes turn bloodshot. Their gazes meet, as if a switch has been flipped.
“You asked for it. Don’t beg me to stop when you start crying.”
Warlords clash; families are destroyed.
Lu Yu buries his face against Wu Qianqian’s shoulder, so vulnerable it hurts to see. “Qianqian, I don’t have a home anymore.”
The nation’s enmity and a family’s grief; the night before heading to the battlefield.
“If I don’t come back, live well on your own. If I do, I’ll spend my life making it up to you.”
In this life, Lu Yu let down his soldiers and his family, but most of all, his wife.
Wu Qianqian knows he has little chance of returning from this mission. Yet, in her later years, looking back on the past, she finds that time is merciless, while longing endures.
Sui Sui Yun Mu: Time is merciless, life is short, and the past cannot be reclaimed. Cherish the peace and tranquility of the present.
Qian Ou Si Ying: Though parted by life and death, their love remains. Returning to the place where they once parted in sorrow, Wu Qianqian can no longer hold back her tears.
The title has a profound meaning, and its source can be looked up. Don’t go anywhere: once you start reading, you’ll know you made the right choice.
