The cheerful, open-hearted young general x the reserved, traditional left chancellor
A romance that only seems mutual
When he was young, General Lin suddenly realized he had fallen for Fu Yan, the very man he had always been at odds with. He poured all his fantasies into Fu Yan, but Fu Yan had been stiff and wooden from childhood. By the time General Lin was exiled to Lingnan, their love had already grown stale without ever having begun. Six years later, he returned to find that the once proper young man had become the all-powerful left chancellor, still as reserved as ever. But somehow, he had suddenly come around. General Lin was startled to discover that, at the very age when he should have kept his distance, the chancellor had chosen to become entangled with him.
