Two formidable leads, a battle of wits, agonizing push and pull, and sweetness and heartbreak in equal measure.
When they first meet, Jiang Hexiao looks down at Su Tong, who is clinging desperately to his leg and wailing for mercy. He wants nothing more than to strangle this unbearably noisy, ugly girl.
Su Tong: My lord, I can cure your Gu poison...
My lord, I can draw talismans to summon ghosts and scare you...
My lord, I can set up a ghost wall to trap you...
My lord, my lord, my lord...
Later, Jiang Hexiao drops his cold demeanor and gently draws her into his arms, saying obediently, “Tong’er is so amazing. You remember two lifetimes and have so many talents. Having you is my good fortune...”
Su Tong: “Really?”
Jiang Hexiao: “Absolutely. My heart and soul belong to you now...”
Su Tong: My lord, if you dare lie to me, I’ll call down lightning and strike you dead!
Jiang Hexiao sheds two humiliated tears. “Madam, please don’t say such things and break your husband’s heart. I wouldn’t dare...”
Su Tong: “Good. That’s my boy~”
Good-looking [admiration]
