This is a slow-burn story.
Luo Wanyu, a modern-day agent, accidentally fell into the sea during a mission and found herself in Qixuan, a country that never existed in history. She was rescued by Shen Qingyan, a general who guarded the south.
Grateful to him for saving her life, Luo Wanyu didn't mind Shen Qingyan's suspicions and did everything she could to help him. Without either of them realizing it, their hearts slowly drew closer.
When faced with a scheming woman's honeyed words, Shen Qingyan was unmoved. Gripping her by the throat, he said, “I've never hit a woman in my life, but if I hear you spreading lies about me again, I won't hesitate to kill you myself.”
When the court persecuted him, he was willing to surrender his military power for the woman he loved and retreat with her to a peach grove.
“Qingyan, did you regret giving up all that power and wealth for me?”
The man gently drew the woman into his arms. “Nothing could make me regret it more than losing you.”
