History prodigy Su Wanqing transmigrates to the late Eastern Han dynasty, becoming an orphan girl stranded in Jiangdong.
To survive, she disguises herself as a boy and takes a job at the Sun household.
One day, Sun Quan returns from training his troops. The young general is covered in mud, but his eyes blaze like torches.
"You can read?" he asks, pointing to the simplified characters she had casually written on the sand table.
She grits her teeth and makes up a story about her past, unaware that he has already seen through her disguise.
Sun Quan dips his finger in blood and writes the character for "protect" in her palm. "From now on, I'll keep you safe."
When an imperial edict arranging a marriage suddenly arrives, he coldly pushes her away. "I'm marrying her to protect your life."
In tears, she packs her things and slips out of the residence in the dead of night, through the rain.
Behind her, hoofbeats thunder like a storm. The young man, soaked to the skin, gallops after her.
"The whole world may betray me, but never you!"
The premise is interesting and the overall tone is good, but wouldn't it be better to reduce some of the repetitive descriptions? For example, the female lead's descriptions of "terrified, trembling, pale, and shocked," and the male lead's descriptions of "angry and cold"—these words seem to appear in every chapter, too frequently. My first impression of the main characters is that one is constantly pale and injured, always in a state of fear, while the other is constantly in a rage. 😂
❤️❤️❤️I really want the author to update soon! Author, hurry up and write! 😢😢
Meow, it's so rare to see a novel with this kind of theme that's also pretty good! It hurts so much to see it still being serialized 😢
Excellent article, unlike the monotonous, formulaic writing of many online novels these days. I eagerly await updates every day; thank you for your hard work, author!
It's great! Keep it up, author!
Everything is fine, except for one thing I don't understand: why is the female lead always so humble, trembling, and fearful? The story revolves around sharing power, so I'm looking forward to seeing a strong female lead.
