[Gentle, accomplished noblewoman vs. taciturn, aloof general + heroine who can foresee the future + awakening from lovestruck foolishness + hero carefully plotting to win her back + second male lead gets his comeuppance]
Fu Luanxi, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of An's household, was so determined to marry her childhood sweetheart Pei Xuan that she knelt in the snow and begged her parents to approve the match, then fainted.
By chance, she saw a vision of the future: Pei Xuan would use her as a stepping stone to climb to power, then massacre her entire family!
Once she came to her senses, Fu Luanxi finally understood and cut all ties with the scoundrel.
To strengthen the duke's household and protect her family, she tried to win the favor of Gu Beici, her former lover's sworn enemy.
When she first met General Gu Beici, Fu Luanxi's every smile and frown was graceful and refined.
Gu Beici was as aloof as a chrysanthemum, and the moment he spoke, he made it clear he wanted to keep his distance.
What she didn't know was that he was so nervous his whole body had stiffened, and he hardly dared look at her, let alone figure out what to say to win her favor.
The next time they met, Fu Luanxi took the initiative to show him her goodwill. He replied, “How could I let such a lovely woman down?”
Later, Gu Beici regretted his words. “If I accept you now, how could I protect you and your entire family? Give me a little more time. I will welcome you into my home with a wedding procession stretching ten li.”
Unable to win Gu Beici's favor, Fu Luanxi decided to look for someone else. When Gu Beici found out, he went to see her and asked plaintively, “Miss Fu, are you really in such a hurry to get married?”
Fu Luanxi gently pushed away the hand he had braced against the wall and smiled.
“General Gu, you hold a high position and wield great power. I am only a woman, and all I want is to find a good man who can protect me and my family. Since you have no interest, why stop me from finding happiness?”
Gu Beici drew her into his arms and murmured as he lowered his gaze, “I am the one meant for you. From the moment I first saw you, it was fated!”
