She was descended from a red capitalist family. Orphaned and frail, she was barely able to stay alive.
With her spiritual eyes, she could tell good from evil.
With a single spring of spiritual water, she could save someone on the brink of death.
Her grandmother entrusted her to a soldier she had never met.
He came from a family with three generations of military service. At twenty-six, he was a regiment commander and the army’s undisputed God of War.
Cold-faced and cold-hearted, he had killed countless men. With her, though, he was so awkward he had to wipe the calluses from his hands before he could hold hers.
She thought their marriage was about duty, repaying a debt, and the bond their families had forged with their lives.
Until he returned from the battlefield, covered in blood, and the first thing he did was pull her into his arms. “Don’t be afraid. I’m back.”
Until he learned the secret of her spiritual spring space, and his first reaction wasn’t delight, but:
“If anyone finds out about this, you’ll be killed.”
She asked him, “Did you marry me to repay a debt, or...?”
He cut her off. “What debt? There’s only one truth I believe in, Gu Beichen: you are my life.”
