Jin Wushuang: The young master of the Jin Family Escort Agency, with round cheeks, almond-shaped eyes, and a cute little tiger tooth. She fights with fierce energy, catches bandits with her bare hands, takes down a whole squad of hidden guards with knockout powder, and splashes a pot of tea for five hundred taels. She seems carefree and boisterous, but beneath that she is fiercely loyal and devoted. When she cries, she gets snot all over whoever is holding her.
Pei Jinghua: The second young master of the Pei family of Yingtian. Born into a military household, he gave up martial arts to pursue the scholarly path. Cool and self-possessed, he is a stickler for rules. At first, he sneers at her as a "rustic country woman." Later, he follows her all the way to her courtyard and crouches down to put her boots on for her. When confessing his feelings, he is so nervous all he can manage is, "Could you please not hate me?"
The appeal: One is so impulsive she keeps everyone worrying, while the other is too stiff to let his guard down. From "Stay away from me" to "I have feelings for you," it's high-energy from start to finish, with sweetness and heartbreak in equal measure.
