[Pure historical romance + devoted couple + happy ending]
A volatile, violent lord | A gentle, sweet young lady of the principal family
Shen Zhiye, the youngest daughter of the Shen family, was sent to Qiwuling in exchange for weapon blueprints.
Rumor had it that the lord of Qiwuling was a violent demon.
Who could have imagined that this lord, so fierce and unruly in the eyes of outsiders, would one day submit to Shen Zhiye?
“Shen Zhiye, you’ve gotten bold. Aren’t you afraid of me anymore?”
“Stop crying. I was wrong.”
Two subordinates whispered outside the door, exchanging stunned looks.
The lord... was wrong?
That day, she rescued a dying wild rabbit in a rice paddy. He said its death was fate, and that it would be better to leave it to perish on its own, in accordance with the natural order.
She lowered her eyes to the rabbit in her arms. “My lord just said that this was its fate. But ever since I was born, doctors from everywhere have said I was destined to live no more than ten years. Father refused to believe in fate, and so do I.”
She looked up at him, starlight reflected in her eyes. “Look, I’ve already come of age.”
He had turned to leave, but his steps stopped in place.
