The Capital's Most Dramatic Heiress × A Pure-Hearted, Devoted General
Wen Zhixu, eldest legitimate daughter of the Duke of Anguo's household, the emperor's niece, and the most treasured jewel in the capital.
She appears dignified and elegant, but in truth she's a quirky little troublemaker with a mind of her own
She names her koi and calls roll every day, climbs over walls in the middle of the night just to get a sweet drink,
fakes an illness to escape a matchmaking meeting, and loves teasing the new, cold-faced general.
Lu Xi, a young general born to a humble family, earned his fourth-rank position through military service.
Everyone says he's unworthy of the young lady who lives among the clouds,
but only Wen Zhixu knows
His ears turn red when she teases him,
he remembers every offhand thing she says,
he comes to see her every day with clumsy excuses,
and he always asks cautiously, “May I love you?”
“Lu Xi, are you pursuing me?”
“…Yes. May I?”

✅️Chapter 68, Already Married It looks good and has no flaws. 💚Female lead: A noblewoman from the capital city VS Male lead: General Han Su There aren't any truly vicious male or female supporting characters, they're just a bit annoying. The female lead knows she shouldn't marry down too much, and the male lead knows he's not good enough for her, but they can't control their feelings. Their secret crushes eventually blossom into a mutual commitment, and they work together towards their goal.
It's a pretty sweet and lighthearted story with no angst. The male lead is incredibly doting on the female lead. Also, in many of the earlier chapters, the male lead is referred to as "indigo blue," and it's always "indigo blue." I don't understand why they didn't just say "Lu Xi" directly.
This book is really good, but I don't know why so few people read it. I think the story of the male and female leads is very touching. The male lead has a clear understanding of his own limitations; he knows he's not good enough for the female lead, so he's willing to fight countless battles for her, striving to make himself worthy of her. Where in reality can you find someone so good? It really makes me cry. I just hope the male lead can take the initiative later on.
It's a beautiful and heartwarming novel; the author is very talented.
It's the first time I've listened to each episode and chapter without skipping anything. The slow, steady flow is so nice and soothing.
My feeling is that it's a slow-burning, enduring love, unrelated to family background, simply because I like it.
It's a great read. The back-and-forth tug-of-war between the two is really captivating. I love this kind of quietly unfolding, sweet romance novel where the characters' feelings for each other are deeply intertwined.
It's so beautiful! Simple happiness 🥰
It's a great read; the chapters are short, but the content is exquisite.
Unlike other ancient romance novels, this one features a slow-paced, gradual development of the female lead who isn't overly dramatic. She's a bit arrogant, and while there are some repetitive parts that make it slightly wordy, it's not excessive and overall quite good.
