Synopsis

[Strong heroine, weaker hero x mutual secret crush x rekindled romance x genuinely sickly male lead who never gets better x low-stakes court intrigue]

The emperor decrees a marriage, and the youngest daughter of General Meng’s family is ordered to wed the youngest prime minister in the history of the Dali dynasty.

For two years after their wedding, the pair treat each other with respect. They never have a disagreement, but neither are they ever intimate.

Then war suddenly breaks out on the frontier. Meng Ge is determined to reclaim the lost territory and asks Liang Shuyan for a divorce.

Liang Shuyan is devastated and faints after coughing up blood several times, but in the end, he still chooses to let her go.

She belongs under the open sky. She should not be trapped within these four walls.

Meng Ge leaves without looking back, unaware that the already frail and sickly Liang Shuyan can’t get through a day without medicine and can’t sleep at night. Since she left, his suffering has reduced him to skin and bones.

Two years later, they meet again on the war-torn frontier.

By then, most of his hair has turned white, while the fighting has left her with a fierce look in her eyes.

Meng Ge never knew that the proud and dignified prime minister, who always acted so strong in public, would cry and cling to her hand, begging her not to leave.

Once they clear up their misunderstandings and get back together, they discover that an even bigger conspiracy awaits them back in the capital...

A few things to know before reading:

1. The author loves writing genuinely sickly male leads. He’ll stay ill and never get better. This is already the author’s fourth novel of this type on Tomato.

2. The author isn’t good at writing political intrigue, so most of the plot will revolve around the two leads. The setting and world are entirely fictional.

3. This is firmly a 1v1 romance with both leads sexually inexperienced. There may be some angst along the way, but it will definitely have a happy ending.

It's so good! 🥰 Fans of stories featuring sickly but strong leads are in for a treat! The male lead may be physically weak, but he's incredibly intelligent! The female lead may be a little slow-witted, but she's physically strong!!! I'm absolutely loving it!!

I've been reading for so long and realized I haven't written a review yet. It's still Cheng Yu'an's sweet romance novel, yes, that's right. Although our male lead is weak, his little sister spoils him rotten 💕 Cheng Yu'an is still consistently excellent, it's so enjoyable to read 🥰 Although the ratings aren't high yet, we'll continue to support Liang Shuye and Fourth Uncle. Love you, Cheng Yu'an, keep going! 😘

It's quite good. The male and female leads are both well-developed and complement each other perfectly. The sickly nature of the male lead is really well-written; I was constantly worried about whether he would survive to the end. Personally, I prefer a sweet romance with physical abuse for the male lead. So, for me, the romance developed too slowly.

What I love most about this book is that although it's a bit angsty for the male lead, they both still have feelings for each other, the female lead loves the male lead very much, and most importantly, it's a 1v1 relationship with both leads being virgins! 😘😘😘

Keep up the good work, author! You have several completed books, all of which are quite enjoyable. If you don't want to read the serialized ones, you can go to the author's homepage to read the completed ones. Trust me, they are all very, very delicious.

Ahh, I love reading these sickly, ancient romance novels. The female lead is so strong and cool; I love strong women like this the most. They look so good together!

The content is very much to my liking, but the writing style needs improvement.

It's a good show. The male lead suffers in the middle, which makes the female lead feel sorry for him, but it gets sweet later on. 😘
