“Period drama + two lifetimes + heiress + rugged, devoted man + pure and sweet romance + ...”
Rong Qin was kidnapped, though not in the physical sense. To get back home, she was forced to head to the countryside and embark on a mission to save the villain.
She had a solid plan. Since the villain became a villain because of the heroine, she’d befriend him and guide him, telling him not to hang everything on one crooked tree when there was a whole forest waiting outside.
She racked her brains and gave it her all, determined to lead the villain out of that little mountain village and into the wider world, where he could see the whole forest for himself.
But before she could put her plan into action, she suddenly realized the plot wasn’t going as expected. Could someone explain why the villain had set his sights on her instead of the heroine?
Qin Ye: A poor wretch, unloved by both father and mother, he clung to life and grew up wild, weathering a long, cold childhood alone. Now he could shelter himself from wind and rain.
Only he knew that deep inside, he carried a barren, lonely place with no hope to be found. Then, one sunny afternoon, someone appeared, and that place began to thaw.
Rong Qin: Comrade Qin Ye, you’re clever and capable. You shouldn’t be stuck here. Listen, life is long, so don’t limit yourself. Once you get out there, you’ll see how wonderful the world can be.
Qin Ye, inwardly: My wife says I’m clever. My wife says she’ll take me back to the city.
Rong Qin: She alone remembered the extraordinary love they shared in that lifetime. She thought that the place in her heart called love would freeze over for good, never stirring for anyone again, until they met once more and her heart beat before her eyes could even recognize him.
