[Pocket Dimension + Farming + Marriage First, Love Later + Protective Hero + Comeback + Two Strong Leads]
Dark currents swirl through Great Zhou. The new emperor seized the throne by murdering his brother, while the deposed crown prince and the eldest princess have disappeared without a trace. The great families are in a state of panic.
After Xie Ying loses both her parents, she and her little brother have only each other. Her clan members covet all the fields and property in her name. On a rainy night, she trudges through the mud to knock on the door. When the hunter Gu Yan opens it, she gets straight to the point: “Brother Gu, let's get married.”
Gu Yan: “Why me?”
Xie Ying smiles. “Because nobody dares to mess with you. You can protect me.”
Gu Yan answers, “All right.”
“I'll take care of your mother and sister, and you protect me and Jin and help me keep our family property. If you fall for someone else someday, just ask for a divorce. I won't cling to you.”
Gu Yan's brow furrows. His hand clenches at his side, then relaxes. His voice is low and firm. “…That won't happen.”
