Gu Changyuan was born into a family of generals. He followed his grandfather into battle at sixteen and became a renowned young general at twenty. A dashing young man in fine clothes, he was every young lady in the capital's dream.
Then, after a single defeat, he became a doomed cannon-fodder character in a story, fated to die young.
His engagement was brutally broken off, and he was left to spend the rest of his life confined to bed, barely scraping by. Blow after blow, he teetered on the brink of death.
Su Heng had powerful healing abilities and was the head of the Koi Clan, with incredible luck. But she never expected to fail her tribulation and stumble into a storybook she'd once read, becoming one of its characters who died young.
An imperial decree arrived, and she was chosen to bring good fortune to a dying man.
She loved beautiful things, and that very night, she took a liking to Gu Changyuan, who shared her misfortune.
Looking at his face, she took pity on him. "I'll save your life."
