    This is a sweet and romantic novel. The female lead, Shen Wangshu, appears delicate and fragile on the surface, but is actually quite intelligent. She's said to have mind-reading abilities, but these are rarely used throughout the story, and eventually disappear altogether. There are no awful characters or melodramatic plot twists; it's just a sweet romance. The male lead, Chen Ting, has an incredibly endearing contrast: ruthless killer on the battlefield, but a devoted and affectionate pet at home!
