    The male lead is a powerful military general, feared even by the emperor. The female lead is a noble princess. He falls head over heels for her at first sight, kneeling only before her, even willing to drink poison offered to him. He is devoted to her to the death. The female lead has a lover, but marries the male lead to save her country. Due to a misunderstanding, she believes the male lead killed her brother and family, leading to a tragic ending. The male lead sacrifices his own life to save the female lead. Many might consider the male lead's impurity—he has a child with another woman after a fight with the female lead—but this also contributes to the female lead's departure and serves to advance the plot. I've read this book three times; the writing is excellent and not childish. Highly recommended.
