   The plot is fast-paced and worth watching. The male lead's doting on his wife is unique; he doesn't care about the country's interests, as long as she's comfortable, his future is irrelevant—that's true, unconditional pampering. The male lead possesses memories of his past life as a warlord, so his thinking isn't bound by the constraints of soldiers of that era; he's always free-spirited and quite wild. Although the female lead doesn't remember her past life's love-hate entanglement with the male lead, her soul remains the same. She's a little socially awkward, but she's quick to criticize and never one to stick her neck out.

    1️⃣ The first interaction between the male and female leads was incredibly bittersweet: she felt disgusted by being followed by a "country rat," but the boy simply clutched her candy, carefully turning his hearing aid to its maximum, just to hear her name. His affection for her was so humble—frantically absorbing the scent she left behind from the ground she had trod, like a wild beast crushed by fate yet still obsessed with chasing the light. That almost primal obsession and longing gave the melodramatic story a unique freshness! The male lead, Jiang Muchen, is not your average "poor, arrogant, and handsome guy." Beyond poverty and loneliness, his deafness, muteness, and the despair of losing loved ones in a landslide make his unrequited love the only sweetness in his life. He and the aloof Ling Yue, like an insurmountable chasm and a rainbow bridge, collided, creating a breathtaking chemical reaction! Ling Yue is also a particularly interesting female lead. She has a bad temper and speaks hurtfully, but her kindness is evident in every little detail: she'll even offer the food to her bodyguards if it's unpalatable, possessing the affectation of a princess without the pretentiousness of a hypocrite. Her portrayal of her father's feelings is incredibly realistic, capturing rebellion, complaints, reluctance to part, and protectiveness. —Highly recommended! You'll regret it if you don't read it!
