    The plot is fast-paced and worth watching. [Heart] The male lead's doting on his wife is unlike any other. He doesn't care about the country; 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 free-spirited and quite wild. While the female lead doesn't remember her past life's love-hate relationship with the male lead, her soul remains hers. She's a little socially awkward, but she's quick to criticize and never one to stick her neck out.
