Bright, spirited, heaven's favored daughter x gentle, restrained, aloof gentleman
Shen Shu came from the main line of an influential family. He was strikingly handsome, reserved and self-possessed, and always carried an air of detachment that made him seem distant and untouchable.
His life had been overturned, and he bore an old injury, yet his character remained quietly steadfast. Without showing it, he could set the undercurrents of the martial world in motion.
In this life, he'd seen betrayal and tasted every kind of coldness. He'd thought all that remained for him was loneliness and revenge.
Until Jiang Yan appeared.
The young woman's features were bright and clear, and she carried herself with ease. She seemed to radiate light and openness.
Step by step, she drew closer, warming him little by little and gently pulling him out of the darkness that had lasted for years.
He didn't dare to love her or ask her to stay. All his concern and restraint were hidden in his silence and careful distance.
She understood his coldness and knew his pain. She traveled far and grew stronger, all so she could return and stand beside him.
When the secrets of the influential families were finally revealed and the battle over the inheritance settled,
he looked at her, his voice slightly hoarse, and at last spoke softly:
"Jiang Yan, don't leave again."
May peace reign over the land, and may every year bring lasting peace.
All I want is to have you by my side, year after year.
