The man she tricked all those years ago has come back to force her to make good on her promise.
[Female Lead's Perspective]
To stay alive, Cao Jieming, a girl from a foreign tribe, had no choice but to team up with a man to treat an illness and detoxify herself.
The man was wonderful in every way: tall and handsome, highly skilled in martial arts, attentive and caring, and very dedicated to helping her detoxify. There was just one thing wrong with him: he seemed to have fallen for her, and tried even harder to help her detoxify.
When the three-month treatment was over, he had to leave ahead of her because of an emergency at the front. He promised to come back and marry her once the war was over.
She packed up and ran away in the dead of night.
She hid for five years.
Until she stumbled into his hands again.
But why had his temperament changed so much?
[Male Lead's Perspective]
Five years ago, the fighting had temporarily stopped.
Gao Zhao had lost his father, and the woman had vanished without a trace.
He had gone to look for her in the hometown she had mentioned, but after searching the entire city, he discovered that no such person lived there.
Five years later, she was married and had a child, and she was entangled with someone else, living a life full of excitement.
Back then, he had given her his whole heart, and she had run away without telling him a single honest thing.
Now she had come to him of her own accord, all for the child she'd had with another man.
So what?
This time, she wouldn't escape, even if she grew wings.
