[Decisive and ruthless + Consumed by a secret crush + Living King of Hell x Slow-witted, grateful, single-minded little wildflower]
Wen Yun was rescued from the snow by the Wen family. When she was eighteen, she was mistaken for a spy and taken into military custody.
That was the first time she met Qian Heng. The man fixed her with a cold stare from eyes that had seen countless deaths. “If you can't save him, you die too.”
Wen Yun later learned that this man was not only the Living King of Hell in the army, but also a powerful minister who ruled the capital with an iron fist.
What frightened her even more was that after they met again in the capital, the Living King of Hell suddenly began taking “special care” of her.
He gave her money, a house, and a shop. If she so much as lost a strand of hair, he summoned the imperial physician.
Wen Yun trembled with fear. He must be keeping an eye on me, waiting until I'm no longer useful before he kills me!
To save her life, she decided to flee beyond his reach.
But the very next day, the man cornered her in an alley, his eyes red and his voice trembling. “Have I not treated you well enough? Why are you running?”
Wen Yun was bewildered. “Lord Qian, you saved my life. I haven't repaid you yet...”
Qian Heng gritted his teeth. “I don't want you to repay me. I want you to...”
“Want what?” “Want me?”
P.S. From the male lead's perspective: a secret crush comes true. From the female lead's perspective: her lifesaver seems to be a little unhinged.
The male lead's love is something he learns to express little by little, suppresses, and finally lets burst forth.
Theme: Life is a journey against the current. Keep rowing, and you can break through.
