Han Zhu tapped his fan against his palm and asked, "Your name is Yu Zhao?"
Yu Zhao washed the needles as she replied, "Yes."
Han Zhu gave a half-smile. "You're a fisherman's daughter, yet your name sounds like that of a young lady from a wealthy family."
Yu Zhao explained softly, "Because Dad said that Yu Zhao spelled backward sounds like 'lure fish.'"
Han Zhu's smile froze.
Once he recovered, he said, "There's a fish pond over there. Why don't you lure some fish over for me?"
When a country doctor takes in a young master from a prestigious family;
When the young master brings the country doctor back from a blood-soaked battlefield.
When the silver needles in the doctor's hands are replaced by a sword, and her usually serene expression turns icy;
When the young master tosses aside his elegant fan and pulls his old companion into his arms.
"I remember you saying that having a sword in your heart doesn't mean being cold-blooded. A swordsman who takes the sword as a companion is the loneliest person in the world."
"What kind of nonsense are you dreaming up? Come on, let's go home!"
[A Few Notes]
1. Yes, this is an idea for a revenge story where the male lead saves the female lead!
2. Couple: sickly young master x female physician. But this physician is a bit of a yandere, hmm...
3. Following Lao Xu's example, I'll do my best to weave warmth and angst together!

Although it's a heterosexual romance, it's still very sweet... It's a really great short story.
I rewatched it, and the feeling of destiny is so wonderful ^_^ But if Young Master Han hadn't discovered Ah Zhao's secret, it might have been another tragedy repeating itself! I was so worried for them, thankfully they ended up together!
I've finished reading it, and it feels like I'm one step closer to you.
Humans are born weak and frail, yet die strong and resilient. This might be a somewhat extreme statement, much like Ding Xingzi's incomprehension of Yu Zhao, and also reflects my own personal values. Living well is the most difficult thing, and also the most important. While I don't agree with it, I can understand it. Fortunately, the ending is good, and Han Zhu successfully saved Yu Zhao.
Kudos to Thirteen! By the way, lotus pods actually have thorns... I just found out!
