A sweet story about mutual secret love, with a wife-chasing plot but no crematorium. 2. The male lead will be lame at first, but will recover later. 3. Everyday farming life, with little political intrigue. 4. The male lead was inspired by Li Chengqian, Crown Prince of Tang. History buffs, please don't nitpick. 5. The leads are both terrible at speaking their minds.
