In his previous life, Lu Chuan watched Liu Rou fall in love with a handsome, gentle young heir of a noble family. He watched her rejoice for him and grieve for him. Believing that loving her meant learning to let her go, Lu Chuan chose to protect her silently from the sidelines.
That protection came to an end when his life was cut short by an accident at the age of twenty-five.
After his death, however, he saw that the noble heir did not love Liu Rou at all. He had only been toying with her, and then turned around and married Liu Rou's wicked younger sister. Together, they killed Liu Rou.
In this life, he would never again cling to that damnable belief. If she was his, he would hold on to her tight!
Liu Rou: I have a System!
Lu Chuan: No, you don't.
Liu Rou: I only saved you because it was a mission!
Lu Chuan: Mm, I know.
Liu Rou: Then stop clinging to me and insisting on repaying me!
Lu Chuan: Impossible. Don't even think about it. I'm determined to repay this debt!
Liu Rou fell apart and asked the System what to do.
"Why not give it a try?"
"Look at how handsome he is. We won't lose out!"
So she gave it a try, only to end up giving him her whole life.
Later, Liu Rou rested her dainty feet on the leg of the fearsome General Lu, watching the hands that everyone feared wielding swords and blades as he trimmed her toenails.
Well, she definitely came out ahead.
Theme: Warm and steadfast protection.
