Qin Youyou transmigrated into a novel, where her beloved, Chi Yujin, died in an assassination. She cried so hard she was nearly ready to burn paper money for him.
Now he stood before her, holding out the purse she'd dropped, his gaze utterly cold.
Qin Youyou burst into tears on the spot and clung to him, refusing to let go.
Chi Yujin froze. In the end, he didn't push the girl away. Instead, he nervously tightened his grip on the purse.
Rumor had it that the young general Chi Yujin, who had made his name in a single battle, kept people at a distance, was ruthless and decisive, and had no interest in romance.
That was until everyone saw him attend a banquet, slowly leading a woman inside by the hand.
During the feast, he toyed with the woman's earlobe, his gaze languid and affectionate. He opened his mouth to eat the pastry she offered him.
The once-fearsome general had not a trace of his usual fierceness. He seemed bathed in a gentle glow.
Everyone: What happened to him having no interest in romance?

When Chi Yujin was nine, his mother, on her deathbed, tearfully told him, "Love is the most useless thing in this world."
He took her words to heart and never once fell in love.
That was until the daughter of a distant relative his mother had adopted came to his home to recuperate. The moment she saw him, she threw her arms around him and cried without end. He knew then that she would be his undoing.
She had skin as smooth as jade and bright, lively eyes. Whenever she saw him, she would softly call him "Brother Yu."
Later, when assassins attacked the general's residence, she, though afraid of pain, took an arrow for him. She wiped the hot blood from his face with gentle, careful movements.
Later still, when her marriage was arranged, she smiled as she said goodbye to him and wished him luck in finding a good match.
Chi Yujin could no longer deceive himself. He held her captive in his arms and personally ruined her engagement, willingly giving himself over to love.
He kept her by his side for the rest of their lives. From then on, whenever he went to war, one person was always in his heart.
Qin Youyou was both his weakness and his armor.
