An emotionally oblivious female general x a refined, upright, immortal-like gentleman (with an ethereal beauty)

Two complete strangers meet on a rainy night.

She is on the brink of death when he saves her.

His compassionate heart is what leads him to save her.

Xie Lin thought she'd died young. When she opened her eyes, she saw an immortal-like gentleman standing before her.

So she shut her eyes and smiled dreamily: "Well, if I'm going to die, so be it!"

Wei Ziyou saw that Xie Lin's eyes were bright and her gaze lively, and wondered which spirited young lady she belonged to.

Little did he know the "young lady" was illiterate...

Excerpt 1:

Young servant: "Boo-hoo-hoo... Sir, that woman splashed water in my face!"

Wei Ziyou asked Xie Lin, "Do you still want me to apply the medicine?"

Xie Lin looked at him and smiled. "I want you to apply it for me, sir!"

Excerpt 2:

Xie Lin: "Here, take this jade. Don't be shy!" (She pats him on the shoulder.)

Wei Ziyou blushed. "It would be discourteous not to return a gift, so please accept this letter too."

Xie Lin scratched her head, hesitated, then took the letter.

They turned and went their separate ways.

Wei Ziyou: So we exchanged tokens. Does that mean we're engaged...? I wonder if my love letter was too forward...

Xie Lin: What do I do? The words know me, but I don't know them. What does this letter from Sir mean?

Excerpt 3:

Xie Lin went on a military campaign and saved Wei Ziyou's homeland from disaster, then openly asked the ruler of Yue for Wei Ziyou.

Xie Lin: Hi, hubby~

Wei Ziyou: Get lost! You heartless jerk, leaving without a word!

Excerpt 4:

Wei Ziyou: I'm going to become a monk!

Xie Lin: All right. Since you've made up your mind, sir, I'll just send you a portrait of a Bodhisattva as a token of my feelings.

A few days later, Wei Ziyou came storming back and threw the painting in her face. "You said you painted a Bodhisattva! Where is the Bodhisattva?!"

Xie Lin calmly picked it up and said with a smile, "That's the Bodhisattva!"

Wei Ziyou: "Why does the Bodhisattva have your face?"

Xie Lin: "So you can think of me more easily~"

Before you start reading:

1. Both leads are each other's first and only, one-on-one romance, happy ending.

2. The heroine is illiterate (mostly illiterate even after meeting the hero), and she's funny and crafty without losing her genuine nature.

3. The hero is a cool, handsome man with a refined, principled nature and a thoughtful heart. His personality is a charming contrast to the heroine's.

4. It's not easy to bring an icy, handsome man down to earth. Their love grows slowly and steadily.
