In the world of alchemy, everything can be [assigned a value], and everything can be [exchanged for something of equal value].
Except for [feelings], which cannot be measured.
So Situ Wang, who plans to devote her entire life to alchemy, has no need for love. She's lived that way for the past twenty-six and a half years, and plans to do so for the next fifty-two.
Yet a twenty-one-year-old deputy captain of the Griffin Knights comes knocking, claiming she's his first love. He's talented, has boundless prospects, and is flawless in looks, family background, personality, ability, and achievement.
A "dryad woman" is a woman who has given up on love and lives in a lazy, comfortable way that suits her.
"Sorry, I'm not interested in love. It's such a troublesome, complicated thing."
"There's no need to be conflicted. I haven't given you any option other than saying yes."
?
"You keep pestering me even after I've clearly rejected you. That's stalker behavior."
"But I'm so handsome, so surely I can be forgiven."
??? Where's the handsome knight who's supposed to be gentle, considerate, polite, and understanding? Who's this shameless guy declaring himself a stalker?
A seemingly demure, refined woman who's actually cold and sharp-tongued x a seemingly gentle, considerate man who's actually a domineering, scheming puppy
