“A sweet, flirtatious young lady who doesn’t know she’s flirting x a devoted, restrained guard who doesn’t know he’s in love”
Mu Yi, the only daughter of the Governor’s residence, is doted on by her family. But there is one thing they forbid: she is not allowed to leave the residence often. That is, until her father brings home a guard.
His name is Wei Chuan. He is handsome, and after he arrives, she has much more freedom. She likes spending time with him.
She hears that he has been to many places, and waits for him to take her out to see the world. But what comes instead is his sudden, unexplained departure.
Later, the Governor’s residence is raided. In the pouring rain, her hair disheveled, she falls into the mud. A pursuer’s sword is inches from her when she closes her eyes. When she opens them again, she sees a familiar face.
Tears roll down her cheeks, and her voice is full of hurt.
“Wei Chuan, don’t you want me anymore?”
The young man pulls her into his arms.
“This subordinate will stay by your side for the rest of my life, my lady.”
Wei Chuan is an assassin. He does his employers’ bidding, carrying out one assassination after another. The blood on his hands has made his heart cold, until one day his employer tells him to protect a young lady.
This assignment is unlike the others. The young lady is innocent and straightforward, always asking him all sorts of questions with a bright smile, questions he considers foolish.
He tries to put aside his usual coldness and act like a normal person around her. As time passes, he realizes that being with her is one of the rare times he can truly relax.
Later, when the assignment ends, he returns to the capital and finds himself constantly missing her foolish questions.
When he learns that the Mu family has fallen into trouble, he rides through the night to reach her. Seeing mud smeared across her jade-like face fills him with pain.
Later, the Mu family is cleared of its crimes, and the emperor arranges a marriage for the young lady. Though he is reluctant, he only wants what is best for her. A man like him, stained with blood, may not be worthy of someone as radiant as her.
Until the young lady runs up to him and demands, “Wei Chuan! You said you’d stay by my side for the rest of my life!”
Born a cherished jewel, she is innocent and charming, her eyes full of life, never realizing that she has already stirred someone’s heart.
