Pei Xuanshuang was a female doctor who lived in seclusion in the mountains. By chance, she saved a nobleman and was forced to become a guest at his residence.
The nobleman treated her very well, but his grandsons had ulterior motives. The intentions lurking beneath those pairs of smoldering dark eyes were all too obvious.
Knowing she was in trouble, Pei Xuanshuang left the capital in the middle of the night.
She had barely escaped the city gates when a troop of black-armored cavalry surrounded her carriage.
A gleaming longsword lifted the carriage curtain, and a peerlessly handsome man stared at her with a cold smile. “Come back with me, or die here. Pick one.”
--
When Xie Xun first met Pei Xuanshuang, he thought the female doctor was cool and otherworldly, quite unlike the vulgar beauties he usually encountered.
So when his subordinate offered to give her to him, he gave his tacit approval.
In the end, not only did he fail to get the beauty, he nearly lost his own life.
Only then did he realize he'd run into a formidable opponent.
But so what if she was tough?
Anyone Xie Xun set his sights on would be imprisoned in his grasp, even if it meant both of them suffered bloody injuries.

Blurb:
The day Xiao Jincheng rescued Han Ji, the son of a family friend, he kindly asked him if he had any unfulfilled wishes.
Han Ji replied, “I have no attachments left in this life, save for my fiancee, Wen Qingyu.”
Out of curiosity, Xiao Jincheng ordered someone to bring Wen Qingyu to Prince Qi's residence.
That day, heavy snow fell from the sky. Wen Qingyu, dressed in red, walked through the snow and smiled at him beneath her oil-paper umbrella.
“May I ask where Han Ji is now, Your Highness Prince Qi?”
Xiao Jincheng gazed at her peerlessly beautiful face and felt as if the wind had stopped and the snow had melted.
After that...
He couldn't help lying to her. “Han Ji is dead. My condolences, Miss Wen.”
*
After Han Ji's death, Wen Qingyu was despondent and heartbroken.
Fortunately, Xiao Jincheng was always by her side, comforting her, checking on her, and looking after her with the utmost care.
How could she not know what he wanted from her? But her heart belonged to someone else, so she remained unmoved.
Until one day, he took an arrow for her and was left close to death.
At his bedside, Xiao Jincheng, barely clinging to life, held her hand and asked if she would spend the rest of her life with him.
Looking at his handsome, refined face, Wen Qingyu felt her heart shatter, but in the end she nodded.
However, the day before the wedding, she received news that Han Ji was still alive.
She desperately wanted to leave Prince Qi's residence, but Xiao Jincheng stopped her without mercy.
“He really is dead. He just died.”
Xiao Jincheng's eyes were icy. With a faint smile, he held out a brocade box containing Han Ji's head. “If you don't believe me, open it and see...”

The one my heart is bound to,
even if I break her wings,
I'll keep her by my side.
