Historical romance, blurb needs revision
On the day Xiao Jin's best friend was buried, heavy rain fell. Of everyone there, only his friend's fiancee held the memorial tablet and bit her lip as she cried.
With his hand wrapped in bandages and dressed in black, Xiao Jin stood silently at the end of the street, no trace of his usual carefree manner.
His friend had been the best friend Xiao Jin ever had. He had carried Xiao Jin on his back to escape their pursuers and taken a fatal sword strike for him. That very sword strike had cost him his life.
As he lay dying, coughing up blood, he asked Xiao Jin to take care of the woman he loved most, his fiancee.

Yue Su married her late husband and observed three years of mourning for him.
She married Xiao Jin again to help him fend off romantic rivals.
From separate rooms, to separate beds, to sharing a bed, it took them nearly five years from the day they met.
Only much later did she learn that this had all been carefully planned by Xiao Jin, against his own conscience.
