In the twelfth year of the Rongde era, Prince Gong Nan Xu traveled south with his princess consort and settled at Baoguo Temple. The prince was handsome and dashing, the princess consort a peerless beauty. They were deeply in love and had two adorable children. The children were mischievous, scattering a freshly swept pile of leaves. The monk sweeping the ground looked up. "A Ying?" The princess consort said, "Bring the young heir and young princess over to meet their great-uncle." Before the eyes of the crowd, the sweeping monk and the prince stood at daggers drawn. Looking at the man with his pitiful, sorrowful expression, A Ying said scornfully, "Leng Shi'an, I already have a husband." Leng Shi'an clung to her leg pitifully. "I don't need a title..."

[Novel Blurb] Qian Zhuyu was the apple of the old Qian family's eye, so soft and gentle that they feared she would melt if they held her in their mouths, or break if they held her in their hands. After her family was destroyed and everyone she loved was gone, she used the last money she had earned to settle her younger brother, Qian Duoduo, into an academy. With nowhere else to turn, she carried her father's secret letter and knocked on the gates of Prince Xiang's residence. The legendary Prince Xiang was said to be a cold, obsessive killer who recognized no family ties. Yet in the main hall, Qian Zhuyu saw a handsome young man with clear, bright features and an imposing bearing. Her face flushed red as blood. Yan Jingyu said, "I accept this marriage." At that moment, Qian Zhuyu nearly fainted. "I actually just wanted to borrow some money..." The cold and ruthless Prince Xiang rode into battle, cutting down enemies on every side. After more than nine years of fighting his way through every obstacle, when the new emperor ascended the throne and peace returned to the realm, he was a meritorious supporter of the new ruler, a battle-hardened god of war whom Northern Ji could not do without. And that sweet, delicate darling had long since become the one person he could not do without. Qian Zhuyu stared at him, crying so hard that bubbles of snot formed on her nose. "The killer at the Treasure Hall, and that other one... It was you all along... Then I won't leave. You can't manage without me..." Yan Jingyu pulled her into his arms, letting the snot bubbles smear across his chest. "In the end, which one of us can't manage without the other...?" Prince Xiang Yan Jingyu was stern and domineering, yet a warm and doting husband. He quietly supported and helped his wife from the shadows, and along the way, her resilience and optimism moved and healed him. Theme: A good romance is about helping each other become better.
