In the eyes of the world, Qiao Jingmo and the great general Ji Xu treat each other with polite respect. He is no good at expressing his love for Ji Xu. Afraid of making a fool of himself if he says the wrong thing, he keeps his distance and does not dare approach her.
To Ji Xu, this only confirms that there is not the slightest trace of love between her and Qiao Jingmo.
When her thoughts grow hazy, she remembers the herbal scent on Qiao Jingmo. Its sharp, spicy aroma briefly brings Ji Xu back to her senses...
The devastating news that Ji Xu died in battle on the frontier, still standing guard before the city gates, leaves Qiao Jingmo consumed by grief. He is named after jingmo, an herb that can stop a knife wound from bleeding, yet he cannot heal the knife wounds on Ji Xu's body.
Reborn once more, Qiao Jingmo no longer keeps his sweet words hidden in his heart. He tries to learn how to speak romantically, repeatedly attempting to win Ji Xu's favor, only to meet with failure time and again.
He and Ji Xu begin to feel each other's sensations.
When she hurts, he hurts.
He knows all her joys and sorrows, who makes her happy and who makes her sad.
Only love cannot be shared.*
Qiao Jingmo finds it strange.
When Ji Xu eats spicy food, Qiao Jingmo, who cannot eat even one spicy dish, keeps drinking iced tea, his eyes reddening at the corners and his voice growing hoarse.
When she massages her shoulders, he feels discomfort in his own shoulders and hisses through his teeth.
When she pounds her lower back, Qiao Jingmo, seated at the consultation table, collapses onto it as if struck hard in the back.
There is no way for Ji Xu to hide any injury from Qiao Jingmo.
She says to the doctor, whose hands are trembling, "You don't have to force yourself, Dr. Qiao."
Thinking of Ji Xu covered in blood in her previous life, Qiao Jingmo is overcome with grief. "I love you. I am devoted to you. I wish I could suffer in your place!"
Sobbing uncontrollably, he speaks of a heartache so intense it feels as if he might die. Their intimacy as husband and wife is inseparable, yet their love has remained unspoken on the surface. His words reveal how important Ji Xu is to him.
Qiao Jingmo sees surprise and tenderness in Ji Xu's eyes. In that instant, they are finally able to share their love.
