In the sixth year of Jianguang, the Balin tribe rebelled, plunging the Northern Sands into chaos. Zhaoning took three arrows and fell off a cliff, where Shen Weilou found her.
He was the man who saved her life, but he was also the man who had killed her royal brother years ago.
Her enemy.
To avenge her brother, Zhaoning deliberately "clings" to Shen Weilou.
She stays by his side, hiding her true feelings and biding her time, waiting for the chance to kill this "cur" who puts on a cool and aloof facade but is actually vicious and ruthless.
What Zhaoning didn't expect was that, even though Shen Weilou was blind, he was still so hard to deal with.
She poisoned him, but he was completely unharmed, while she suffered from diarrhea for three days.
She tried to have someone else kill him, but he turned the tables on her, nearly getting her captured by the Northern Sands rebels instead.
You cur! You cur! You
"Shen Weilou, "
That day beyond the frontier, just as Zhaoning was about to lose her head, a man in solemn white rode through the endless yellow sands toward her.
Flames roared, spreading everywhere.
Blood flowed from the long sword that had never before been drawn. Drops fell from its edge and struck Zhaoning's face.
Blood blurred her vision, and its heat sent her heart racing.
She raised her head and, amid sleeves fluttering wildly, saw his face, as cool and distant as frost.
He said:
"First, I wasn't the one who killed your brother."
"Second, I'll protect you until the day you marry."
-
After faking his death and fleeing the capital, Shen Weilou found a young woman on the frontier who was determined to kill him. She was beautiful as a flower and radiant as the sun, but behind his back she was ruthless and sly as a fox.
After countless tests and schemes, Shen Weilou was struck by a cruel joke of fate just as he began to think of killing her:
She was the younger sister of his late sworn brother.
From then on, Shen Weilou vowed to be a good sworn older brother.
He raised her, protected her, cared for her, and took on the responsibility of an elder brother by keeping her in line
But she was fiercely untamable!
-
"You were the one who promised to protect me until the day I married, and you're also the one trying to steal me from my wedding. You keep calling yourself my sworn brother, but what kind of sworn brother are you? You're a hypocrite, a scoundrel, pretending to be a cool and upright gentleman. Do you think I'll respect and love you? Never. Shen Weilou, I'll never call you 'big brother' in this life."
"Fine. Then call me husband."
