Yuzhi is a young widow from Dongshui Village. Her fresh-faced beauty makes her the target of unwanted attention, and her timid, weak nature makes her an easy target for everyone.
The boldest thing she ever did was secretly bring home a badly injured young man who had passed out.
Her aunt and uncle were going to sell her to the local bully for a few taels of silver. Heartbroken, Yuzhi decided to end her life. She cried in choked sobs to the handsome, unconscious man:
“Once I'm gone, I won't be able to look after you anymore. Sob, sob. Hurry and get better on your own.”
The unconscious man, who had never woken up since Yuzhi brought him home, moved his fingers at the sound of her sobbing.
“Damn, you're so noisy.” He clutched his head, his phoenix eyes slowly opening. “I'll kill them all for you.”
A tear hung at the corner of Yuzhi's eye. Still reeling from the shock of his waking, she stammered and shook her head.
“K-kill someone? No, we can't do that.”

Murong Ting, the younger of the Murong family's twin sons, was destined to be the family's hidden blade.
Betrayed by his own kin, his legs were crippled and he was left gravely injured and unconscious.
A weak, useless woman had saved him, the very sort of cowardly person Murong Ting had always despised most.
She didn't even know how to fight back when people bullied her. All she did was cry in front of him every day.
Murong Ting had no patience for such a delicate, useless woman. He only wanted to recover from his injuries and return to take revenge.
Back then, Murong Ting never imagined that one day he would willingly stay for this little widow.
In a turbulent age of strife, protecting her alone was enough for him.
The heroine is not a virgin; the hero is. Farming and homestead life. The male lead's leg injury will heal.
