The story is mostly lighthearted, but it actually has a tragic ending. Don't read if that's not for you.
This is a story I wrote some time ago, so the tropes may be a little dated.
The heroine is bold in love and hate, decisive and resolute.
The hero is passive, and you could even say he's afraid to approach her. But his appeal lies in his loyalty to the ruler and love of his country. He is a court minister and a general in troubled times, devoted to the people, and dies because the emperor suspects him.
The story is pretty silly, so don't argue with me.
Theme: A patriot is willing to enter a mountain of blades and a sea of flames, bearing a heart as precious as gold and jade.
