Yuru is brave, resilient, independent, and strong. After disaster strikes her family, she takes the initiative and brings her younger cousins north to find their uncle, who defected to the Sui. He ought to know what has happened to the family since he betrayed them.
They travel far, crossing mountains and rivers. Spring rain and Cold Food Festival in a country cottage, sunset and a hot bath in Zhegu Town, a night of terror escaping certain death in Qinghuai Valley...
After they meet by chance, they travel together all the way to Luoyang.
He faces his superior's fury for her:
"Reporting to the general: she is from Chen, but she is not our enemy."
He takes forty lashes to save her.
When Meng Liao faints from the beating, Yuru, who knows nothing of what happened, is trudging through Luoyang's dusk.
...If she falls in love with an officer of Sui, how is she any different from her uncle?
Greed for profit is selfish desire, and love is selfish desire too.
Yuru closes her eyes. The evening drums of Luoyang ring out above her, one after another, like a judgment shared by all the heavens. They judge her for the first time in her life not wanting to restrain her own desires.

Meng Liao is steadfast, stern, and oblivious to romance. He was never someone who could fall in love. Life is nothing but a journey of hardships. He has never had the time to concern himself with love.
Until that spring, when Yuru crossed the river with A Zhan and A Huai. The first time she blurted out, "Meng Lang," the hand that had always held a sword suddenly clenched at empty air.
For the first time in his life, he fell in love, but he had no idea what to do.

Hey, why can't I see it 😭
Thank you for your hard work, madam! Stories with real historical background always make me think that even if lovers can have a happy moment after they finally get married, they will still struggle in the troubled times of the late Sui Dynasty. There are too few people writing about the Sui Dynasty, but my wife is amazing 😆
[Cat's Claw]🥺🥺🥺 It's so well written, I'm so nervous too, this feeling of having a loved one go to war
I can't help it anymore. What a good body you have to be able to resist like this...
This chapter makes me want to cry. Why must we fight? 😭 It's so pitiful for everyone.
Why can't I understand what's written? [I'm afraid] I read it too fast.
Such a beautiful article is free?!
