His Childhood Friend, Her Childhood Sweetheart

[A scheming heir VS a cool, beautiful swordswoman]

Childhood sweethearts + young married couple + doting romance + devoted to each other + ensemble cast + slow-burn love + political intrigue

Peng Qing had been quiet and cold since childhood, like an iceberg that couldn't be warmed even after years. Anyone who approached him ended up shivering.

Peng Xiuzhen was three years older than him, lively and spirited. Her father doted on her, her mother adored her, her uncles cherished her, and her grandmother loved her. Born under a lucky star, she was destined to bring prosperity to her family.

She was like a radiant golden sun hanging overhead, casting her dazzling light on him year after year, melting the millennium-old ice that was his heart.

It turned out the iceberg could melt after all. It was the person shining on it who had never once given up.

His father told him, “There'd be no you without Zhenzhen, so you were born to protect her!”

And so he protected her for the rest of his life.

Liking someone is falling for them in an instant; love is an obsession that lasts a lifetime!

Before they married, the heir was annoyed that his future wife kept following him around: “Peng Xiuzhen, don't you have anything else to do?”

After they married, he was annoyed that she no longer followed him around: “My dear wife, what could possibly matter more than me?”

Core theme: protecting the homeland and bringing peace to the realm is no mere empty talk!
