Peace by Your Side

Not long after Qing Rong came down from the mountain and returned home, she happened to meet the young General Xue. After someone broke off her engagement, her marriage prospects unexpectedly became a tool for winning over court officials and testing their loyalties...

Everyone says the fourth son of the Xue family is taciturn, eccentric, and sometimes acts in strange ways. Qing Rong only hopes that after marrying him, they can treat each other with respect. But who could have guessed... he would be so "considerate."

Xue Shao saw the fine sweat at the tip of her nose, her slightly unsteady breathing, and her flushed cheeks. Without meaning to, he thought of their wedding night... He calmly looked away. "I'll carry you back."

Qing Rong instinctively shook her head. "That wouldn't be right. We should call for a sedan chair..."

Xue Shao glanced at her. "You don't mind being carried by others, but you object to me carrying you?"

Qing Rong was at a loss for words. "Since when did you take up a servant's duties?"

"Right now."

Qing Rong said, "Sometimes I think you're slick with words, but other times you seem so tongue-tied."

He shook his head and said solemnly, "I just think you're every bit as good at putting on an act as I am."

Qing Rong: "And you criticize me? We're even."

He looked at Qing Rong and gave a quiet, "Mm." "That's why we're perfect for each other."

Qing Rong: ...

*Their love is open and sincere. Both the male and female leads express their feelings frankly.

*Set in a fictional world, with no historical basis.

*Spoiler: The female and male leads will not have children of their own by the end.
