The Cold Commander's Beloved

In the winter of 1972, Su Tang was forced to marry into the Lu family in someone else's place.

The Lu family's third son, Lu Yanhan, was a cold-faced officer known far and wide. Rumor had it he was born with the fate of a Buddha's disciple: hard to kill, a curse to his family, and destined to have no children. Even the Bodhisattva couldn't dispel his baleful aura.

Everyone said that if Su Tang married him, she would either live as a widow or be cursed to death.

But no one knew that Lu Yanhan wasn't uninterested in women. He simply had an old wound in his heart, and in his dreams, a girl in a white dress always stood between him and a bullet on a snowy night.

On Su Tang's first night in the Lu household, he warned her coldly, "Don't touch me, don't get your hopes up, and don't ask about the past."

Later, when Su Tang was bullied, he stood up for her. When she fell ill, he braved the snow in the middle of the night to fetch a doctor. When people spread rumors about her, he took her hand in front of everyone.

Later still, someone asked him, "Third Master Lu, didn't you say a Buddha's disciple couldn't have children or get close to women?"

Lu Yanhan cradled the little bundle in his arms and replied with a cool, impassive face, "Buddha saves all living things. I save her."
