Both are pure in body and heart. Strong hero, strong heroine, and a doting romance with no angst.
Chu Xinuan is the power behind the Chu family. Born with a weak heart, she feels neither joy nor sorrow.
Chu Xinuan is an unloved and persecuted princess of Chu, born with nothing to rely on, insignificant and humble.
One day, she is reborn and transmigrates into the body of the girl who was cast aside. She becomes the beloved daughter of the Yin family estate, with a soul yearning for freedom inside her young body.
Ling Juncold is the heir left behind by the Marquis Ling’s household. After his parents are brutally murdered, he carries a deep-seated hatred from childhood.
When they meet, he is cold as ice, but she is warm and serene. He would overturn the world for her without hesitation, and she would give up her freedom for him without regret.
Scene one: One day, the male lead domineeringly grabs the female lead as she’s about to leave and asks unhappily, “Nuannuan, where are you going?”
The female lead looks helpless. “Do you have to cling to me like this? I’m just going to the bathroom.”
“Together! I used to go with you when you were little!” he says, following her without a care for the dark look on someone’s face.
Scene two: “Nuannuan, everyone says I’m an old ox eating young grass!” the male lead complains one day, holding the female lead.
Half asleep, the female lead replies, “You are an old ox eating young grass!”
The male lead grins wickedly and kisses her. “I’m the only one allowed to eat this tender grass!”
Scene three: Madam Yin says, “Juncold, we can’t bear to let our Nuannuan marry and leave us!”
“I’ll marry into your family!” the male lead replies without hesitation.
The head of the Yin family says, “Juncold, our Nuannuan can’t endure hardship!”
“I’ll cherish her all her life. She’ll be the only one for me. If she says east, I’ll never say west! I’ll give her whatever she wants, and if I don’t have it, I’ll take it for her!” the male lead declares firmly.
“Brother Ling...” says the eldest son of the Yin family.
“Get lost. Don’t think I don’t know you’ve got your eye on my Nuannuan!” the male lead says, radiating domineering confidence.
Scene four: Seeing the little dumpling curled up in his wife’s arms, the male lead grows displeased. His position is under serious threat.
“Nuannuan, the child’s grown up. It’s time he learned to be independent!” The male lead plucks the little dumpling from the female lead’s arms.
“Ling Juncold, can you stop being so childish? Our son is only a few months old!” The female lead tenderly takes the little dumpling back.
When the little dumpling turns five, the male lead sternly takes him into the study. “Son, you’re five now. You shouldn’t cling to your mother anymore. I’m sending you away to study under a master!”
“Mother!” the little dumpling cries in a babyish voice, pouting.
The female lead rushes into the study and snaps at the male lead, “Ling Juncold, if you try to send our son away again, I’ll leave home with him!”
The male lead hurries over to appease her, shooting the little dumpling a glare as well. “Nuannuan, don’t be angry. I promise I won’t do it again!”
“Sleep in the study tonight!” The female lead leaves with the little dumpling in her arms, leaving the male lead alone to stew in jealousy.
