Returning with accolades after securing victory for his empire, Great General Ning Wei is faced with the arduous task of dealing with the imperial court and its petty schemes. As frustration over his situation mounts, the prestigious Yan household offers an unexpectedly favorable alliance.... more>>

Ning Wei finds himself intrigued by the young head of his newly-allied household, Yan Yixuan. But Yan Yixuan’s words seem to have hidden meanings and his behavior with Ning Wei too indulgent for an ally. After schemes are concocted and hurdles passed, will the great general finally find the answers he seeks from the one who waylaid him?
____________

While establishing the pact between their households—

Yan Yixuan: I will protect and support your household for you. Any injustice done unto you will be as if done unto me, and any favors you owe will now be mine to repay. Do you agree that you will show me the same regard?

Ning Wei: ……

Why does it sound like a marriage vow?! No, he's thinking too much.

Ning Wei: Yes, I agree.

Yan Yixuan smiles brilliantly as if having obtained something priceless.

Ning Wei, inwardly: Why do I feel like I just signed over my soul? I must be imagining things again…

Yan Yixuan, inwardly: I can finally be close to my Ah-Ning! Let’s see who will dare to bully him now.

The other court officials: We don’t dare, we don’t dare!

Soon, the entire capital is flooded with the news of their flamboyant courting (the oblivious Ning Wei: Our flamboyant what?!) and then blinded with their shameless displays of affection (the smitten Ning Wei: I’ve been corrupted by a certain irresistible little fox).

The bullied officials: If that demon of a duke told us his intentions earlier, would we have offended the general?! Great General, forgive our insolence!

Ning Wei, looks at his lover: Did you do something for me behind my back again?

Yan Yixuan: *smiles innocently*

Ning Wei, chuckles and rubs his head affectionately: Cheeky little fox. <<less

〈Hello, Handsome Stranger!〉... more>>

Your voice is 〈A Whisper in the Night〉, your 〈Sweet Fragrance〉 a memory I am unable to forget. You are my good 〈Brother〉, my 〈Study Companion〉, my 〈Safe Haven〉, 〈Heaven‘s Gift〉 to me.

Maybe it was 〈Love at Second Sight〉 that brought us together. 〈The Next Natural Step〉 would be our 〈Two Confessions〉 and to 〈Make It Legal〉 at last. From the 〈First Time〉 we met, to our 〈Anniversary〉 or to our 〈Wedding Night〉, I want to 〈Treasure Every Day〉 with you and tell you 〈Welcome Home〉 when you return in the evening.

〈A Bowl of Rice〉 and 〈Ten Pieces of Gold〉 are the same to me as long as they‘re shared with you. I want to go through the 〈Good Times〉 and the bad times with you. I 〈Dare〉 you to 〈Fight for It〉 if we are ever about to lose hope. It‘s just like an 〈Adventure〉 that the two of us will only be able to pass together.

If you have to 〈Walk Alone〉 for a stretch of this path, then I will be 〈Waiting for You〉 at the finish line whether it‘s for 〈Five Days〉 or 〈Twenty-five Years〉, not caring if we move 〈Into a Palace〉 or live in a 〈Lonely Hut〉. I would only be 〈Brokenhearted〉 if you weren‘t with me at the end.

So please, 〈Promise Yourself to Me〉 because among all the men of this world, I am unable to choose anyone but you.
