I Carry the Long Wind

The ninth-generation successor of Yuanhe Medical Hall, Jiang Mingxue, bears the burden of her family's legacy and has no interest in romance. However, as she gets older, she faces increasing pressure to marry.

One day, a stoic Air Force Colonel, Rong Chengzhou, visits the clinic to pick up medicine for his mother. Jiang Mingxue notices a peculiar ingredient on the prescription: 'Yang Qi Stone' (a traditional ingredient associated with male virility).

She's encountered such prideful patients before and casually glances at his name before fetching the medicine. As the Colonel is about to leave, she impulsively calls out to him: "Mr. Rong, will you marry me?"

Rong Chengzhou, who faces daily danger on the battlefield and doesn't want to delay any woman, has never had a relationship. Even his mother is more anxious about his marital status than he is.

Unexpectedly, at thirty, he gains a wife. She tells him they have one thing in common that makes them suitable for each other, but he's too curious to ask what it is. They decide to get their marriage license on the spot.

Just two days after registering their marriage, he leaves for a new mission and doesn't return for a year.

On their belated wedding night, she doesn't resist. As the night is dark outside the floor-to-ceiling window, her slightly red eyes, misty with moisture, ask in disbelief: "Wait... you can't?"

#Thought he wouldn't be able to, but he's exceptionally gifted.

#— "I really have low libido." #— "I didn't notice." 『I carry the long wind, and elevate you to the blue clouds.』

Awaiting release: A connected story "Cloud", synopsis below:

【5-year age gap | The superior bows | Female prosecutor × Beijing elite influential figure】

Xiang Qing first met Pei Yichen when they were under the eaves of Peking University during the rain. She ducked under his umbrella: "Sir, may I borrow your umbrella to shelter from the rain?"

Pei Yichen glanced at her formal attire and silently permitted her impolite intrusion.

Later, she used this umbrella for four years.

Xiang Qing is not a bad person, but she's not a good person either. She has struggled in the mud for over twenty years, seen wild beasts from several mountains, and lived in dark, dilapidated earth houses. Her only focus has been to climb upwards; no one can make her stay except for her utility value.

The day she left Pei Yichen, she turned around resolutely and frankly told him: "I want to reach the highest position."

Later, her career path was indeed smooth, but her family dragged her back into the mud once more. Pouring rain, she was trapped on the steps by the roadside.

The rain stopped overhead. She looked up to see Pei Yichen, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, approaching with a black umbrella.

He wore a perfectly tailored suit, his shoulders dusted with moisture. The fingertips holding the umbrella handle were pale. For the first time, he'd seen her with red-rimmed eyes.

The man's expression was indifferent, and the umbrella tilted towards her: "This umbrella, I'll lend it to you again."

『Since I personally lifted her to the clouds, how could I let her fall.』
