Spring Night's Embrace

When they were young, Yan Huinan was a spoiled, domineering, and somewhat incompetent scion. But his father was the formidable Marquis Dingbei, who commanded the four seas, and his mother was a beloved princess. Born into immense wealth, he was the quintessential precious young master. No one dared to offend Yan Huinan, whose prominence even overshadowed that of the imperial princes.

However, it was widely known that the person in the capital most untouchable was Xie Yun, because she was the apple of Yan Huinan's eye. The young tyrant would gladly offer her his very heart and soul. Yet, this same boy, who would cause a city-wide uproar if Xie Yun so much as grazed her knee, had his family ruined by the Xie clan. He then plunged into a sea of blood and corpses, taking up a blade to avenge his family and slay his mortal enemies.

Years later, when Xie Yun encountered Yan Huinan again, he had transformed into a battle-hardened, cold, and ruthless young general. Meanwhile, she was fleeing an arranged marriage, pursued by her fiancé's soldiers. In the rainy night, Yan Huinan sat calmly on horseback, using his icy long spear to lift her chin. The blade cut her delicate skin, and crimson blood trickled down Xie Yun's neck.

Yan Huinan sneered, his eyes full of mockery: "It seems old acquaintances meet again." Xie Yun knew that falling into Yan Huinan's hands would mean a gruesome end. After all, he must hate her to death. But later, Yan Huinan not only didn't let her die, he even married her as his legal wife, making her the most esteemed person once more, granting her all due respect, but deliberately withholding his love.

It wasn't until Xie Yun saw the marriage contract they had written in their youth. It was only a casual scribble she made when annoyed by Yan Huinan, yet he had carefully cherished it alongside his deceased mother's keepsakes. The paper was wrinkled, showing how many times it had been folded and caressed.

Xie Yun asked him, "Yan Huinan, are you a masochist?" Yan Huinan stubbornly replied, "Whatever you say I am, that's what I am."
