The young lady was frail yet adorable, caring and meticulous towards him. Her soft cries were gentle, and when she was bullied, she would only silently shed large tears.
Xie Yi: ...
Xie Yi threw back the covers. Fine, it's not a big deal to fight for it one more time. This is a story of love after marriage, a simple everyday romance. It's set in a fictional historical world, so please don't overanalyze historical accuracy.
