I recently found this community and cannot wait to hear what moments live rent free in your head. Here is my list. ( in no particular order)

1. ML saves her from drowning in the book and the description goes like , he uses her ribbon to blind fold himself before removing her wet clothes and then cradles her carefully in his bare chest even when it is biting cold. While doing this extremely romantic / propriety / loving action he still thinks to himself, why does he care if this person dies. What’s beautiful is that his heart is making him do these things while his brain is still not reconciled to loving a butchers daughter.
2. The breakup scene: 😭 same thing, he tells us that he will never see her again and asks her to never tell him if she marries someone else. But he tends to her wounds, tells her to be careful and then Kisses her while crying. Heart and brain conflict. Later he always completely becomes infuriated when Gongsun tells him Zheng Linshan is getting close to her. In this scene his countenance is calm but his blood is boiling.
3. All the tension between them while they are broken up. When she is injured after battle of Lu City and he rushes to see her but doesn’t say a word but is so sad to see that her eyes are injured. He realises at this point that nothing else matters , she needs to be alive that’s it. Like no revenge, no battles and politics and decreees like nothing matters. This complete devotion to the well being of one person is such a human thing, many of us must have felt it at some point in our lives.
4. All the intimate scenes , I mean sweet lord! The series had one bath tub scene and the book had like 10. Anyone not having read the book has missed out. There is one scene where she is angry at him being mischievous but then he tells her he might not return back from the capital and then she changes mood and gets extremely worried. The description of her spraying on his chest and he not being able to control himself is so beautifully written. Like they are married , he loves her but wouldn’t dishonor her by sleeping with her. ( he is not able to control himself completely) but every intimate scene has been described in a way where not everything is being said but still the reader can understand it.
5. The jealousy moments were also part funny and part intense. Like they are married, have gone through life and death together but he gets jealous over some book. Gets jealous of Song Yan in Lian where he knows he is the Marquis but still is jealous of some scholar. I mean common dude! It’s cute we get it but it’s so unreasonable. 😁
6. The jealous kiss scene in the series have been portrayed so well. Both are saying they would like someone else but getting so jealous hearing the other out. Zhang Linghes expression were immaculate, he is smirking getting angry. Uff 🤒
7. And lastly the fight scene, I can’t count how many fans I have met of this scene on Instagram. It is a fight scene but it is actually a ‘let’s make up scene’. He is training her but being so protective, not letting her fall. Giving her a one hand advantage.

And…. There a lot more things that has made me read this book 4 times now.
Would love love love to read your best moments.

I know for fans this might be a bit controversial. I have been reading the book and Li Huan hits on her, another general Zheng Lishan or something likes her , in the series the butcher squad leader kinda likes her too.
While our lovely Changyu is so brave and attractive but I can’t help but wonder if every man was drooling over her coz they were in a battle and woman starved 😁. Can’t trust men you know! What do you think 🤔
