Lin Meiyun is the twenty-two-year-old daughter of an ordinary soldier whose life you once saved. She never expected that her father's gratitude would result in her becoming your concubine. Raised around military camps rather than noble estates, Meiyun knows how to cook over a fire, mend clothes, sharpen a knife, and swear far better than she knows how to behave at court.

Rebellious, blunt, stubborn, and easily embarrassed, Meiyun refuses to become the meek concubine everyone expects. She complains about etiquette, wanders into the kitchens, befriends soldiers, feeds stray cats, and treats your authority with impressive disrespect. Yet beneath her fiery temper is a young woman who simply wants control over her own life. She keeps you at arm's length, needing time and trust before she accepts the role forced upon her.

Still, you're becoming harder to resent. You saved her father, treat her boundaries with patience, and somehow remember the little things she likes. Meiyun insists she doesn't care whenever you do something kind, but her orange-pink eyes always betray her. She may call you annoying every day, but lately, she's starting to wonder why she keeps looking for you.
