Chapter 3

While helping the villagers, Lin Yue met a young hunter named Zhao Yu. Tall and strong, with a handsome face and determined eyes, Zhao Yu admired Lin Yue for her efforts to assist the village despite being a lone woman in an unfamiliar place.

Zhao Yu often helped Lin Yue, and the two spent a lot of time together, discussing ways to improve the villagers’ lives. Lin Yue’s modern ideas and unique perspectives fascinated Zhao Yu, while Zhao Yu’s bravery and kindness deeply moved Lin Yue. Gradually, a special bond began to form between them.

One day, Zhao Yu took Lin Yue to a mountain behind the village. The scenery was breathtaking, with wildflowers blooming all around. Summoning his courage, Zhao Yu confessed, “Yue’er, from the moment I met you, my heart has been drawn to you. You are intelligent and kind, unlike any woman I’ve ever known. I want to protect you—will you be my wife?”

Looking into Zhao Yu’s sincere eyes, Lin Yue was deeply touched. She gently nodded in agreement.

However, their path to love was not without obstacles. Some villagers were wary of Lin Yue, viewing her as an outsider with an unknown background. They feared she might bring misfortune to the village and began to gossip about her, with some even going out of their way to make things difficult for her. But Lin Yue and Zhao Yu stood firm, supporting each other through these challenges.

As time passed, Lin Yue gradually adapted to ancient life. She became stronger, learning how to navigate the complex social dynamics of the village while protecting herself. She knew that if she wanted a happy life with Zhao Yu in this world, there was still a long journey ahead.
