Thinking about how, Xie Zheng's main reason to not get married before Changyu is because he doesn't want what happened to his mother to happen ever again because of him. He always thought what happened to his mother is because she was too weak, not strong enough to continue living without her husband. He believes he'll die in battle sooner than later, so he always knows that he should marry someone strong, someone who will keep being strong even after he's dead. Then here comes Fan Changyu, a freshly orphaned girl who has to suddenly bear the responsibility for her and her sister's lives by herself. Not only that, she also has to:
fight with her own family to keep her house
fight all kinds of rumors about her that are spread to the entire town
fight her ex-fiancé and all his people that are spreading said rumors, and even
fight assassins that want to kill her and her family.
And yet she grits her teeth, roll her sleeves and face it all head on. Her sky has collapse, yet she's still held strong, still laughs freely, still holds what her parents teach her wholeheartedly, and is still so kind in spite of it all. Wtf is he supposed to do??? How could he not fall in love? Xie Zheng literally has no chance.
