[COMPLETED] (Warning! Not my story. For Offline purposes. Cttro.) Original Title: 白日提灯 Author: Li Qing Ran Raw Link: Bai Ri Ti Deng Male Lead: Chen Fei Yu Female Lead: Dilraba Dilmurat He Simu had a habit of picking up people to eat on the battlefield, but unexpectedly, she was the one who got picked up. The young general who took her in seemed to regard her as a war orphan, a fragile woman, and cared for her attentively. He Simu thus diligently played the role of a weak maiden: "Oh my! Blood! I'm terrified of blood. I faint at the sight of it!" "This water basin is so heavy, and my strength is so limited, I simply cannot carry it!" "You all spend your days fighting and killing, how frightening!" The female warrior who secretly loved the young general fumed: "Brother Duan would never like a dripping-with-delicacy girl like you!" He Simu tilted her head: "Is that so?" One day, the young general stumbled on the battlefield when his horse lost its footing and was ambushed. The supposedly weak He Simu-who couldn't lift a finger and fainted at the sight of blood-loosened her muscles and joints, and lit a ghost lantern: "Let me see who dares to bully our General Duan, little fox Duan?" Duan Xu reflected that he should never have provoked the Ghost King. It took him several months to learn that her real name was He Simu. But perhaps in his entire lifetime, he would never be able to make her remember his name during her four hundred years of existence. "My name is Duan Xu, with the 'Xu' from 'Feng Lang Ju Xu' (the title bestowed upon generals who defeated northern tribes)."

**PREVIEW ONLY** Dr. Indiana "Indie" Miller never believed in fairy tales. How could she? Everything she ever accomplished was paid for in blood, sweat, and will. Emancipated at sixteen, she put herself through medical school while juggling three jobs, and built a life around one simple truth - that no one was coming to save her. Then her favorite patient introduces Indie to her grandson. And Teddy Williams is everything Indie never dared to dream of. Kind, steadfast, and completely devoted to her. He's the kind of man who notices the little things and looks at her like she's the only woman in the world. There's only one problem. Teddy's overbearing mother hates her. Thankfully, Nana Ellie is there to shield Indie from the worst of it, and despite the tension, Teddy and Indie fall deeper and deeper in love. Two years later, they're on the verge of forever and preparing to move to New Jersey for Indie's dream job at Bluewater Cancer Center. But when Nana Ellie dies, the woman who loved Indie like family is gone. Teddy's mother, Dawn, has spent his entire life making herself the center of it, and she has no intention of letting Indie take her place. Every mispronounced name, every crossed boundary, every cruel little comment is designed to prove one thing - Indie does not belong with him. As the pressure builds and the disrespect becomes impossible to ignore, Teddy finds himself caught between the family he was raised to put first and the woman he loves more than anything. He chooses wrong. And he loses Indie. Without her, Teddy is forced to face the truth of his choices. That his mother's love was never love at all, it was guilt, control, and enmeshment. And if he wants any chance of winning Indie back, he'll have to do more than apologize - he'll have to become the man she deserved all along. Because Indie Miller is done waiting for a fairy tale. This time, she's going to make one for herself.
