Synopsis

Lu Qinyi and Fei Li stood on opposite sides of the war, destined to be enemies and nothing more. However, things get complicated after Fei Li is ambushed, sustaining a significant head injury that renders him temporarily amnesiac.

Lu Qinyi had only intended to hold the enemy general hostage to buy his army some time. But he got more than he bargained for when the mental state of the confused and injured Fei Li is far worse than predicted and he becomes the only one capable of treating him.
Fei Li however finds himself at the mercy of the enemy but he is surprisingly treated rather un-enemy-like. Despite this, he often felt it would have been better if they never met at all, remaining enemies who were perfect strangers.

"I can answer you but it's up to you whether you believe the answer," Lu Qinyi replied mysteriously, earning an annoyed glare from the other for faffing around. "It's because I respect and admire you, General Fei."

Fei Li was stunned, rendered speechless. Of all the answers he had thought the other might give, this wasn't one of them. His brows slowly furrowed together, a frown forming on his face. "You're right. I don't believe you."

The atmosphere was so light and pleasant, you could almost forget the impending war that lay just beyond the snow. But he knew it was only time until that blanket of innocently white snow melted away to reveal the bloodstains beneath.

Fei Li: "Let me go."
Lu Qinyi: "I'll think about it."

Later
Lu Qinyi: "Just let me go..."
Fei Li: "...I cant."

Warnings: Violence and blood, because that's always the answer. Suicide, but that's never the answer. The slowest of slow burn romances.
Inaccurate and only loosely ancient china based setting. Some of the things or words I use may be wrong. Feel free to reach out to me if there's anything that's a bother and I'll see about adjusting.
