Description
In order to marry a good husband, Liu Yuru had been a model lady for 15 years; but on the eve of her engagement, she was forced to marry Gu Jiusi, a well-known playboy from Yangzhou. To marry such a person was to ruin one’s life. Especially because after marriage, she learned that this person was also forced to marry her. Liu Yuru was heartbroken, and after locking herself in the room for three days, she came to a realization. Marrying such a dandy, why should she remain a perfect young lady? So on the third day of marriage, the famously gentle lady shook her hands, carried a knife, and used all her courage to go to the brothel. To the drunken Gu Jiusi, she said – Get up! After that, Gu Jiusi’s life was full of ups and downs. Whether he was a miserable dandy or a great official, this woman stood beside him. She supported him with her weak and delicate body, and told him, “get up.” So even if he was cut to pieces, he would struggle from the mud, grit his teeth, carry her on his back, and walk through this life. For the first 15 years of Liu Yuru’s life, she thought she was living only to find a good man. It wasn’t until she met Gu Jiusi that she understood that a good man would help you realize that you live only for yourself. — May this body of flesh and blood shield her from the wind and rain, protect her dress from dust, and protect her temples from frost.

My Thoughts on Long Wind Crossing
"Long Wind Crossing" promised a journey, and what a journey it turned out to be. With a blend of drama, romance, and a healthy dose of political intrigue set in ancient China, I was eager to dive in. The tags alone – arranged marriage, bickering couple, business management – hinted at a complex and engaging story, and for the most part, it delivered.
First Impressions
Initially, I went in expecting a lighthearted romantic comedy. The premise of an unloved merchant's daughter forced into marriage with the spoiled son of a wealthy family sounded like a recipe for some humorous misunderstandings. However, I quickly discovered that the story had much deeper layers. War, political turmoil, and personal growth soon took center stage, transforming my expectations into something far more compelling.
What Works Well
The character development is, without a doubt, the strongest aspect of this novel. Witnessing Gu Jiusi and Liu Yuru evolve from reluctant spouses to a formidable team, supporting each other through immense hardship, was truly captivating. Their relationship blossoms from a forced arrangement into a deep, unwavering bond built on trust and mutual respect. I particularly appreciated how the author portrayed their individual strengths and weaknesses, making them feel remarkably human.
Many readers, myself included, loved the slow-burn romance and the "enemies to friends to lovers" trope. The fact that their friendship and loyalty were so deeply established before romantic feelings surfaced made the eventual love story all the more meaningful. The political plot was also well-developed, adding depth and complexity to the narrative.
Areas of Concern
While I thoroughly enjoyed "Long Wind Crossing," I did notice a few areas that could be improved. Some felt that the parents were forgotten after the initial arc, and there were some minor pacing issues towards the end. Also, while the majority of the characters were complex and well-developed, a few felt more like plot devices than fully realized individuals.

Final Verdict
Despite a few minor drawbacks, "Long Wind Crossing" is a truly remarkable novel. The strong character development, compelling plot, and heartwarming romance make it a worthwhile read. If you're looking for a story that will make you laugh, cry, and ultimately leave you feeling hopeful, I highly recommend giving this one a try. I'm certainly looking forward to seeing how the drama adaptation brings this story to life.
