You'd think that, in their marriage, Lu Yusheng would be the voice of reason against Zhang Bao's brash and hot headed personality. But…actually, the two were very similar.

Yes, Lu Yusheng was very good at scolding Zhang Bao for getting himself into trouble, but that was just as a worried wife. Hey, he scolded her, too, for the very same thing.


The two were very brash, usually running into danger. If they were on the same battlefield, the two were always in the front line, ready to fight whoever came at them. Hell, when the two worked together, they were a force to be reckoned with (especially since Bao worked very hard to protect Yusheng).


Both of them were protective of each other…if one was in danger, you just knew the other would be close by ready to jump in harm's way if it came to it. And they'd be happy to die for the other, even if the other would hate thinking of such a thing…


Funnily enough, both had quite large appetites. But the difference was that at least Lu Yusheng could eat politely…Bao just stuffed his face. That was something he probably got off his father, sadly. Even Lu Yusheng stopped finding him attractive when he sat down to eat, watching himself and his father shoving meat down their faces. She was happily sat with Xingcai, just pretending it didn't exist (and nobody believed Xingcai was related to Bao with how little she was like their father…). It was almost funny…almost. But that didn't stop Lu Yusheng eating about ten times her body weight in food. Zhang Bao often wondered where she put it all…there was rarely much fat on her (he could pinch a decent amount of stomach, much to his own amusement, but that usually ended with her beating him up).


Neither one of them cared much about their appearances. Both looked rough. Yusheng even had some bits of war paint on her cheeks and actually had tribal tattoos on her shoulders. But, together, the two did look pretty strange…they weren't really a match. But that's what they seemed to love about each other.

Bao loved that Yusheng understood how he acted. She understood his need to be strong, if just to protect her. And she loved how he would do anything to protect her. How he understood everything she wanted from herself and more.


The two thought of themselves as a wonderful match, even with how strange the pair was…Zhang Fei definitely seemed proud of his son's wife (and he did wonder what kind of husband Xingcai would come out with…).


"Bao~! Hey, Bao~?"

"Oh! I'm over here!"

Yusheng looked around to see her husband waving at her from the castle garden, a grin on his face.

"What are you doing over here?"

"I was training. What else?"

"Of course, of course…"

She didn't expect anything less out of him. He enjoyed training and sparing, much more than she did…if they had one difference, it was that Yusheng was a lot lazier than Bao. While he was out training, she was usually laying in a field of grass somewhere (that's where he normally found her, anyway).

"Well, I came to find you, anyway."

"Oh? Is something bothering you?"

"Not really. I just wanted to go into town. I wondered if you'd want to come with me. It's fine if you don't."

"Hmm…it sounds fun enough. As long as we can get some food."

"Well, obviously. When don't we get food from town? They sell the best stuff there…"

Her stomach practically rumbled just thinking about it, making her husband laugh. Though she blushed heavily when she felt him take her hand, his own face quite red.

"We should get going, then! Hey, if we don't go soon, everything on the markets will be sold! Come on!"

She didn't even get to argue, getting dragged out of the garden.


The two of them were way too similar at times. No difference they had could ever be seen very well when the two practically thought the same every five seconds.

That's probably what made them go so well together. They had small differences, but they were very similar in almost every way.
