Spring Returns to Jiangnan

(Both leads are each other's one and only / sweet romance / no transmigration or rebirth) When she first saw him, he wore a ginger-red fox-fur cloak. His features were half-lit and half-hidden in the deep darkness of night, and he was peerlessly handsome. Though he seemed drunk, he moved with the carefree, spirited grace unique to a young man.

At the time, she was merely a distant relative who had come to seek shelter in the manor, adrift like duckweed and as insignificant as a blade of grass.

Her father regarded her coldly, her stepmother was cruel, and she was trapped in a quagmire. Everyone watched from the sidelines, keeping themselves out of it.

The world was harsh, and people judged relationships by status.

With no one to rely on, she had no choice but to scheme and plan, hoping to secure a corner of her own where she could spend the rest of her life, even if that meant living in simple robes beside a statue of Buddha, surrounded by the chanting of monks.

But just when everything seemed settled, she discovered an even greater conspiracy behind it all.

A storm was gathering, and schemes and shifting powers wove a vast web. Heaven's net may be vast, but no one can slip through it.

Beside her, the graceful man slipped an arm around her waist and said with a laugh, "This web involves too many people. You can't escape it alone."

Only by joining forces could they break free of the trap.
