[Woman disguised as a man, always hiding her secret identity: Xu Chen'an ♡ two-faced | Plays a white-lotus villain every day: Lu Yu]
“Come to my place.”
Lu Yu lowered his eyes and delivered his verdict.
“My place is so poor it echoes, and there's no food...”
Xu Chen'an didn't want someone she'd known for only a few days coming home with her, especially not a man.
She tried to brush him off. “I'm just a little hooligan. I don't have any money, so don't try to latch on to me.”
“I won't latch on to you,” Lu Yu said.
“I still owe people money, and they come to collect every few days. Careful, or I'll sell you off.”
Xu Chen'an threatened him.
Lu Yu replied thoughtfully, “You can't sell me.”
She laughed in disbelief and pointed at him. “Why not? Someone like you could be the top courtesan at a pleasure house, for all I know.”
Lu Yu didn't get angry. He bent down and gazed at her, captivated. Her obsidian eyes shone like stars, reflecting every movement. He thought that eyes so beautiful shouldn't be allowed to fall under anyone else's gaze. He should hide them away, so they belonged to him alone.
[A few notes before reading:
1. This is primarily a farming-life story, though it touches on a few other genres as well.
2. The two leads are each other's only partners. Their relationship is wholesome and pure.
3. It's an older-woman-younger-man romance. The heroine is two years older than the hero.
4. The heroine isn't a white lotus. She's clever and focused on building a career. The hero isn't a savior, either: he can be ruthless when necessary.
5. I'll add more if anything else comes to mind.]
