The Starry River, Burning Hot

“Why do you like gardenias?”

“Because of what they symbolize.”

“Then we make quite a pair. I like baby's breath, too.”

“Bai Xingsheng looked at everything so beautiful around her and felt it was all too unreal.”

“Gu Xiaohe gazed at her, affection filling her eyes without her even realizing it.”

This is a fantasy novel with two female leads. The pacing is slow and pays close attention to detail. If you prefer a fast-paced story, this one isn't for you.
