A dazzling, bold heroine × a humble, obsessive puppy-like man
[One man and one woman, devoted only to each other, happy ending]
[Reunion after years apart + long-laid plans + contract marriage + humble pursuit of love]
The first time he saw her was the darkest day of his life. The spoiled, innocent little princess barged into his world without warning, softly calling him Brother Heng. She was as delicate as a glass doll that might shatter at a touch. That day, he saw his light. From that moment on, he knew that some feelings were impossible to take back from the very beginning.
The second time he saw her, she was still young, but everyone knew the Song family had a princess as beautiful as a celestial being. She had been cherished from childhood, treated as if she might break if dropped or melt if held in one's mouth. Everyone said she was the most dazzling rose in the entire imperial capital. But that day, the beautiful, fragile glass doll truly shattered, her brilliant fragments scattered across the ground. She was broken beyond repair. The lofty rose was trampled into the dirt.
The third time he saw her, she wore a red dress, every glance and smile brimming with allure, yet shadowed by a secret danger. The rose had pushed its way up through the mud and bloomed in the dark. Her coldness and aloofness made her hard to approach. All he could do was stand outside the high wall she had built, cautiously testing the waters and edging closer. He loved her with everything he had. It was the last of his courage. He wagered it all, just for her to turn and look at him. Fortunately, he won.
Later, with his most sincere and wholehearted love, he nurtured the boldest, most passionate rose. He held her in his palm and gathered her into his arms. Even covered in wounds, he would never let go.
But he didn't know that if she hadn't been willing, how could he ever have held on to her?
