As a child, Jiang Xi was sensitive and fragile. She only wanted to hide inside her shell and avoid drawing anyone's attention.
Then Shen Qianjun appeared. He was so different from her, every bit the gentleman his name suggested: modest, refined, and gentle.
He treated Jiang Xi well and gave her a reason to keep living. But she knew his kindness was only temporary charity, offered because of the role he was supposed to play in her life.
His eyes were always fixed on her older sister. If not for Jiang You, he might never have noticed her at all.
But so what? Shen Qianjun was a reflection of the moon on water, something she could never grasp. She had never dared to dream of being with him, either.
To Jiang Xi, Shen Qianjun was the moon, hanging high above the southern branches, beyond her reach. How could she dare to dream?
