Huo Xiang had lived for fifteen years, always believing she was the pampered, haughty little peacock of the Huo family.
She was the apple of her parents’ eyes and her sister’s darling.
When she was thirteen, her parents arranged what was considered the best match in Chuzhou City for her.
The day the Qi family came to visit, Huo Xiang and her older sister, Huo Yiyi, hid behind the front hall’s side room and eavesdropped on the adults.
Though Huo Xiang felt a faint pang of disappointment, she was also happy for Huo Yiyi.
They had been close to Qi Wanyi since childhood.
Her sister liked Qi Wanyi, too.
She knew it, and understood perfectly well that she could never compare with Huo Yiyi.
The Huo family was a humble household in Chuzhou, but Huo Yiyi was renowned throughout the city for her exceptional talent.
Her match with the young master of the Qi family was the union everyone hoped for, a match seemingly decreed by heaven.
But no one could have imagined...
It's very pretty, not like a slap in the face like running water. The story progresses step by step without any abruptness. The relationship between the male and female protagonists is also very good. When I think of the male protagonist taking the female protagonist's jade pendant and brazenly saying to the female protagonist, I will treat it as a token of love you gave me, haha 💕
