Wishing You Well

[Political intrigue, romance at the heart of the story, lighthearted, mutual healing, a touch of ensemble cast] [The male lead has a secret identity, unrequited love, the second male lead is unhinged]

Jiang Yansi, the Marquis's legitimate daughter, loves the breeze and bright moon, sunrise and sunset, rivers and mountains, and all things beautiful and illusory. But no outsider knows this. To the world, she is a gentle, generous, clever, and levelheaded young lady who always puts the Marquis's household first.

Jiang Yansi has three close friends. One of them has been betrothed to her since childhood. The three often sneak out together to admire mountain mists, sunsets, and moonrises with her. Then, when Jiang Yansi was fifteen, in the second year of the new emperor's reign, her engagement was broken off.

At seventeen, Jiang Yansi met Zhu Suhua, a gentle man as bright and clear as the moon. He was the son of a duke, exceptionally well-read, but uninterested in court life.

Before he met Jiang Yansi, he had seen her three times.

Afterward, he spent ten years longing for her.

When Zhu Suhua turned eighteen, the wheel of fate began to turn.

He seized every opportunity to draw closer to her, step by step, only to be rejected time and again.

In the end, after all the twists and turns, all he received was one gentle yet cruel sentence from her.

“Zhu Suhua, every memory we share is a lie.”

She was grief-stricken and broken; his heart ached as if it had been torn apart.

Content warning: The romance between the leads develops very slowly. The early part is relatively lighthearted, but the later part gets angsty.
