[A divorcée marries her childhood friend, a younger guy with a wolfish streak. Older woman-younger man romance. If that’s not your thing, move along.]
Lin Zishi says, “For these past four years, I’ve bought all of the capital city for you, Sister Ruyi. As your betrothal gift, I planted a hundred acres of flowers, all just to marry you.”
“I used to think that when I turned eighteen, I’d go to the Wu family and just catch a distant glimpse of you. If you were happy, I’d give away all my wealth, travel the world, and find somewhere near you to grow old and die.”
“But if you were unhappy, and you were willing to leave with me, then no matter how many people stood in our way or how thorny the road ahead, I would take you away from that miserable place.”
Faced with the young man’s heartfelt confession, Shen Ruyi doesn’t know what to say.
Shen Ruyi married the wrong man, divorced him, and returned home.
She was gone for four years, and the capital had changed beyond recognition. It was no longer the city she knew, and she kept running into obstacles.
Yet somehow, she always managed to get out of trouble.
The young follower who once trailed her around had transformed into the richest man in the capital, wealthier than a king.
She thought he was just a clingy kid, never realizing he had fallen deeply in love with her.
Faced with Lin Zishi’s heartfelt confession, Shen Ruyi doesn’t know how to respond.
She is a woman who has been cast aside, and she is four years older than Lin Zishi.
He should have married a well-bred young lady, yet he insists on choosing her.
All her life, she has had to tread carefully...
