[Campus + stand-in + winning her back + ensemble cast]
[Violin prodigy and heiress of a wealthy family VS the young master who seems like a playboy but is really a devoted romantic]
Everyone in Kyoto knows that the eldest daughter of the Yu family spoils her husband rotten, always following after him to clean up his messes. The most unbelievable part is that he’s just some nobody with no status!
The nobody and his friends all take Yu Lin for a fool and never care about her feelings.
Everyone around them gossips, but the two people involved act like mere spectators. After spending time with Yu Lin on a whim, Li Lu goes from not caring at all to gradually developing feelings for her, with emotions that rise and fall. He loves that she cares for him and looks after him, and that she’s obedient and beautiful. He resents that she never gets jealous when he’s close to other girls.
He had thought Yu Lin was just a pretty face, a spineless pushover anyone could manipulate. Most of the time, she really did seem gentle and unconcerned. But when someone said his eyes weren’t attractive, she argued passionately that his eyes were the most beautiful, incomparable to anything else in the world.
She traced his features carefully, but his eyes no longer held the passionate love they once had.
Disgusted by his family’s backstabbing and unwilling to become a pawn of power, Li Lu voluntarily withdrew from the race to become heir and went to live with his maternal aunt’s family. He was a genuine wastrel in every sense of the word.
When he learned he was a stand-in, anger mixed with resentment, and he sank into a period of depression.
“Ah Yu, how could I ever measure up to him?”
