[One-on-one romance] [Powerful families]
An age-gap romance, sweet for both leads, with a coming-of-age feel
The heroine is cute and mischievous. What she went through earlier hasn’t made her sensitive; she’s good at letting the past stay in the past. At first, the hero worries she might be traumatized, but she’s cheerful every day. It’s just that her body hasn’t fully recovered yet.
Before meeting Lu Liyan, Cheng Xiannan thought life was simply like this. She didn’t even know what it meant to live. In a sunless laboratory, she was tormented and used as an ingredient in experiments.
She existed for the experiments from the moment she was born. No one cared whether she lived or died.
At an international gala, people see the newly appointed head of the Lu family leading a little girl who looks like a princess by the hand. When someone asks, the Lu family’s Madam says she is his younger sister. Only Lu Liyan remains silent.
“Be my princess, my princess alone. I’ll be your knight. No one protects you, and even the gods won’t watch over you, so I will. I’ll be your god.”, Lu Liyan
“When you realize even Heaven won’t favor you, and the very center of the scales is tipped against you, all you can do is give up and wait for death. But then someone says he’ll be your god, the weight that balances the scales, your knight. I never knew being a princess could feel so wonderful.”, Cheng Xiannan
This story is set in an alternate version of history.
