Longing in Spring

[Cool and elegant Kunqu opera beauty VS self-disciplined, courteous heir from a prominent family, a mature and dependable man] [Marriage before love + male second lead becomes the love interest + age gap + secret crush + sweet romance + mutual devotion + both sexually inexperienced + two-way pursuit + healing] The day Mu Jinghe cheated on her, she resolved to break off their engagement without hesitation. To uncover the truth behind the fire fifteen years ago, she discovered that Fu Tingchen was investigating it too. She approached him, only to uncover an unexpected truth. They agreed to work together and marry. He followed every traditional marriage rite, welcoming her into his home in a phoenix coronet and red bridal robes. "It's not a white magnolia." "It has a more unusual name: smiling deep in the mountains." The man spoke slowly. On that spring night, magnolia blossoms fluttered down around them. She turned back. He stood tall and straight, his brows and eyes calm, his presence softened by the passage of time. She answered him, "Deep in the mountains, with flowers falling in solitude, and peaceful years passing by." That was how she wanted to spend her life: in peace and quiet. "Brother, when will you come for Wanwan?" "When the first rain falls, and the first magnolia blooms at Jiayin Temple, I'll come and take you home." At nine years old, on Qingchen Mountain, she held up a lantern and looked back again and again. The crowd surged around her, and she couldn't make out his face. The misty rain over the green mountains remained unforgettable to her. For years, he had burned incense before the Buddha, praying for her safety. She was trapped in his mist-shrouded green mountain, unable to escape.
