Gu Nianyi was born in a poor mountain village. When she was two, her father took her mother to seek medical help, and they both died on the way.
Later, a few blossoms of wealth arrived in the impoverished mountain hollow where Gu Nianyi lived.
The unruly young master was sent to oversee construction in a remote valley with no phone signal, a punishment for his rebellious ways. His iron-willed grandfather laid down the law: he could return to the capital only once the donated school was finished.
Jiang Zeyu thought he would spend the entire summer stuck in that valley, slowly growing mold, sprouting poisonous mushrooms, and eventually poisoning himself to death.
He never expected to find a resilient blue plumbago there. If he watered it just a little, it would do everything it could to bloom.
The blue star-shaped flowers gave off a faint fragrance, dispelling the summer heat and soothing the restlessness in Jiang Zeyu’s heart.
Gu Nianyi had always thought that, having lost both parents as a child and grown up in poverty, she had little to look forward to in life.
Then Jiang Zeyu arrived. He took her away from that cruel place, the heir to a top medical family personally treated her illness, and the stern young man who had grown up in the military put aside his principles for her, even training a personal guard to protect her...
She discovered that the brilliant, quiet boy her age was someone who understood her.
She had thought she was like the little match girl in a fairy tale, with every lovely thing in life passing her by like a fleeting dream.
Only when an old friend of her mother’s appeared and the mystery surrounding her identity was cleared away did she learn that fate really could be as dramatic as a story.
[Please note: This is a lighthearted, everyone-dotes-on-the-heroine story, with very little romance between the leads.]
