[Clear-eyed heroine × gentle, devoted hero] [Second male lead's groveling pursuit]
Lu Zhenyue spent a year doting on the blind Gu Huaijin, searching for doctors and remedies and caring for him day and night, until he agreed to marry her. But once his eyesight returned, he got involved with her half-sister.
Since she didn't love him anyway, Lu Zhenyue decided to leave him behind and pursue Xie Chengyan, the handsomest man in the capital, if she wanted to stay alive!
On the first day after she left, Gu Huaijin sneered, “If she doesn't come crawling back, she can forget about entering my marquis's residence.”
On the fifth day, Gu Huaijin scoffed, “She can't live without me. She's just putting on a brave face!”
On the tenth day, Gu Huaijin shouted furiously, “You don't have to throw yourself at him just to get close to him for my sake. That's despicable!”
Much later, Gu Huaijin realized he'd truly lost her, and panicked.
He gave up the prime minister's daughter, abandoned the women who clung to him, and even fell out with his family as he rushed to find her, frantic with worry.
“I can't live without you. Please love me like you used to!” Before Lu Zhenyue could say a word, Xie Chengyan gripped her hand tightly, afraid his future wife would be stolen away.
To everyone else, Xie Chengyan is ruthless and merciless. But with his Yue, he's so tender it seems he could melt.
Her awful father dares punish her? He uses his authority as his superior to make her father write an apology with his injured hand.
Her scheming younger sister flirts with him right in front of her? He even burns the clothes the girl touched.
Her stepmother makes things difficult for her? He sends the capital's top courtesan to her father, making sure her stepmother can never cause trouble again.
That night, as a shooting star streaked across the sky, the two sat together at the highest point in the capital to watch.
Xie Chengyan made a wish on the shooting star: May she have a lifetime of peace and happiness. If possible, please let her love me, even just a little.
It's beautiful, and feels a little bit too much to love!
