Synopsis

[Pure-hearted young heir in disguise as a man × gentle, clever eldest daughter of the Chancellor]

Xiao Zhuo, heir to the estate of the Great Zhou dynasty's General Who Guards the North, was strikingly handsome, dashing and carefree, with a bold, flamboyant spirit. He was the brightest young man in the capital. Whenever he rode through the main streets, girls would sneak peeks at him; when he practiced swordsmanship, even the emperor praised him as a tiger cub from a family of generals. But no one knew that this dashing “young master” was actually a girl disguised as a boy.

Shen Zhiyi, the Chancellor's legitimate daughter, was gentle and refined, skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and renowned for her talent. Yet the rules for unmarried women kept her confined behind the high walls of her secluded quarters most of the time. Her greatest daily pleasure was waiting for the boy who loved to climb over her family's wall, bringing her a packet of candied fruit or a book to read, and keeping her company as they watched flowers fall in the courtyard and the new moon rise over the eaves.

From their childhood days to the age when she came of age, Xiao Zhuo climbed that wall for eight years, always believing she felt nothing for Shen Zhiyi but friendship. Then one day, she heard that the Chancellor planned to arrange a marriage for her. She suddenly crushed the porcelain cup in her hand, a strange anger surging in her heart.

“Who says... she has to marry someone else?”

[Childhood sweethearts, a slow and steady romance, as she breaks through the high walls of convention for her]

“You climbed over the wall for eight years just to say that?” she asked with a smile.

The young man's ears turned bright red, but she pressed a jade pendant into her palm. “A-and... could you wait for me, and only me?”

(Note: This story is entirely fictional and has no direct connection to any historical period.

It's a great read. I love the characters (especially the three-year age gap, younger man/older woman dynamic). The writing is delicate, and the plot is very engaging, detailing their childhood interactions. I just hope it doesn't get too angsty later on (a little angst is fine, but too much is unbearable).

I really love it! The plot and everything are so appealing to my taste, especially the older man/younger woman dynamic! 🥰 It's really good, I just hope they grow up quickly! The author's writing is also excellent; I didn't feel any age inconsistency at all while writing, giving me the illusion that the characters are distinct and their ages are natural. 🤦 The only downside is that there aren't enough chapters. I wish the author would suddenly release 100 chapters in a row! 🥰

I'll give it 4 stars. After all, I've been reading it for so long, and the writing is quite good, except for the occasional awkward moment. The only problem is the slow updates. I've been following it for several days, and it only updates a maximum of two chapters a day, often just one. Yesterday it even stopped updating altogether. I don't like this feeling. See you later!

It truly felt like finding a treasure of an author on Tomato Bookstore was a lifesaver. I hope the author updates soon; I hadn't read it for a few days and was saving it up, only to find it had been on hiatus for a few days. But I'm so happy that more and more people are reading it. I think it's better than many of Tomato's dual-female-lead novels (this is currently my favorite). Keep up the good work, author! I love your writing style ❤️

It's great! It's very heartwarming. It's a shame it's not finished yet so I can't binge-watch it all at once. But it feels like discovering a treasure. As long as the characters don't fall apart or the ending is bad, it's really pretty good. 😳 It was great; I saved it for several days and then watched it all at once. When can we be together and reveal our true identities? Oh my god, I'm getting anxious watching this, I'm a little worried.

Why did the author of "Bu'er" stop updating? 😢 Don't scare me! I finally found a good book!

It's very sweet, but I hope that Xiao Zhuo's true identity remains a secret only among her close family members until the very end. If there's a scene where she reveals her true gender in public, it feels a bit awkward and unwatchable. The author's writing is excellent, and I enjoy the relationship between the two female leads.

I stumbled upon a gem! It's a really good novel with two female protagonists. I love this kind of childhood sweetheart romance that grows slowly and steadily. It's refreshing, heartwarming, and a great read!
