Back then, Beiping City belonged to the Zhang family, and Zhang Mingtai was none other than the young master of the Zhangs.
As far back as he could remember, magnolia blossoms filled the air in Beiping, in every alley and lane.
He had been a boy scout, attended military school, and studied abroad. When he returned, he discovered
A cool, fair-skinned lotus had bloomed in Beiping City.
Unlike the lotus flowers in Nanhaizi Park, this one wore rouge and painted makeup. Its bud released an orchid fragrance, its beauty a gift of nature. When its moist lashes, carrying the abundant humidity of the south, lifted ever so slightly, it was like the first patch of snow melting from Beiping’s tiled rooftops.
That was his Nightingale.
Two years before coming to Beiping, Shen Linzhou had never heard of this person, because the other had gone abroad to study.
But when Shen Linzhou plucked his three-stringed lute and “Searching for the Clear Water River” flowed like moonlight shimmering across Beiping’s waters, it drifted into the heart of the returning young master, who had not heard a tune in years.
Shen Linzhou raised his eyes and unexpectedly met Zhang Mingtai’s moonlit gaze.
…So someone else had taken him for moonlight, too.
