At first, Zhu Chengyun merely finds the woman amusing and keeps her around to tease from time to time. Then...
“Yan’er, please let me in, all right?”
A few things to know before reading:
1. The leads are not both inexperienced: the heroine is, the hero is not.
2. The heroine is nurtured over time. She may seem rather naive at first, but she will grow later on.
3. If you dislike any of the characters, that’s a problem with my writing, not the characters themselves. You can criticize me, and I’ll do my best to improve.
4. The setting is inspired by the Ming dynasty, with some changes. Please point out anything that seems inaccurate. Thank you.
