Fifteen years ago, the Lin family’s month-old daughter was stolen, leaving an endless ache in the hearts of two families.
Fifteen years later, Lin Qinghe, who grew up at a Taoist temple deep in the mountains, comes down to find her family, carrying half of a jade pendant. She moves with skill and precision, knows a little about traditional diagnosis, but hasn’t the faintest idea how to navigate the neon-lit city.
On her very first day in the city, she catches a thief after witnessing an injustice. Her swift, precise moves happen to catch Gu Yanchen’s eye. What shocks him even more is that the half-pendant around her neck is an exact match for the other half treasured by his family.
Fifteen years ago, when the Gu and Lin families arranged a betrothal for their newborn children, each family kept one half of the token.
Could the long-lost fiancée from the stories really be a “little fairy” who ran away from a Taoist temple, can take down an opponent with her bare hands, and even knows how to take someone’s pulse?
Looking at the clear-eyed young woman before him, utterly bewildered by modern life, Gu Yanchen feels that this absurd coincidence conceals a red thread of fate woven long ago.
As for Lin Qinghe, she looks at her imposing “fiancé,” rests a hand on his wrist, and says earnestly, “Sir, your pulse... is a little unusual.”
From the Taoist temple to the city, from strangers to something familiar, as she searches for her family, she also slowly finds her way into the heart of a man who seems cold and distant. A freewheeling spirit meets the rules of the city, and a fated engagement collides with real sparks. This romance, delayed by fifteen years, is only just beginning.
