Sister Liu, I've Come to Marry You

【Childhood Sweethearts, Older Woman/Younger Man, Sweet Romance, Devoted Love, Mutual Firsts】 【Bold, Bright, and Brave Young Heir Who Pursues Love vs. Gentle, Clever Daughter of a Scholarly Family】 When Pei Jinyan was ten, Jiang Zhiyu dragged him to the Shen residence, saying they should go see the legitimate daughter of the Liu family, who had come from Jiangnan. He told Pei she was a rare beauty. Pei Jinyan wasn't interested at first, but he was dragged along anyway. The two boys were perched on the wall when he suddenly locked eyes with the young girl sitting in the pavilion. He immediately jumped down from the wall, his own heartbeat pounding in his ears. The first time Liu Qingwan saw the boy in red leaning over the wall, his glass-like eyes were branded into her memory. She thought they would never meet again, but by a twist of fate, they became acquainted. Three years apart in age, they called each other brother and sister and spent a wonderful time together in the capital. On the day they parted, Pei Jinyan said with red-rimmed eyes, “You have to wait for me! I'll come find you!” Six years later, they had both grown up. Pei Jinyan was sixteen now, and he decided to make good on his promise. When he finally confessed the feelings he had kept buried in his heart, all he got in response was Liu Qingwan shouting, “I'll always be your older sister!” His eyes reddened. Swallowing his bitterness, he asked stubbornly, “Can I love you?” Her silence said everything. Heartbroken, Pei Jinyan walked away, but before long, he changed his mind and turned back. Years later, after they had been married for many years, Liu Qingwan's eyes sparkled as she said, “I'm grateful to that brave young man from back then!”
