Modern-day girl Shen Zhiyue dies young after saving someone. When she opens her eyes again, she finds herself an unborn baby in ancient times. Born into the wealthy Shen family, she is cherished by her parents and named Zhiyue, meaning “may you know joy all your life.” Carrying the memories of her previous life, she becomes a student who loves to learn: she studies everything from horseback riding and archery to music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, though she’s only a little good at any of it. Her family asks nothing more than that she live happily and safely.
It isn’t until she’s eleven that she learns she has a betrothed. Hearing that his whole family is made up of stunning beauties, Shen Zhiyue, who has a weakness for good looks, is instantly intrigued. On the day they meet, the young Gu Changheng appears in white, elegant and peerlessly handsome, just as she’d heard. But… isn’t this gentleman a little too pure-hearted? She only has to look at him a couple of times before his face turns red all the way to his ears.
Shen Zhiyue soon finds herself a new pastime: teasing her innocent fiancé. But she never imagines that the boy who used to blush at the slightest provocation has quietly turned into a black-sesame-filled tangyuan while she wasn’t looking. When he drops his innocent disguise, he gently catches the hand she used to tease him, his eyes filled with unfathomable tenderness and possessiveness. “Yue’er, you’ve had your fun long enough. Isn’t it my turn now?”
