Synopsis

A self-controlled, unhinged Chinese tycoon × a cool, fragile beauty from Jiangnan Twelve-year age gap, fatherly older man | Fake contract, real secret crush | Devoted sweet romance | Suzhou embroidery, an intangible cultural heritage Shen Qingci’s family has fallen on hard times, but with her extraordinary Suzhou embroidery skills and breathtakingly cool beauty, a video of her “embroidering peonies in the rain” goes viral across the internet. Netizens call her “the fragile white peony.” In front of the camera, she is elegant in simple clothes, seemingly untouched by worldly concerns, the unattainable dream girl in countless hearts. But no one knows that, to save her family’s ancestral embroidery studio, she signed an agreement and was taken under the wing of the all-powerful Seventh Master of the Wei family in Tianjin. At first, everyone said she was merely a stand-in for the “white moonlight” in the Seventh Master’s heart. But before she could even feel dejected, the man presented her with rare, discontinued imperial embroidery threads, and even let her play with the agarwood Buddhist beads he never took off his wrist. Spoiled and indulged, she dares to cry and throw tantrums. She even smashes a priceless Ming-dynasty embroidery frame in his study. Yet the next moment, he draws her into his arms and softly coaxes her while applying medicine to her wound. Wei Lin, the seventh son of the Wei family, the foremost of Tianjin’s four great clans, is usually seen in a traditional Chinese tunic with Buddhist beads in hand. Yet his methods are as ruthless as a demon’s, earning him the fear and respect of all as the “Buddha-Faced King of Hell.” Rumor has it that he is detached from worldly desires, keeps women at a distance, and has a mysterious private life. Then one day, during a grim Wei family clan meeting, the little woman shamelessly video-calls him. Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she speaks in a soft, sweet voice, her words tinged with a sob. “Jingyuan… my hand hurts.” The entire room of clan members falls deathly silent. At the head of the table, the man snuffs out his cigar. The look he gives the phone is tender enough to melt. After a moment, his deep voice comes through the speaker, soothing her. “Be good. I’ll be right back to massage it for you. Hmm?”

In the process of falling in love, there are quarrels and doubts, but more of it is the growing love between each other. (Suzhou embroidery from beginning to end is really a bright spot. Traditional innovation is not catering but growing new branches from the roots.) Love is the will to sink freely. It is I understand your support and I understand your worries. It is I understand your pride and I understand your responsibility and perseverance. Shen Qingci and Wei Lin in the parallel world should continue to love each other in peace and joy.

The author's writing style is very delicate. When I read the first chapter, I knew that the author's writing style must be very good. While writing the novel, he also promoted Soviet revisionism. The interaction between the male and female protagonists is very sweet. The male protagonist respects the female protagonist's career, and the female protagonist is also very enterprising. When someone makes things difficult for her, she does not shy away but responds with high emotional intelligence. The author's description makes people feel deeply involved. I hope they will always be sweet [Adoration][Adoration][Admiration]
