There’s a hot new piece of gossip going around Beicheng.
Shen Tang’s childhood betrothed is being replaced. To preserve the marriage arrangement and business partnership between their families, the other side plans to substitute Shen Tang’s younger sister for her.
According to reliable sources, Shen Tang refuses to give up the engagement. She went to negotiate with her intended, but he avoids her like the plague and refuses to meet her. He has also spread the word around their social circle, and everyone has tacitly agreed not to tell Shen Tang where he is.
Shen Tang has become the talk of the town. People say she is aloof, haughty, and too strong-willed, with no feminine charm, and that no ordinary man could handle her.
Fu Lin listened from the side, smiling faintly without a word. His deep eyes stayed on the glass as his fingertip nudged it, setting it spinning gracefully.
Amid all the hustle and bustle of this mortal world, nothing compares to that trace of tenderness you left in my palm. You alone fill my thoughts; I only long to be by your side, day and night.
