Shen Yanshu, an ambitious man of power; Li Weiying, a gentle yet headstrong young lady of an influential family. (Both are each other’s first and only love + equally strong leads + love grows over time + devoted to one another + sweet everyday moments…)
Shen Yanshu lay low for decades, secretly putting his plans in motion. He became the White-Clad Guest, both the leader of the alliance and the young master of the pavilion, carefully advancing step by step toward the overthrow of the dynasty. Many factions vied for the Bronze Sparrow Token, and he deliberately approached Li Weiying to investigate its whereabouts. They hadn’t spent long together before affection gradually blossomed between them. Shen Yanshu revealed a side of himself no one else knew. He was an ambitious schemer of the martial world; she was the eldest legitimate daughter, carrying the greatest hopes of her clan. He was captivated by her tenderness and lost himself in it, while she was equally enamored of the young man, seeing only herself reflected in his eyes. They were drawn to one another and fell in love.
