An imaginary setting
Pure historical romance, one-on-one pairing + mutual secret crushes + childhood sweethearts + happy ending
[Free-spirited but frail second young master of the Pei family × quiet, reserved second young lady of the Jiang family]
The person Jiang Lanyue dislikes most at the academy is Pei Yanchuan, because he always finds some way to leave her speechless.
“Parting for a single day feels like three autumns. By that reckoning, Miss Jiang and I haven’t seen each other for more than two years.”
“‘I think of you in your green jade pendant; my thoughts wander on and on. Though I do not go to you, why do you not come to me?’ And yet, here you are.”
“Miss Jiang, have you ever heard the saying, ‘Red beans set in a delicate dice: do you know how longing sinks into the bones?’”
Jiang Lanyue: “You lecher!”
“From now on, Pei Yanchuan is the person I hate most!”
“I’m never speaking to him again!”
The male lead is described as sickly at length. If that’s not your thing, please don’t read.
