Shen Zhiyi was born into the Great Qing dynasty and became the daughter of a successful candidate in the imperial examinations.
Her father was gentle and refined, her mother capable and shrewd, her elder brother forthright, and her family warm and harmonious.
Even after spending ten years on the northwestern frontier, she was content.
She had planned to keep her head down, study and learn the arts, help her mother manage the family tavern, and enjoy a quiet life of her own.
But then her maternal uncle was promoted, and a single order of promotion sent the whole family back to the capital. At Hongwen Academy, where boys and girls studied together, she accidentally took the seat beside Gu Linyuan, heir to the Marquis of Jing'an.
The young marquis was aloof and cold, and his gaze always seemed to appraise her from a distance.
Shen Zhiyi knew better than to get close. She could never reach the high-born and powerful, and had no desire to try.
But later, she discovered:
When her father prepared for the Imperial Academy selection, he discreetly pointed him toward the crucial details.
When her elder brother resolved to join the army, he gave him military manuals and maps.
When others made things difficult for her, he quietly stepped in to help.
He had even carefully kept the paper wrapper from a batch of sweet osmanthus cakes she had made on a whim...
Shen Zhiyi had no choice but to turn around and meet those deep-set eyes.
"Classmate Gu, what exactly do you want?"
Gu Linyuan looked at the girl beside him, who was always far too clearheaded for a fourteen-year-old.
He remembered her focus as she played the qin, her incisive arguments in her essays, and her unassuming composure.
After a long silence, he finally spoke in a low voice:
"Shen Zhiyi, stop hiding."
◆ Cozy everyday moments × delicate personal growth × a romance that unfolds naturally
◆ Clearheaded, perceptive transmigrated heroine × cold-faced, warm-hearted heir to a marquis's household
✅️86 Chapters, worth reading 🍅Sober, transparent, excellent and peaceful Shen Zhiyi VS lonely and proud Gu Linyuan with a cold face and a warm heart 🍅A team of 6 classmates from Hongwen Academy Shen Zhiyi + Gu Linyuan + Shen Zhixing + Xie Yunshu + Su Wanrou + Lu Ziyu ① The heroine is relatively perfect. From the perspective of a bystander, I can't find fault with the heroine's current style of doing things. ② Starting from Chapter 15, the male protagonist has a bit of a living person, so I can enjoy their CP. I was a little unhappy with him in the beginning (heehee😁),,, cold-faced and warm-hearted, but after getting to know each other later, I found that the male protagonist is indeed a very thoughtful and excellent person. ③ The uncle's CP is Su Jingyao (not much ink) ④ The current plot is focused on their "academy life", and the boys are about to graduate (16 years old) ⑤The emotional line is probably a process of "taking things naturally" and "let nature take its course". Currently, the male and female protagonists are in a stage where they know their feelings for each other and their family members and everything is going well. As for what happens next, I like the heroine's attitude - "The road is still long, just wait and see" ⑥The heroine's growth line, the author of en, quite surprised me. At present, one side is the management of the restaurant, and the other side is relying on the talents of the academy to learn, and indirectly also came into contact with some officialdom affairs and officialdom bosses.
It was very tiring to chase, so I retreated first. The plot is actually quite good, but sometimes the forced suspense is quite strange. The heroine has a high IQ and is very good, but she hasn't done anything big yet, so it's not uncomfortable to watch her. Overall not bad
It's quite interesting. It describes the heroine. Each chapter contains descriptions of various moods. It's true 😂 that there are too many.
