Young Magistrate Shaoqing and His Tomato Fairy

He Lian was born unable to see color.

The world’s riot of colors appeared to him only in shades of gray.

As the stern, unfeeling Assistant Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, he was accustomed to solitude, and kept an old dream hidden from everyone.

When he was a homeless child, all he had was one little tomato, yet he gave the whole thing to a clean-cut boy who suddenly appeared.

The boy, Ran Qiu, was a bored little immortal from the celestial realm.

After hearing the immortals talk about tomatoes in the human world, red as a blaze and sweet as a warm heart, he secretly descended to earth just to seek that touch of warmth.

It was that cool yet kind child who gave him all the sweetness he had.

Ran Qiu conjured a whole courtyard full of tomato plants for him, but the celestial laws could not be defied, and he had to leave in a hurry.

The unspoken words “Wait for me” became a longing they carried in their hearts for more than a decade.

When they met again, one was a cool and powerful Assistant Minister, while the other was a gentle immortal selling tomatoes in the human world.

They found each other strangely familiar and felt their hearts race, but neither dared to acknowledge the other, pretending it was their first meeting.

He could not see the colors of the world, yet he remembered the other’s face at a glance.

He searched every corner of the human world just to repay that tomato from long ago with a lifetime of tenderness.

A divide between immortal and mortal, a reunion written in fate.

This time, he would stay by his side, fill the courtyard with tomato plants, and warm his colorless days for the rest of his life.

One childhood meeting decided their lives; their reunion rekindled a love that had lasted ten thousand years.

You gave me one sweet tomato, and I’ll give you a courtyard full of spring.
