[Older man + married woman + guiding lover + revenge + sweet romance + healing]
Lu Zeyan, born into one of the capital’s elite military compounds, can’t understand it.
All he did was hold a meeting in Wanshandu.
And ever since,
whenever Wanshandu’s owner has an embarrassing moment,
he’s there, listening in from outside the door.
Is this what he gets for falling for a married woman and wanting to take her place?
Everyone who likes Su Zhili praises her as elegant, proper, gentle, and virtuous.
Like the guests at Wanshandu.
Those who dislike her call her rigid, old-fashioned, and a puppet on a string.
Like Su Zhili’s husband.
Those who covet her have seen the blazing soul she keeps hidden away in pieces inside a box.
Like Lu Zeyan.
So he opens the box
and carefully puts her back together.
This piece is mine.
And this one, too.
At the Su family’s old mansion, where the rain never seems to stop,
Su Zhili, with no hope of rescue,
finally meets someone
willing to share the sunshine with her.
