Su Yanci was a poor scholar from Jiangnan. After placing first in the imperial examinations, he became the newly appointed top scholar.
Everyone said he had a bright future ahead of him. Only he knew that he had already fallen for the golden figure behind the curtain, a love he dared not speak aloud.
Princess Yongning, Li Zhaowan, was a noble-born daughter of the imperial family who secretly loved him. She approached him of her own accord time and time again, but all she got in return was, “This subject dares not.”
She withdrew with dignity, then turned around and chatted happily with the heir of a military family.
Only after he was banished from the capital, alone and with nothing, did he finally understand:
He had never dared to reach for her, nor dared to let her down. But nothing hurt more than realizing how deeply he loved her only after her heart had gone cold.
This time, he would cross the divide of rank, shatter the rumors, and run to her.
Your Highness, this subject is late.
It is so difficult to find a gentle book here. It is a treasure book. The four pairs of the whole book are perfect and have a sweet taste. Although there are a lot of repetitive dialogues, it doesn't make people feel uncomfortable. It is a good and comfortable writing. The first comment, unexpected 😄
