[A runaway bride and orphan from Jiangnan & the legitimate son of a powerful capital family]
One-on-one, both leads have only ever loved each other. Sweet romance, with no contrived misunderstandings between them.
At sixteen, Shen Qingxu fled alone from Jiangnan to the capital, carrying half a jade pendant and a marriage contract.
Her parents were dead, and her family estate had been seized. All she wanted was a place to live. Madam Gu had been an old friend of her mother's, and took pity on her, treating her like a daughter. Gu Yanzhao was the only exception: polite, distant, and cold, he wouldn't spare her even one unnecessary glance.
Shen Qingxu thought that was for the best. She only needed to survive; she didn't need anyone's affection.
But she didn't know that the seemingly cold young man would gradually lose his composure when she wasn't looking.
First, he looked at her a little longer. Then came a show of concern he didn't truly mean. And after that, a yearning he couldn't explain even to himself.
She thought she was a drifting weed, never realizing someone had already quietly planted her in the soil.
The content is coherent and the male and female protagonists match well.
It's very beautiful, I just like the feeling of slow pulling 😘 😘 😘 [sneaky smile] [giving heart]
