This book is entirely fictional, so please don’t relate it to real life. If it’s not for you, just pick another book. No hate, please; only five-star reviews accepted.] Life is hard. I just want to write something sweet and happy... The Su family of Nancheng is a century-old business dynasty that raised Su Qingyuan, a young kunqu opera actress specializing in maiden roles. With her graceful figure and picture-perfect features, she stunned the whole city in a moon-white qipao. The Lu family of Nancheng boasts Lu Shiyan, a rising star in tech. He founded Zhichen Technology at twenty-two and is known in business circles as “Lord Lu the Grim.” Decisive and ruthless, he has never known defeat. Rational and restrained all his life, he has never indulged in romance, until that kunqu gathering... She raised her water sleeves, her sweet, soft voice blending into the evening breeze. He glanced up, and in an instant, all reason crumbled. Love at first sight. The curtain rose on a fated romance. Everyone says Lu Shiyan is cold-blooded and heartless, but they don’t know that when Lord Lu sets out to win someone over, he plans every step and is tender to the bone. She is slow to warm up and keeps her distance; he waits patiently. She immerses herself in the ancient art of kunqu; he is willing to learn it from scratch. One is a classical beauty in a qipao, the other a modern tech tycoon. Two people who have never been in love, and a fated romance that begins at first sight. But neither Su Qingyuan nor Lu Shiyan knows... A long-buried secret from more than twenty years ago lies between their families. And was their first meeting really a coincidence, or had someone been plotting it all along?
