[High-ranking family | Childhood sweethearts | Restraining sinking | Extreme preference]
Xie Zhichun always felt that Xie Tingbai would always be with him.
She was afraid of the dark, so he left a light for her every night.
She had nightmares, and he would hold her to sleep.
She could easily open his door late at night by saying "I miss my brother."
The entire Xie family knew that the eldest son indulged Zhichun the most. Even after she grew up, she still didn't know how to behave appropriately.
It was not until later, when Xie Zhichun got married, that Chang'an aristocratic families came to ask for her hand in marriage.
Xie Tingbai still looked calm, meeting people for her and screening invitations for her, like the most qualified brother.
But only he himself knows——
Every more person wants to marry her.
The loss of control in his heart became even more severe.
Later, Dong Gong asked to marry Xie Zhichun, and the whole city was waiting for her to marry in glory.
And for the first time, in the wind and snow in Chang'an, the eldest son of the Xie family, the most honorable and observant of etiquette, had thoughts that he shouldn't have.
Reader comments
The pace of the first three chapters is particularly comfortable.
There is no hard-written relationship, but you can clearly feel the deep-seated dependence between two people.
Leaving lanterns on snowy nights, paper kites in spring, and sheltering from the rain in ancestral halls are all very quiet, but the quieter they are, the more disturbing they are.
Especially the bamboo whistle section in Chapter 2 is particularly wonderful.
Xie Tingbai didn't even realize why he was unhappy, but readers could already feel it - he began to dislike others approaching Zhichun.
