A poised, proper young lady × a carefree young nobleman | Both are virgins | Mutual pining becomes love | He chases her after she leaves | Mutual pining
In the eyes of the ladies of the capital, Su Yueheng is the model “perfect daughter-in-law.” Poised and proper, gentle and composed, everyone says she will make the finest lady of the household one day.
She thought she would live that way for the rest of her life, too.
She would marry a Hanlin Academy editor from an equal family, treat him with mutual respect, and live a quiet, uneventful life.
Then she met Lu Yiyun, the Yongning Marquis who handed her half an orange at a flower banquet and whom everyone dismissed as a libertine.
At their first meeting, she coldly refused him. “No need.”
He shrugged with a smile. “You've got quite a temper.”
Only later did she learn the truth:
He wore his playboy ways like armor and hid his devotion behind laughter.
He dared not get close because the righteous path had wounded him deeply when he was young, and because he feared ruining her reputation.
But she broke off her engagement. Her name was smeared. Everyone abandoned her.
On that rainy night, he knelt outside her door, drenched from head to toe.
“Of all the gods and Buddhas in this world, I believe only in you.”
It turned out that the greatest love in the world isn't about adding beauty to an already beautiful picture.
It's about recognizing me even after I've shattered into pieces.
Warning: extra sweet!
The carefree marquis can't keep up the act any longer!
Click to see him chase while she runs, him kneel and cry, and her smile as she marries him.
“The road ahead is slippery. There's no need to rush.”
“But in this life, you're the only one I can't wait for.”
