Love and Romance Suit Us All

[A Resilient, Clear-Headed Heroine × A Cool, Obsessive Hero]

Wen Xiangyi lost her father when she was young and followed her mother to seek refuge with the Shen family in the capital.

The Shen family had a kind and generous household, a loving and tolerant matriarch, and sisters who were close and harmonious.

Everyone said she was blessed, and that her life would surely be peaceful and smooth.

She used to believe that, too.

Until one winter night, she was lured into Tingxue Studio with the excuse that there was “something important.”

As soon as the door closed, Shen Yan drew her into his arms from behind.

She didn’t even have time to turn around.

The smell of wine mingled with the bitterness of medicine, seeping into her heart, strand by strand.

At her ear, he murmured the pet name he had for her: Wǎnwan.

Before she could answer, his kisses fell, first behind her ear, then along the side of her neck, pressing on inch by inch, finally stopping at her collarbone, where his teeth grazed her ever so lightly.

A broken sound escaped her throat: “Elder Brother...”

He buried his face in the hollow of her neck. His breath was scorching, but his voice was low and fierce:

“Wǎnwan, try running from me again. Just try.”

Later, the hidden room behind Tingxue Studio, the one no one had ever been allowed to enter, was opened.

Its walls were covered in portraits of her, from the time she was a little girl with her hair in two buns to the day she came of age.

In a box were the jade hairpin she had lost, the earrings she had given away, and a little undergarment she had spent years searching for.

For ten years, he had painted her one stroke at a time and hidden away her belongings one by one, yet never said a word.

Shen Yan had waited too long, so long that he was almost going mad.

A pure historical romance. The heroine has no golden finger. Coming of age, light household drama, and romance.
