My father died suddenly, and my stepmother tampered with his will. Now she wanted to send me after him.
I, the legitimate daughter of the Xu family, cut my hair overnight, bound my chest, and fled with my snow lion. Halfway along the road, I stopped a carriage. The noble young man inside said only one word: “Filthy.”
I thought he meant I was filthy and disheveled. Instead, he took me in.
Only later did I learn that Cheng Yanzhou, the court’s official painter, was so much of a neat freak that if anyone touched him, he would burn his clothes.
But he seemed to act strangely around me.
When he handed me tea, he touched my fingers; when he ground ink, he stared at the nape of my neck; and at night, he secretly sketched me.
I put on a serious face. “Young Master, why are you always trying to hug me?”
His ears turned scarlet, but his voice stayed steady. “Because... I think I’ve fallen for a ‘man.’”
Me: ???
You’re a neat freak, but you want to hug a man every day. Does that make any sense?
Beautiful and beautiful (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡
