She became the Guixia rose I kept hidden in my heart. For twelve long years, I watched her from afar. I saw her shine as she sang onstage and dazzle everyone in debate competitions. I also saw her hide beneath the protection of the Chu family, suppress all her talents, and become an obedient, almost invisible stepdaughter.

   "A Dream of Geisha" | Su Youli: I traded twelve years for the right to openly love her. "I've liked you since the summer of my second year of high school, but you still don't know." My name is Su Youli. Everyone thought that my engagement with Chu Yanqing was a marriage of convenience between equals. A business marriage, a powerful alliance, arranged by both families, it was a natural progression. No one questioned the legitimacy of this relationship, including Chu Yanqing himself. But they didn't know that the real reason I agreed to this engagement was not because of Chu Yanqing, but because of her stepsister. The girl who always sat in the corner at the Chu family banquet, head down, and rarely spoke. The girl who, when my fiancée publicly challenged her, would only smile faintly and say, "Sister is right." The girl who was clearly full of talent, yet willingly hid her abilities in the Chu family for eight years. I first noticed her in the summer of my second year of high school. The school organized a social practice activity, and as Chu's stepdaughter, she was assigned to the most inconspicuous team. Everyone was scrambling to stand at the front, vying for screen time, but she quietly stayed at the back, helping the teacher carry equipment and organize the roster. After finishing everything, she sat alone in the shade of a tree reading. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, falling on her shoulders, but she was oblivious. At that moment, I knew this girl was different. Later, I became her sister's fiancé. This identity was like a shackle, pinning me firmly to the spot. I wanted to get close to her, but I couldn't. I wanted to tell her my feelings, but I couldn't. I couldn't even show her the slightest bit of concern in front of anyone—because if I revealed even the slightest flaw, everyone would point the finger at her. They would say she seduced her sister's fiancé. That she was shameless, trying to climb the social ladder. She hadn't done anything wrong, yet she would become the target of everyone's scorn. So I waited twelve years. In those twelve years, I collected all her photos—she was on the steps of the courthouse, by the window of the library, reading in a coffee shop. Every single one was proof that I couldn't get close to her. For twelve years, I remembered all her preferences—she liked light flavors, she hated insincere formalities, and she wouldn't even bother with perfunctory pleasantries towards people she didn't like. For twelve years, I watched her suffer injustice in the Chu family, unable to stand up for her. Because I knew that if I did, it would only make things harder for her. Until Chu Yanqing personally destroyed that engagement. Until I finally had a legitimate reason to openly approach her. At the family banquet, when I said, "The Chu family still has another daughter," everyone thought I was being stubborn, trying to humiliate the Chu family. No one knew how many times I had rehearsed those words in my mind. No one knew how long I had waited for this opportunity to speak. I wasn't seeking revenge on the Chu family. I was using Chu Yanqing's mistakes to pave a path for myself towards her. Some said I was cunning, that I was calculating every step of the way. I don't deny it. For her, I didn't mind being the one who schemed everything. But I also had my bottom line—I wouldn't use any means to tarnish her reputation in order to get her. I wanted her to appear before me with a clear conscience, without anyone having the chance to gossip behind her back. So I could wait. Wait twelve years, for the right opportunity, for a reason for her to accept me without any burden. Fortunately, I waited. If you ask me what kind of story *Geisha's Dream* is, I will tell you: it's the story of a boy who spent twelve years finally reaching the girl. It's not some domineering CEO forcefully taking her, nor is it some arranged marriage where love blossoms after marriage. It's just an ordinary, clumsy, and cautious person who loved for twelve years, finally finding his spring. Everyone says it was a marriage of convenience, but only I know it was the blossoming of twelve years of unrequited love. [Reading Tips] A deeply affectionate and restrained male tycoon × A clear-headed and independent female judge. Twelve years of unrequited love, suddenly broken – he wasn't pursuing her, but asking her to leave without any melodramatic misunderstandings, only a clear-headed and gentle tug-of-war between adults. "Every piece he placed served the same goal: to let her be loved innocently." "I love you, so I can't bear to let you suffer even a bit of worldly filth."

   I'd like to recommend one book by the renowned Qidian author "Human Arsenal" (also known as "Above the Dome"), who wrote "Against the Current: The Pure Era." Don't let the relatively low popularity fool you; before reading this urban rebirth novel, I thought Chen Hansheng was the king. After finishing it, I realized it's him. Perhaps it's because I just finished reading it, but the fact that it could shake and even change my opinion of him as the number one urban novel speaks volumes. Now, let me mention some potentially uncomfortable parts. Because the protagonist has to wait for the female lead to grow up, he creates two perfect female supporting characters (who are also my biggest regrets). Although the ending is good, it has a bit of a "tenant" feel to it. Sigh, it'll take me at least three days to get over it.
