Upright and proper young lady x scheming little beggar
Ruan Ningyu x He Wenqing
Ruan Ningyu's perspective
Ruan Ningyu never would have imagined that the little beggar she had kindly brought home from the street would confess her love five years later!
At first, she thought it was just a young girl's attachment to her big sister. After all, how could an eighteen-year-old girl understand love?
But when He Wenqing looked into her eyes and said, word by word, “I love you,” again and again, even Ruan Ningyu, who could remain unruffled as Mount Tai crumbled before her, had no idea how to respond. She could no longer treat it as a little girl's joke...
He Wenqing's perspective
From the very first time He Wenqing saw Ruan Ningyu, she wanted to spend the rest of her life with her. So, time and again, she carefully tested the waters with her young lady.
But the young lady seemed to think of her as nothing but an ignorant little kid, which made He Wenqing furious. She also realized that Ruan Ningyu was a great big blockhead who knew nothing about love! Even after their lips had touched, Ruan Ningyu still thought He Wenqing was joking with her.
So, after the young lady was confessed to yet again, He Wenqing could no longer hold back. She stopped beating around the bush and told her senior sister plainly that she loved her...
