Spring Outshines the Morning

Yuan Ying was a frail beauty. After an accident, she discovered that whenever she made physical contact with Zhou Jie, her weak body would briefly improve.

Zhou Jie was the stepson of her aunt. He was a well-known gentleman in the capital, graceful as the breeze and moonlight, calm and self-restrained, and the most suitable heir to the Duke of Su's household.

A master once predicted Yuan Ying wouldn't live past eighteen. As her health grew weaker, she took one step at a time toward finding the remedy meant just for her: holding hands with Zhou Jie, then embracing him, then kissing him, and finally...

Before they reached the final step, Zhou Jie discovered what she was after.

As the heir to the Duke of Su, Zhou Jie held himself to strict standards and always followed the rules. He had never once strayed, except when he let his heart soften toward Yuan Ying. After that, he could no longer control himself.

But even knowing she was only using him, he still wanted to marry her.
