The willful beauty-obsessed heiress x the aloof, old-fashioned beauty on the mountain peak
Shen Mingshu was stunning enough to make fish forget to swim and birds forget to fly, but in the capital, her beauty was never what she was famous for. She was an absolute beauty fanatic, the sort who would spend a fortune and bankrupt herself for a pretty face. Fortunately, her mother was a princess and her father the Minister of Revenue, so the family could afford her extravagance.
Over the years, she had set her sights on dozens of young noblemen, if not hundreds.
Whether they came from humble families or noble ones, as long as they had beautiful bone structure, she would shower them with money.
She had always gotten her way, and in time, she began to find it a little dull.
That changed this year, when she went south to Jiangnan for the Qixi Festival and collided with a young man in white beneath a misty corridor.
The moment their eyes met, only one thought remained in her mind: So handsome, so handsome, so handsome.
She tried her usual trick, piling mountains of gold and silver before him.
For the first time, it had absolutely no effect.
In the end, she simply followed the plot of a storybook and locked him away in a golden house.
He did stay, but remained as cool as snow and as distant as the moon.
Fine. She would pluck this untouchable flower, no matter what!
