【This story is best enjoyed with the readers’ comments turned on. You’ll be treated to a stream of clever remarks from our lovely readers.】 A Chun, a country girl, travels a thousand miles to seek out relatives. Newly arrived at a grand household, she is careful and cautious, afraid to make even the slightest mistake. All she wants is to use the household’s influence to find a suitable husband with power and status. Things go smoothly. Shen Weizhen, the distant cousin who now runs the Shen household, treats her like a younger sister, with thoughtful care and generous kindness. A Chun also finds the man she’s been looking for. He comes from a wealthy family and seems decent enough. But when the time comes for their planned secret meeting, A Chun opens the door and finds her older cousin Shen Weizhen sitting inside. He looks perfectly calm. Or perhaps he’s gone mad. Please note: “Flower’s favorite guest” is another name for the camellia. The heroine and hero are not related by blood. Their parents’ generation are distant cousins by marriage, an adopted kinship.
