[Weak orphan girl working hard at every step]
Lord Shen Liu covets someone.
Chu Chengyan, in the Imperial Academy, offered wine and was cold and restrained.
When she was fourteen years old, he complimented her. From admiration to love, she became obsessed with him.
Hiding behind the screen, she heard the noble voice saying: "I will only understand this after I have won the title."
That was the first time she was "seen."
In order to get close to that person, she went to the Imperial College, got close to his students, helped compile books... Even at any cost.
But she didn't expect that his disciple Lin Yian would be attracted to her first.
Lin Yian is that person's direct disciple. He lived in the Chu Mansion and was extremely talented. At the age of seventeen, he took the provincial examination for Yayuan.
He likes things neat and tidy—at least at first.
But in her eyes, she only had his teacher from the beginning.
——
Chu Chengyan knew that there was a young woman who admired him. He didn't think he would like a woman much younger than him.
But she persisted in showing him how good she was. Later, they got close to each other drunkenly, and he took advantage of the situation and proposed marriage.
He also already knew that his heart was attracted to her.
[Reading Tips]
1. The heroine marries the second boy, the age difference is 11 years, and the middle plot begins at the beginning.
2. Dual timeline narrative, from the perspective of the current male protagonist and from the perspective of the past female protagonist.
3. Love cannot be tolerated + teacher-student taboos. The male protagonist in the main text has an open ending, and there will be explanations in the extras.
Intention: The desire to be seen is also the price; growth is not about gaining, but about accepting loss.
