Songs Among the Flowers: Maple's Side Story (Matriarchal Society)

There's an old nursery rhyme: girls are a nuisance to cats and dogs at seven or eight. At sixteen, Second Young Master Lan was a nuisance to people, cats, dogs, and mice alike. The time had come for him to marry. Where would Second Young Master Lan's heart end up? Would he stubbornly fall in love with a peerless beauty who already belonged to someone else, only to meet a miserable end? Would he be forced to marry a woman who didn't love him while carrying someone else in his heart, and spend his life in gloom? Would he run into a fierce, stubborn father-in-law and start a battle between father- and son-in-law? Or would he be forced to marry off to some savage wasteland, where he would die far from home, unknown to anyone? None of that was even close to happening. As it turned out, some people are born lucky, and nothing can stop them. The raucous days of Second Young Master Lan before he met his destined wife: no powerful patron to clean up his messes, and no one to bail him out. As the saying goes, wildfires cannot burn it all away; it sprouts again when the spring breeze blows. That's Second Young Master Lan for you: still stubborn, still willful, and still causing a ruckus. Then he got married, then went on his honeymoon, and from then on, he kept causing trouble without a care in the world. Dedicated to all the innocent, adorable, willful little rascals who became cannon fodder and made my heart ache. Theme: Enjoy the moment, enjoy the day. A carefree little immortal.
