Clear Spring Waters

A woman pretending to be a man is bound to cause no end of trouble. Xie Quanting (half-smiling, her phoenix eyes narrowing, earrings glinting): I'm a fake man. What have I got to fear? Jian Xiao (smiling gently, endlessly indulgent): Zhenzhi, be good. Stop fooling around and come home with me! Qu Ran (sighing despite his cool demeanor): That woman really is something else... Xie Fengling (looking sweet and innocent): I'll follow my second brother's example in everything, except dressing as a man. Chen Yanlan (deeply exasperated): I'm definitely their good friend, so why am I always the one who gets hurt...? Xiao Ye (looking around): Don't ask me. I don't know a thing. This is the ancient-era version of Tingting Quanshui. It's completely clean and definitely a slow burn, so I hope readers will bear with me! A solemn disclaimer: this story is set in a fictional world, so please overlook anything that doesn't match history. I know there probably aren't many readers, but I still want to mention my new project: Theme:
