[Plain-language blurb] The Bai family is the leading merchant house of the Northern Wu Kingdom.
But they say the eldest Bai daughter is a force to be reckoned with,
and four years after coming of age, she still can't find a husband.
What can she do if no one will marry her?
Well, she can make one herself! (Ahem.)
[Highbrow blurb] There are three kinds of suffering in this world:
First, being imprisoned by money; second, shackled by power; third, helpless before life and death.
People are all like plants, humble and fragile, broken into pieces.
Only your bearing stands apart from the world, and my heart longs for you.
Through countless twists and turns, across tens of thousands of words, this tale is called Longing for You.
[Please note] This is a new story, set in an imagined ancient world with a broad worldbuilding scope.
See the prologue for details. I recommend not reading it through the lens of ancient Chinese worldbuilding _(:зゝ∠)_.
Some terms are the author's own creations _(:зゝ∠)_.
It features a stepsibling pairing _(:зゝ∠)_.
Please be kind _(:зゝ∠)_.
[Major announcement] Major announcement! Chu Jiu is new to Jinjiang! New to Jinjiang! Chen Chujiu is a senior in high school! High-school senior Chen Chujiu gets up early and stays up late every day! She's about to run off with her exam prep books! So she's left Longing for You on the shelf! We have no choice, no choice but to make up for it with one or two updates a month! That's our word count, and our sincerity! (Cries angrily.)
[Minor announcement] During her year as a high-school senior, Chu Jiu will be doing a major revision of the earlier chapters, at irregular intervals =-= So check back now and then for new content! (Ahem.)
Chujiujiu is about to update! No. 10 Spicy! Zhong Jingxian is cute (•̀∀•́), but I don't think it's a good idea to fall in love with a maid, unless the maid can use unfair means...
King Ning and the Emperor(๑•.•๑)
The eldest brother said to himself, "I have been seducing my sister for more than ten years and I still haven't succeeded?" ! Second Girl: This is very powerful.
The deputy CP takes turns to be silly! I'm happy! The second girl and the eldest brother are working together to trick people! I'm happy!
I guess the second girl is related to the prince:-D, right? Maybe Mr. Zhong is a shrewd man disguised as a playboy? Then aren't Chujiujiuyuebai and Ice Blue both blue? Can moonlight describe ice blue?
The little girl is about to reveal her secret. Although I think the second brother's stupidity in dating depends on his sister's reminder, otherwise he would be kept in the dark, but it makes me feel good to think that Xiaolan has been abusing herself! I hope this tangle doesn't end yet hh
I guess the last sentence in this chapter is a pun? In addition, it will involve political struggles or something later (⊙▽⊙) Congratulations to the author, mua~
Although I can't spoil it, I want to spoil what the relationship between the juniors will be like =. =
I forgot to read the text... It turns out that the official partner is the eldest brother... Luckily I thought the eldest brother was the male counterpart for six chapters;-)
Big brother and sister control me! Now I think that either the second girl will be assigned to the Mu family, or the second girl will be assigned to her brother!!! Chu Jiujiu, let me give you a very big idea. Was the second girl brought in by the Mu family? The adoption process, after all, the two sons of the Bai family and so on, and then the second girl helps the Mu family to collect information about the Bai family and monitor the Bai family, and then the eldest brother knows that the second girl is not a biological sister, so he pretends to be a sister and really likes it:-D Although the eldest brother looks like a typical supporting actor at first glance, I can stand up to this Xipi:-D On the other hand, the second brother looks like a silly boy wearing the skin of a romantic boy...
