The mountains and waters of Changqing, the patter of falling rain, the faint outline of a bamboo pavilion beneath the waning moon.
The clearing behind the pavilion was filled with hollyhocks, their pale colors spreading endlessly. Time flew by, and a thin layer of frost formed on the petals, cold to the touch.
Before the hollyhocks, the clouds parted and the moon shone bright.
Amid the dimming lights, a man in blue slowly sat down, gazing at the flowers with an inscrutable expression. His cool, thin lips curved upward, as if the hollyhocks had granted him a beautiful dream.
He still wore the blue clothes he had worn when they first met.
He still had the simple, lovely apricot-blossom hairpin.
He was still caught in a dream and a vow from another lifetime, from years ago.
Hua Jingwan is an odd little girl, always eager to take advantage of any opportunity that comes her way. When a handsome man who looks ready to drool happens to meet her standards for a husband, should she take him in? Or take him in? Or... devour him whole to ensure there are no future troubles!
This is the story of a little flower girl determined to follow the one she loves, pursuing him against all odds. The road is a little bumpy, and as for the ending, it's still undecided!
