Shao An, Take It Easy

This story is a hodgepodge of an arrogant boy, an arrogant girl, and a country bumpkin. There's family, friendship, and love? Probably that too. Boys and girls have to grow up someday... It's been four years since I first came up with this story, and it will be my first proper full-length novel. My goal is to finish it from beginning to end in 2016! Readers, come on in!

Teaser 1: Sure enough, he had disliked her from the very beginning. In his world, she was a complete outsider, a visitor from another realm. His dislike had no cause and no destination. He couldn't explain it or put it into words.

Teaser 2: By a twist of fate, Xia's father, with no blood ties to her at all, adopted her. Ultimately, she could live a comfortable life in the castle only because of a stranger's fleeting pity. How could she expect fairness or justice? Xia Shaoan was different. No matter what, he was the young master of the castle, its future master. Though Xia's father didn't seem particularly fond of him, blood was thicker than water. When two children of unequal standing quarreled, it seemed obvious which way Xia's father's heart would tilt.
