They both have flaws; nobody is perfect. A Wish for You Lan Yin's mother died when she was young, and her father disappeared. No one in the family was willing to take her in, so she had no choice but to follow her exiled maternal grandmother to the northern frontier. Later, after the army suffered a defeat on the northern frontier, Lan Yin saved a proud, defiant young man. His sharp black eyes made him look like a trapped beast bristling with spines, but her kindness gradually softened his edges. Two years later, Lan Yin was summoned back to the capital by her family to become a good-luck bride for the gravely ill Marquis of Changning. There, she unexpectedly met the young man again. At the time, the elders told him to call her “Mother.” Lan Yin always thought Pei Qingyu hated, despised, and resented her. He refused to acknowledge her as his mother and never called her “Mother,” simply because she had taken his mother's place. Later, Pei Qingyu rose to become a prince, while the Marquis's household fell amid political power struggles. Lan Yin became a widow, and everyone waited to see how this newly elevated prince would humiliate her. But no one knew that in the prince's residence, beneath the warm, drooping bed curtains, the man who had shed his youthful innocence would clasp her wrist, restrain himself as he pressed a kiss to her swanlike neck, and whisper hoarsely: “Please, look at me.” ** Lan Yin married Pei Xuan, knowing his heart belonged to someone from his past. She never hoped for anything more. She devoted herself to searching for her father and saving others, and to clearing the names of those from her past. But Pei Xuan gave her warmth, allowing her to glimpse a ray of light in the long, wintry nights of the Da Rong dynasty and strengthening her resolve to pursue her ideals. Until, before Chongwen Hall, she held Pei Xuan's corpse in her arms and watched the snow bury the long steps. A gale destroyed the last vestige of conscience in the world, and the body in her arms grew colder by the moment. Then he came, the boy she had once doted on, walking toward her beneath an umbrella. He stood before the steps, his deep voice cutting through the blizzard and piercing her ears. He said, “Get up.” “Even if tens of thousands stand in our way, I will face them with you.” ** When they first met, she was the one who saved his life and gave him a warmth he had never known. When they met again, she was his mother in name. His longing became a selfish demand, but he never crossed the line. Later, he cast off his family identity and became a prince, earning the world's contempt. They called him cold and ungrateful, and said he had taken the opposite side from her. They had never been on the same path, but their separate roads would always lead them to the same place. Many years later, snow fell again before Chongwen Hall. Pei Qingyu stood behind Lan Yin as she looked out at the vast world. Words he had kept in his heart for years scattered into the wind and snow: “I hope you'll see me, and I hope you won't.” ** We loved each other across mountains and seas. The world took a long time to find out. But I didn't mind., Pei Qingyu / Li Chenyue The title, A Wish for You, comes from Su Shi's line, “Someone returns, and I find myself wishing for you.” It means that seeing someone return makes you think of the one you love. 1. The woman is older than the man. 2. The male lead is Pei Qingyu. [In this story, “male lead” means the person who ends up with the female lead.] 3. Happy ending, but the female lead may not fall for the male lead first. The male lead is devoted to the female lead in both body and heart. That's right, another story about a devoted, virtuous man. 4. The male lead and the supporting male character are not related by blood, so there is no ethical relationship between the male lead and female lead. They also won't be romantically involved while that relationship is in effect. 5. The female lead is neither reborn nor has she transmigrated. She doesn't have modern-day knowledge, and she's rather gentle. If that's not your thing, don't read it. 6. The pacing is slow, with a gentle, steady flow. New clues will be revealed as the story unfolds. Theme: Love that flows gently and steadily lasts the longest
