When people talk about Lu Zhihuan, youngest son of the Marquis of Yongning, three things come to mind: utterly useless, good for nothing, and hated by everyone, even dogs.
But he was lucky enough to be born into the marquis's household, a young lord showered with endless affection from birth.
The trouble was that Lu Zhihuan knew how lucky he was. By the age of sixteen, if he could lie down, he would never sit; if he could sit, he would never stand. He was the capital's number-one good-for-nothing and the aristocratic clans' number-one wastrel.
Lu Zhihuan wreaked havoc all over the capital, right up until His Highness Prince Cheng returned victorious from battle.
Lu Zhihuan couldn't afford to offend this prince. To save his own skin, he gritted his teeth and swore an oath: “I will serve Your Highness at your side and remain loyal until death!”
From then on, Lu Zhihuan, who had spent sixteen carefree years, began eking out a living under Zhao Heng. Life was unbearable, and all he could think about was how to stay alive. He didn't notice Zhao Heng's gaze growing more and more complicated.
Once she realized what was happening, she acted at once: packing up her belongings and running away in the middle of the night.

Age seventeen
Chen Yanli volunteered to move her seat to the back three rows. Her excuse was perfectly respectable: as class secretary, she had a responsibility to maintain discipline.
The entire back section was full of unruly troublemakers, and everyone worried Chen Yanli would be corrupted by the company she kept.
But Chen Yanli didn't care. She just wanted to be closer to the taciturn boy. In the uneventful days of high school, he was the one and only time she ever rebelled.
In the dim stone pavilion, Jiang Lin lowered his eyes. He had run through every possible way of rejecting her countless times, but faced with her ardent gaze, all he said was, “Okay.”
The boy didn't know this was the beginning of a lifetime.

Age twenty-four, reunited after years apart.
The taciturn but sincere boy from her memories had become a carefree, frivolous man.
“It's over because we broke up. Or are you hoping to rekindle things? I'm fine with anything...” Jiang Lin gave a careless smile. “Whatever you want.”
Jiang Lin thought she would at least be a little afraid, but she answered him without the slightest hesitation.
She said, “Sure.”
At seventeen and at twenty-four, at either end of those long seven years, Chen Yanli was betting that Jiang Lin loved her.
And every time, she won.
Theme: Work hard to grow stronger and pursue a free life
It took me one day to read it and I stayed up all night. What a great article! It's the kind of good story that made me couldn't help but watch the ending halfway through, and also piqued my interest to go back to the beginning to finish reading. It also made me sincerely involved in the drama, making me cry and laugh at the same time. The writing is very good, and the characters of the protagonist and supporting characters are very lovable. I like the ending where everyone is hesitating the most. They all made me happy! ! ! I cried many times while watching the drama between Big Sister and Cai Lan. It's a pity that the ending is a bit rushed, and the extra chapter doesn't include the princess and Xiao Jiang chapter that I'm most looking forward to QAQ. But it looks really good, thank you so much!
A rare good article to come across recently
Hahahahahahaha, it's like coming out as gay in public but not coming out as gay 233
Like, like, like, except that the dog male protagonist is not likeable, this article is so good.
This article is really beautiful, warm and cute. It has been so long and I can still remember how I felt when I followed the updates every day.
