Twelve-year-old Su Ou and thirteen-year-old Zong Mingjing, one a girl and one a boy, one versed in letters and the other in martial arts.
Su Ou is humble and courteous to everyone, always knowing just how far to go. There is only one exception: from the very first time they met, she has shown him an inexplicable degree of tolerance and protectiveness.
Zong Mingjing is no unruly, arrogant young scion, but in his thirteen years, he has never been so careful around anyone.
He has never openly admitted that he feels wary of, even afraid of, this girl a year younger than him. But he has never let a single thing Su Ou said slip by. Every word is etched in his heart, where he weighs it carefully.
Su Ou became the yardstick by which he measured himself.
Across the river of decades, the way she softly calls him "Mingjing" still carries a hint of tender affection, enough to make Zong Mingjing feel as if the clouds have parted to reveal the sun.
#I Save Every Special Thing for You#
[Growing Together Through Thick and Thin]
Ongoing historical romance: "Beauty Fills the World"
Three men have been part of her life: at times she was innocent, sweet, joyful, heartbroken, helpless, or caught in a passionate entanglement. Whatever the circumstances, her love was always sincere and devoted.
Before the age of fourteen, Yu Tao lived a comfortable life, with a loving father and a filial child. She had never known heartbreak, confusion, or unease.
After turning fourteen, her father died unexpectedly. When someone said he would take her as a concubine, she was left in a desperate and helpless position. To find a way to survive, she entered the musicians' registry despite being born into a respectable family, and became famous throughout the land.
When Shen Zhen first saw her, he watched a fine performance. The girl onstage had a beautiful smile, bewitching and captivating as a fairy.
He fanned himself and laughed. "How foolish. Who could ever trust a fairy's words?"
The girl's lovely face remained calm. "You don't look like a good man either, sir."
The next time they met, she was entangled with someone else again.
Before leaving Shu, Wei Feng had offered to take her away and keep her safe.
She smiled calmly. "General Wei, have you decided to marry me?"
Wei Feng said nothing. That night, she looked at the "document releasing her from the musicians' registry" that had been delivered to her. Her heart was utterly unmoved, perfectly calm.
