He Bloomed After We Cuddled [Ancient to Modern]

[My new novel, You and I Were Never Meant to Be, So I'll Just Keep Clinging to You, is now out~] Song Hongdou has lived for nineteen years without a sense of taste, and every day has been bland as cardboard. That is, until she finds Duan Lingyou, a third prince who is a water-lily spirit from another world. She discovers that whenever she gets close to him, she regains one of her senses of taste. To enjoy delicious food, Song Hongdou clings to Duan Lingyou every day. At first, the refined and abstinent third prince won't let her get close. No problem! Song Hongdou figures out what he likes. Isn't he a flower? Every day, she prepares new flavors of fertilizer for him. Can't sleep? She burns incense and recites sutras for him... At last, Duan Lingyou reluctantly lets her cling to him. As she keeps clinging to him, Song Hongdou realizes he's no longer reluctant. He even makes handmade candies to toss her and takes her to look at the moon among the flowers. What does it mean? She can't figure it out, but she notices that every time they cuddle, along with her gradually returning sense of taste, there's a feeling stirring between them. Having watched countless dramas, Song Hongdou suddenly gets it. Ah, this indescribable feeling is first love! But she doesn't know if he feels the same, and after tossing and turning all night, she decides to break through the awkward silence. So, on a dark and windy night, she brings a huge pile of premium fertilizer and invites Duan Lingyou to the rooftop to confess. But while she waits, she suddenly learns a secret. A Divine Glazed Water Lily blooms when its heart is stirred by love. Before she can celebrate for even a second, she sees the rest of the secret: for anyone under the curse, blooming means death. She looks up at Duan Lingyou across from her. The flower bud on his chest is quietly opening. And wouldn't you know it, he is under that very curse. Refined, abstinent water-lily spirit third prince x tasteless, goofy girl Reader's Guide: 1. Ancient fantasy and modern worlds: the two parallel worlds are connected, and the female lead will also transmigrate between them. The story moves back and forth, with the modern world as the main setting. Happy ending. 2. The ancient fantasy world is fictional. The author's logic isn't especially airtight, but I'm working on it. I hope everyone enjoys the story. Blurb for my new novel, You and I Were Never Meant to Be, So I'll Just Keep Clinging to You: As a silk tree flower, Sang Hehuan's greatest dream is to bloom. But she unexpectedly contracts a rare case of withering syndrome. Her leaves dry up, her roots rot, and she's about to die. Then she hears of an unusual remedy: find a compatible guardian and cling to them every day, and she can come back to life. When she arrives on Silver Star as an exchange student, the first person she sets her sights on is the handsome campus heartthrob, Duan Sheli. But she also offends the hardest-to-deal-with boy right away, and he has a fear of flowers. What can she do? Luckily, she's full of schemes, finding all kinds of seemingly accidental, fate-ordained occasions to cling to Duan Sheli, leaving him unable to dodge her or his fear. When a sudden rainstorm breaks out, she's the first to hold an umbrella over him. When he falls ill, she stays by his side, fussing over him and asking after his health. When he can't sleep at night, she wraps him in her last remaining leaves, claiming that silk tree flowers can ease anxiety and promote restful sleep... When her year as an exchange student ends, Sang Hehuan has recovered as she wished. She sprouts again, grows leaves... and even blooms the flower she has dreamed of. Satisfied, she considers her mission accomplished and stops looking for chances to cling to him. On the day she's packing to return to her home planet, the boy rushes after her, embarrassed and flustered. He grabs Sang Hehuan's hand, his face red and his heart racing: "You've taken advantage of me for a whole year, and now you think you can just leave?" Reader's Guide: 1.
