When Fu Lanruo, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Fu from the capital, married the heir of the Marquis of Liu in a lavish procession, Song Yang was at home, cracking sunflower seeds and watching the show.
Song Yang dreamed that she was in a storybook. The heroine was Fu Lanruo, fair-skinned and beautiful, adored by everyone, with nearly every handsome man as her prey.
Yet even after getting married, she kept getting involved with the young masters of various capital families, and divorced a few years later.
Later, Fu Lanruo became pregnant and used her power to choose the honest male lead, Lord Li, the Grand Secretary, to raise another man's child. She lived out the rest of her life in glory and riches.
Meanwhile, Song Yang, a minor, thirty-eighth-line passerby far away in Ling'an, was polishing a little piece of jade and learning the art of jade carving from her father.
As she ran her little shop, Song Yang counted her money, delighted. Let the rest of you have earth-shattering love and hate. I just want to inherit the family business and become a little rich lady~
A few days later, Song Yang heard that a family had moved in next door: her maternal aunt and her family.
It so happened that her mother was planning to find her a match, and her refined and handsome step-cousin was supposedly the one she was to marry.
Curious, Song Yang climbed onto the wall in the middle of the night to sneak a peek.
On the other side of the wall, snow and wind swirled. Beneath the eaves, the courtyard was blanketed in snow, and the corner of someone's robe fluttered.
Her step-cousin's lashes were dusted with snow. He was pristine and otherworldly.
Her foot slipped, and in the moonlight Song Yang lost her balance and fell into someone's arms.
Li Yuansheng, the honest male lead, raised an eyebrow. "Throwing yourself into my arms?"
Song Yang's pretty little face froze in shock. Even the sunflower seeds fell from her mouth. The honest man who was supposed to raise someone else's child was my fiance!

In his previous life, Li Yuansheng had a woman he cherished above all others. She lived only in his dreams and never appeared in reality.
Raised in a Taoist temple from childhood, every night he dreamed strange dreams of entanglement with women. To sever himself from such thoughts, he embarked on a path of renouncing all love and desire.
In his previous life, the new emperor was still young when he ascended the throne. Entrusted by the late emperor, Grand Secretary Li Yuansheng carried the young emperor on his shoulders and struggled to keep the court running for more than ten years.
Ten years later, when the new emperor took power, he turned against Li. When Li Yuansheng died, the only one by his side was the little girl from his dreams.
In this life, Li Yuansheng moved to Ling'an with his stepmother. With his own eyes, he saw the charming little girl from his dreams standing right before him, smiling brightly.
A spark of fire appeared in his cool eyes. In this life, she must and could only be his.

1. One-on-one romance, both virgins, sweet and indulgent. The heroine dreams of the storybook but has no memories of her previous life. The hero is reborn.
2. The heroine's storybook and the hero's experiences don't quite match. In his previous life, the hero was alone all his life, and the heroine existed in his dreams.
