The main story is complete. The author's other novel, Original Bloom, is currently updating.
Highly recommend the author's completed novel, The Star of the Household.
(1)
Shi Yan secretly dated Zhou Yin, the second young master of the Zhou family, right under his family's nose for seven years.
Their families were too far apart in status, and their forbidden relationship gradually lost its appeal. At last, with his parents arranging things for him, Zhou Yin began falling for a wealthy beauty with an interesting personality and impressive knowledge. Their secret romance was on the verge of collapse.
Heartbroken, Shi Yan got drunk one night and was unexpectedly rescued by Zhou Chen, whom she hadn't seen in years.
Zhou Chen was Zhou Yin's eldest cousin.
Years ago, he had caught Shi Yan and Zhou Yin on their first secret date.
The Zhou family's eldest son and grandson was eccentric and outrageous, the person all the younger generation feared most.
When they were children, nothing scared them more than hearing, “Zhou Yin, your eldest cousin is here.”
Shi Yan had gotten involved with the one person she was most afraid to provoke.

One day, while arranging flowers, Mrs. Zhou handed Shi Yan a few sprigs of eucalyptus and asked her to choose flowers to go with them.
Shi Yan picked several white peonies, symbols of elegance, wealth, and noble restraint, to match Mrs. Zhou.
Mrs. Zhou was clearly pleased. A little while later, however, she smiled meaningfully and said, “You chose lovely peonies, but these leaves are rather unimpressive. They don't quite do justice to the flowers' elegance.”
As she spoke, Mrs. Zhou removed the eucalyptus and replaced it with several pink peonies. Finally satisfied, she said, “Peonies can only be matched with peonies, and only peonies are worthy of peonies. Yan Yan, don't you agree?”
After that, Shi Yan never touched a peony again.
She was the eucalyptus leaf that had been removed.
Many years later, someone planted an entire peony garden just for her, then picked the flowers one by one and used them all to draw her a bath. He told her, “Even the most precious flowers in the world are only fit to be used in your bath.”
Theme: A relationship failed because she hadn't yet found the one that suited her best.
I read this book while waiting for the update of "The Green Mountain Hit Me". I like the author's writing style and the direction of the story, but generally the things I like are unrealistic. For example, the love between the housekeeper's daughter and the young master is like an old Taiwanese idol drama. We like it because we have never experienced it. But there is one idea in the article that sisters can still learn from in reality, that is, Shi Yan gave up on Zhou Yin. I strongly support it. You may think that giving up on a relationship after seven years is scumbag. But if it were you who had been in an underground relationship for seven years and couldn't be admitted on the stage, would you still be willing to continue this relationship? Maybe friends around him know that, but marriage is a matter between two families, which shows that Zhou Yin is actually very immature, even irresponsible. It can be seen from his behavior and hobbies that the gap between the two has existed from the beginning. Is Zhou Yin not clear about it? But he hasn't made any efforts in seven years. Can Shi Yan change this so-called class difference on his own? It is wonderful for a boy like Zhou Yin to fall in love, but marriage is not possible. Shi Yan is very smart and knows what is suitable for her. I think this is why she can let go so quickly. It is not that she doesn't like Zhou Yin, but that she is "heartbroken" when facing the reality. Fortunately, Shi Yan is very lucky and has met someone who can be entrusted with her life. I would like to advise all sisters that girls can be independent and self-reliant, and they can take the lead and solve everything by themselves. But when it comes to love, we must be "weak and unable to take care of ourselves" little women. Every girl deserves to be held in the palm of our hands and treated with tenderness. Finally, what about the post-marriage life chapter that the author promised? This is very dishonest and very disappointing, after all, we all paid to watch it.
Can you complete the postscript and include a post-marriage extra?
This is the most tragic male lead I have ever seen. He obviously did nothing wrong, but because he was young and did not know the little thoughts of the female lead, he lost his beloved. But, how should I put it, the underlying factor is that the heroine doesn't love him enough.
In other words, Zhou Chen was actually attracted to the heroine seven years ago, and then he was caught by the heroine's mother, so he timidly gave in. Combined with the extra story, he actually knew that it was the heroine, and it can be said that he really stole his love with a knife. Zhou Yin was very sad. The heroine, who had already lost his feelings for him, completely failed under the catalyst of the eldest cousin who fought against the heroine and Yao who deliberately hated the heroine.
Sighing, after all, the heroine and Zhou Yin are not suitable for each other. Yes, the heroine is dominant, but it is also the heroine who cares and guides Zhou Yin. However, the heroine who has been lonely since childhood hopes to have a lover who can take care of each other, so the same willful and self-willed woman becomes an obstacle, but the ending is different. I hope Zhou Yin can come out of it as soon as possible, but it is difficult. After all, after seven years of relationship, he needs to love the heroine even more, but he should come out as soon as possible. He is good and I don't want him to be miserable and lonely all the time. When I read the book, what I don't like the most is that the second male lead or the daughter has to spend his whole life alone for the male and female lead. Since the male and female lead are happy, why should the second male lead and the second female lead have to pay for the rest of their lives if they lose their lives.
After waiting for so long, the extra story mentioned in the copywriting has not come out.
It sucks. I will never follow this author again.
If we were to be realistic, the heroine would be a complete tragedy. You should cherish yourself even if you are falling out of love.
Why is there no postscript about the marriage?
Although it is slow, I still can't help but watch it every time.
