When Xie Huaichuan was little, he had a childhood sweetheart.
The little girl was called Hua Yuze. She had a lovely name and was even prettier. Xie Huaichuan chased away the brats in the alley who threw stones at her and called her a blue-eyed monster, bandaged her wounds, and invited her to his home when her elders were nowhere to be found.
As they spent more and more time together, sharing meals and even a home, Xie Huaichuan and the girl grew close. Seeing the two children inseparable all day, Xie's mother teased him, saying they might as well go to the Hua family that very day and arrange a betrothal for them.
Two years later, little Aze was moving away. Xie Huaichuan went to see her off.
Before leaving, his little Aze wore the earrings and jade bracelet he had given her, kissed his flushed cheek, and said:
"...I'll wait for you to marry me when you grow up, Brother Huaichuan."
.
Ten years later, Xie Huaichuan moved to the capital and joined the Court of Judicial Review. He solved one bizarre case after another, but still thought about his childhood sweetheart and fiancee.
Then, while investigating his latest case, he met a man wearing a silver mask. The man was a mystery, but he repeatedly protected Xie Huaichuan and helped him solve the case.
Xie Huaichuan found him strange and somehow familiar, especially his eyes. They looked so familiar.
"Brother, thanks for all your help along the way. Take these treasures as a token of my gratitude. Until we meet again."
With the case successfully solved, Xie Huaichuan clasped his hands in thanks and prepared to say goodbye. But the man frowned.
"I don't want this stuff."
Xie Huaichuan asked, confused, "Then what do you want?"
The man took his hand. "Marry me."
"???"
Seeing Xie Huaichuan stare at him in shock, the man looked even more aggrieved.
"You promised me when we were little! Are you going to go back on your word?"
As he spoke, the man removed his mask, revealing a pair of beautiful, rare blue eyes and a teardrop mole.
"Brother Huaichuan, have you forgotten me?"
Xie Huaichuan: "!???"
...How could his childhood sweetheart and fiancee be a man!?
