Spring Waters Sway

[Please do not copy. Infringement will be pursued.] It was only natural that He Zheng detested Yun Ying. She was the Yun family's only legitimate daughter, lost and found again, the cherished jewel of this illustrious household, where she could have anything her way. As soon as she returned, she clung to him at every opportunity. Then, after a carefully arranged "accident," the Yun and He families hastily married them off. She was beautiful and gentle, and indulged all his wicked whims. No matter how humiliating his words were, she would accept them with a calm smile, then tip her head up to kiss him and murmur, "Brother Xiaoyu, don't be angry." He Zheng's courtesy name was Qiyu. She had started calling him that without permission, and it had annoyed him for a long time. He thought he and Yun Ying would torment each other until the bitter end. Until one day, at a palace banquet, the newly appointed jinshi who had risen to fame overnight stood below the platform, attracting everyone's attention. Including Yun Ying. She stood straight-backed, gazing fixedly at him. She didn't even hear He Zheng calling her. He Zheng looked at the newly crowned top scholar. He looked seven parts like him. He had heard the man's surname was Ning, and his given name was Yu. One-on-one + happy ending + first love Gentle blade x big bad wolf Coming next: "Matchmaker": A shy sweetheart and her aloof imperial brother Blurb One Xia Yi was adopted by the imperial family when she was young. The emperor took pity on her and granted her the title of Princess Jiashan. The little princess was mild-mannered and reserved, and bad at socializing. She rarely appeared in public. The person she knew best was the Crown Prince, her older brother, who had grown up with her. At a palace banquet, Xia Yi caught a glimpse of the most talked-about eldest son of the Xie family and fell for him at first sight. She heard that her imperial brother was close to him, so she hurried to the Eastern Palace to ask for help. Her brother said, "If you want to pursue someone, you should seduce him first." The little princess frowned and asked seriously, "What do you mean?" Her brother thought for a moment. "Come here, I'll show you. First, come over and give me a kiss." The little princess: o.O Blurb Two Xie Xu was born into a prominent family and was peerlessly handsome. In the capital, only the aloof and solitary Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace could rival him. He and the Crown Prince hit it off at first sight. Xie Xu had secretly admired Princess Jiashan for years. After returning to the capital one day, he heard that the little princess was very close to the Crown Prince, so he humbly asked for advice on how to win her heart. When the Crown Prince heard, he took the matter very seriously and gave Xie Xu advice at every turn. Though there wasn't much progress at first, surely having the Crown Prince play matchmaker would make things twice as easy. But gradually, Xie Xu noticed that he was seeing the little princess less and less. Then one day, he saw her leaning against the Crown Prince, acting intimate and cooing sweetly. The Crown Prince not only failed to stop her, but put an arm around her waist. Burning with rage, Xie Xu rushed to the Eastern Palace. The Crown Prince leaned back in his chair, looking dignified and relaxed. Unhurriedly, he reassured him, "Don't worry. Everything is under control." Later, Xie Xu really did have nothing to worry about. After the little princess married into the Eastern Palace in grand style, the Crown Prince stood before him with her at his side. The two were deeply in love. The little princess apologized to him. "Lord Xie, I was young and foolish back then. I'm sorry for bothering you so much. I hope you won't misunderstand." Standing quietly to one side, the Crown Prince shamelessly said, "Don't worry. Zhihuai is broad-minded. He naturally won't hold it against you." Xie Xu: .
