The thing Ning Xi regrets least is meeting Jiang Jiheng at seventeen: a favored son of heaven, heir to the Jiang family of the imperial capital, and a prominent figure at Huaren Private School.
Ning Xi, who hides behind a mask of indifference and aloofness, stays by the side of Jiang Jiheng, who is just as cold and fierce.
But he tells her that she's a young lady, and can have a personality of her own, do as she pleases, and let no one control her.
On a snowy night, Ning Xi rests a hand on Jiang Jiheng's shoulder and smiles gently. "Jiang Jiheng, if I want to do as I please, can I do it now?"
He gazes at her, his low, hoarse voice turning to a quiet laugh as she kisses him.
Later, on a night of torrential rain, just before they are about to part, Ning Xi stands helplessly on the wet steps. Jiang Jiheng is the first to reach out to her.
"Young lady," he calls her as usual, his tone as carefree as ever. "Want to elope with me?"
*
They part at eighteen.
As adults, a contract binds them in marriage.
Ning Xi is caught up in an unexpected scandal. At a dazzling manor, Jiang Jiheng appears without warning.
Outsiders don't know their marriage exists. Knowing Jiang Jiheng doesn't love her, they are all waiting to watch Ning Xi make a fool of herself.
But Jiang Jiheng simply walks up to her and reaches out, just as he did back then. His tone is unbearably tender, nothing like his usual cold and arrogant self.
"Young lady," he says with a smile. "Have you been waiting for me long?"
Ning Xi only manages to glance up at him. "So you do know how to come find me?"
Jiang Jiheng lifts a brow and smiles casually. "My darling's about to kick me out of the house. How could I not come?"
Everyone gasps! What is going on?!
No one could have imagined that the paths of seventeen-year-old Ning Xi and nineteen-year-old Jiang Jiheng, so vastly different, would eventually converge.
Youth is an addiction; adulthood, a longing.
You are the most precious treasure I could never forget.

Hahahaha, I have a strong desire to survive.
I have read this novel for the fourth time. The last comment was from 2022. I have always liked the line between Ning Shiyu and Qin Ying. Brothers and sisters really don't match up well! And Mianmian and Lu Bieyan! When I first read it, I thought that one of the two couples should be able to publish a book on their own. It is a pity that there is too little description of Shiyu and Yingying in the book. I wonder if the author can read this comment. He especially likes to pull the sour energy of love. Xiao tide and Jiang Jiheng must be happy forever.
"Buy" is a big bug for the author~ Not selling umbrellas
