The Scion and the Little Peach Blossom

One-line summary: You think this is a whim, but in truth, I've been planning it for a long time.

Shao Mengtao is the butcher's youngest daughter. She is dark, ugly, and scrawny, and people sneer at and mock her. Yet there is one person willing to treat her kindly: a handsome, fair-skinned young nobleman from Chang'an who has come here to recuperate.

From that day on, she gradually grows close to the young nobleman, while everyone mocks her for dreaming of marrying above her station.

Someone asks him, "Do you like that dark-skinned girl?"

The young nobleman scoffs. "Who would like that ugly girl? She's nothing compared to the girls in Chang'an."

Little Mengtao looks at the person before her, heartbroken, and walks away.

A few years later, the girl has gone to the capital, where Shao Mengtao runs into that young nobleman from long ago:

Ji Jingze, heir to the Duke's estate.

The moment Ji Jingze sees her, he can't take his eyes off her. He follows her around, calling her his fairy sister, shamelessly pestering her.

Watching the young woman blossom into such graceful beauty, Ji Jingze feels as if his soul has left his body and returned.

"Little Peach Blossom, you're here!" The playboy drops his carefree act, pulls her into his arms, and grins like a blooming chrysanthemum.

"We're not close, Your Lordship. Keep your distance."

Ji Jingze watches Little Peach Blossom smile brightly at another man, overcome with regret. He wants to strangle his past self for running his mouth back then.

Little Peach Blossom is delicate and beautiful. She is the treasure he's carefully cherished for years. How could he let anyone else covet her?

#Sharp, capable, sweet-tempered yet fierce Little Peach Blossom x seemingly carefree, secretly cunning playboy

#Both are inexperienced and devoted only to each other

#He pursues his wife to the crematorium. The male lead is a bit dense, but Ji Jingze will come around.
