Everyone in Shengjing believed that the person Wen Xuefei had a secret crush on was Wei Zixing, the top scholar in the capital.
Wei Zixing, however, couldn't stand Wen Xuefei, the pretty but foolish young lady. He was in love with her biological older sister instead.
But Wen Xuefei had saved the emperor, earning an imperial decree allowing her to request a reward.
Everyone guessed she would ask the emperor to arrange her marriage to Wei Zixing. The emperor had heard the rumors too, and brought it up at a banquet. Wei Zixing's face turned pale, and he couldn't hide the disdain in his eyes.
Who would have expected Wen Xuefei's eyes to tremble slightly? She raised a hand and pointed toward the seat closest to the emperor, speaking in a tiny voice.
"I beg Your Majesty to arrange a marriage for me."
"Your subject's daughter has long held feelings for the heir of the Gu family."
Gu Changsi.
The first young heir in the history of Great Yan to receive the title of Great General at the age of seventeen.
The "unattainable flower on a high peak" that the noble young ladies of Shengjing would never even dare dream of.
Ever since saving the emperor, Wen Xuefei had felt as if she had forgotten something. One day, she came across the "Secret Love Journal" she had written and realized with a shock that she had forgotten who she liked.
But the moment she looked inside, she froze. How could she have fallen for... Gu Changsi? And so madly that she would rather die than marry anyone else? Afraid she might kill herself once her memories returned, Wen Xuefei broke through her usual reserve and took the initiative to approach Gu Changsi.
Gu Changsi, however, was far too cold.
She cooked for him, but he only glanced at the food before his face turned cold.
She gave him a scented sachet, but he refused it.
Until the emperor asked her what reward she wanted. Wen Xuefei squeezed her eyes shut and steeled herself. Even a forcibly picked melon could be sweet, so she begged the emperor to arrange her marriage to Gu Changsi.
She had assumed Gu Changsi would look furious, but unexpectedly...
The corners of his thin lips lifted slightly, and he gently nodded.
Later...
Wen Xuefei finally learned the truth.
Gu Changsi had looked cold because he was upset that she had hurt herself while cooking.
He had refused the sachet because the embroidery on it meant "friendship."
[You don't need to tell me if you're dropping the novel. Everyone has different tastes in writing, and there's no need to lecture me. Thank you, everyone.]
[There's a reading guide in the author's note for Chapter One. Please take a look.]
[The Secret Love Journal is wrong. The female lead didn't write it.]
[On the surface, the female lead pursues the male lead, but he's secretly been in love with her for years.]
[Gentle, pampered beauty X cold, unattainable young heir. The female lead isn't foolish or just a pretty face, but she isn't especially clever either.]

Blurb:
Yu Wanwan had dreamed the same dream since childhood. In it, she eloped with Lin Chaoshen, her former fiancé and a powerful minister who had fled the capital. She lost her virtue, and her loving father had no choice but to help the faction supporting Lin Chaoshen's chosen candidate, the First Prince, fight for the throne.
But after the First Prince successfully became emperor and Lin Chaoshen regained his power, he married the woman he had always loved and made Yu Wanwan his concubine. Yu Wanwan and Lin Chaoshen then went through a torturous love affair that left her voiceless and cost her a child. Her father died on the battlefield, and her brother was not only left disabled but died unjustly. At last, Lin Chaoshen finally realized that Yu Wanwan was the one he loved most. He made her his equal wife, enjoying the blessings of having two wives.
In the dream, Yu Wanwan was also obsessively loved by a deranged antagonist.
Meng Lu, the Grand Commander who commanded three hundred thousand soldiers, held power over the entire court, and was ruthless and merciless.
Meng Lu abducted her three times. Each time, he gripped her wrist, his foxlike eyes filled with a dark, intoxicating haze as he whispered like a lover.
"Marry me, or die with me?"
The Yu Wanwan in the dream refused to give in, even unto death.
But in the end, Meng Lu couldn't bear to let Yu Wanwan die.
Though he knew it was a trap, he handed over his military command and even betrayed his master for Yu Wanwan, all for the sake of her deceptive, insincere promise: "If you hand over your troops and open the city gates, I'll marry you."
As they drank their wedding wine, he knew it was poisoned. But since Yu Wanwan had fed it to him herself, he took a sip and kissed her. Yu Wanwan was startled, thinking Meng Lu meant to make them die together. But he only brushed her lips gently, then smiled and died in her arms.
When Yu Wanwan woke with a start, she remembered Meng Lu, but didn't understand why they had been like that in her dream.
Because she had fallen for him from the very first moment she saw him.
But when the System in the book suppressed her sense of self and forced her to follow the plot, driving her toward eloping with Lin Chaoshen, Yu Wanwan was filled with despair.
Suddenly, a cold hand clamped around her waist, and a voice colder than ice said:
"Wanwan, where do you think you're going?"
Lin Chaoshen, who had arrived a step too late, turned pale.
But the light in Yu Wanwan's eyes, in Meng Lu's arms... suddenly flared bright.
[The female lead gets abducted right at the beginning~]
[In short, it's a story about a deranged male lead abducting the woman he thinks doesn't love him, but who actually loves him dearly.]
[It's fake coercive possession, but really a mutual love story and a tale of redemption.]
[An ancient setting version of the same premise. The idea originated on November 26, 2019. Blurb written on April 6, 2021.]

I've almost watched it, although I haven't watched some of it, but I'm still very heartbroken... Whether it's the relationship between Zhongli and Guanyue, or the relationship between Yanzhi and Xue Fei at the end, it's very sad. What may be able to heal me is that the male and female protagonists have never given up on each other.
I really like the affectionate Gu Gu
It's so beautiful! It's finished!
I finally finished reading it. It was so well written, with two-way secret love, two-way love, and all the endings are destined.
From today onwards, Gu Changsi will be my No.1 Ancient saying
The writing is very good, and the reading process is very comfortable. However, some plots feel a bit rushed, and many foreshadowings can be improved. However, no novel is perfect. It is great. I hope it will get better and better.
So pretty! ! ! I really like this feeling of boiling a frog in warm water! ! ! The author describes the little details that the male protagonist likes some of the female protagonists, which is really sad! ! !
It's very interesting. It's been a long time since I've been able to read a complete novel.
It's been more than two months since the show was completed, and I suddenly received a red envelope from my wife. I was a little confused.
