[Feigns innocence x A true gentleman]
--"There's a cinnabar-red mark in my heart. I want it but cannot have it, and I lie awake at night."
Nian'an was five when she ended up on the streets. Pei Huan took her home, and she became his sister's adopted daughter.
Pei Huan taught her to read and write, to understand right and wrong, and not to be afraid of anything because her uncle was there.
Later, after her adoptive mother died, Pei Huan weathered the depths alone and rose to prominence. Even then, he still told her, "Don't be afraid. I won't leave you."
Nian'an remembered every word he said.
When she turned fifteen, she fell in love with the man she had called "Uncle" for more than ten years.
Wanting him but unable to have him, she lay awake at night.
So she tossed and turned, and resorted to any means necessary.
She threw every lesson he'd taught her about right and wrong out the window and put herself to the test.
She shattered his steadfast restraint and devotion to propriety, and got what she wanted.
The Imperial Tutor Pei Huan was upright and principled, brilliantly gifted, and widely considered the ideal gentleman of his age. He had the rules of propriety carved into his very bones.
The only reckless thing he did in his life was marry the girl he'd raised for more than ten years, the one who had once called him Uncle.
Ten miles of wedding finery, and the whole city was in an uproar.
Yet years later, when a friend asked if he regretted marrying her, Pei Huan lowered his eyes and smiled without answering. Only boundless tenderness filled his gaze. "As for the word 'regret,' I speak from my heart. The one my heart desires is right here before me."
#If she were a demon, Pei Huan would be her Buddha
He lets her grow spoiled with his affection, free to do as she pleases in his heart.
[Ten-year age gap; the romance begins after the heroine's coming-of-age ceremony at fifteen]
[No blood relation. The hero's feelings grow from affection into love, but he feels no romantic love before their family ties are severed.]
Coming soon:
Woohoo, why, I really understand v. . . . . Uncomfortable...
This book is simply a hidden gem in the ocean. I am so lucky to be able to read it. I am so happy. The storyline is complete, the relationship progresses step by step, and the writing is perfect. I especially like the author's writing, which is antique and really amazing. I like the characters of the male and female protagonists very much, and the names of the male and female protagonists are also very nice. The pronunciation, shape and meaning of the names are perfect. This book has won my heart in almost every aspect. I love it so much. The interaction between the male and female protagonists is very well described, very detailed, and it naturally creates a sense of atmosphere between the male and female protagonists. The description of the psychological changes of the male and female protagonists is very delicate, and you can feel the emotional flow between them; the emotional changes are also gradual, not too fast, not too slow, just let it take its course. Regardless of the writing style, whether it is the scene or the description of the emotion, it was written in my heart, as if I was immersed in the scene, and the pictures naturally appeared in my mind. I hope the author can add a few extra chapters to make this book even more complete. After the additions, they can all be used as new articles to recommend to new readers. It is really a good article. I hope more people can read it, and it is worth discovering by more people.
Dad, will you come back to write?
Damn, please don't stop writing like this. Without a happy ending, this novel will become the Great Rift Valley in my heart. It really hurts my baby. T_T
The ending is so good, why didn't I write it again? .
No, I really solved V. I still want to see the follow-up.
Dear, I will never forget you and have hope in my heart. Can you fulfill my wish?
Damn, I want a happy ending, but I can't get it right now, and I can't sleep at night T_T
Oh my god, I will never forget it and want it to be complete~
I hope you'll think about it again and don't give up like this. It's really hard to finish a story you like so much. T_T
