Naturally melancholic soft girl × possessive daddy
On the day she came of age,
Li Zhi was found by her biological parents, who had already moved abroad.
After meeting her older brother and the fake heiress younger sister whom her parents favored more, she was sent to another ancient building.
Her parents urged Li Zhi to be obedient and well-behaved, and not to anger Mr. Carion.
Li Zhi looked up at the castle before her and dutifully replied, "I'll remember."
-
Mr. Carion was an eccentric man.
At their first meeting, he sat on a sofa in an ornate study.
Light and shadow divided his face, leaving his profile in shadow. He was aloof and refined. He lifted his eyes to look at Li Zhi, his pale irises catching the interplay of light and shadow as he regarded her with calm scrutiny.
Under Carion's cool gaze, Li Zhi quietly lowered her eyes.
She heard his calm, low voice: "Tell me your name."
-
Li Zhi had always followed her parents' instructions.
That is, until her secret was discovered and she suffered a brief bout of amnesia.
In the dim bedroom, Li Zhi leaned against Carion, gazing out the window with a dazed look.
The man behind her ran a hand over her long hair and asked softly, "Zhizhi, do you want to know what we are to each other?"
Li Zhi's pupils shifted slightly. She answered in a soft voice, "We are..."
She turned her face toward Carion. His breath was distinct against her ear, and his voice was low and composed.
Carion said, "We're lovers."
He gave a quiet chuckle. "Zhizhi, remember that."
Theme: Forget, then move forward.
