Guo'er had a pretty good background, didn't she?
Her father was an official, and she had once been a young lady from an official's family.
Unfortunately, her family was wiped out overnight when she was only seven or eight.
After that, she was sent to Mianliu Pavilion. With an ordinary face, she spent seven years doing menial work.
Ask her how these years have been, and she'll smile and tell you, "Pretty good."
Ask her when she was happiest, and she'll tell you very quietly, "When Mr. Ji came to the pavilion to play the qin."
Yes, everyone knows that Guo'er likes Mr. Ji.
And Mr. Ji? Of course he knows too.
He only pretends not to know.
