A timid, delicate beauty x a mad minister who bites everyone he meets
Seven-year-old Song Ruannuan was as timid as a sesame seed, and so delicate she seemed to break at the slightest touch. Orphaned young, she was surrounded by wolves eager to get their hands on her enormous inheritance, so she had no choice but to seek refuge with her uncle's family. Fortunately, her maternal grandmother was still there to protect her.
One day, while climbing a tree for fun, she dropped the jade pendant her mother had left her into the neighboring courtyard. There was a dog hole in the wall. As Song Ruannuan lowered her head and crawled through, she came face to face with a pair of bloodshot, vicious eyes glaring at her.
She fell on her bottom in fright and had nightmares for days.
Later, she discovered that the neighbor wasn't an evil ghost, but a poor older boy. He never got enough to eat, and his mother even beat him.
Although he had a bad temper and was frighteningly fierce, he returned her pendant, so she still shared some of her favorite food with him.

Xie Yun was the eldest son of the second branch of the Ningguo Duke's household, yet he lived worse than a servant. His birth mother despised him, his grandmother disliked him, and if he died, he would be left to rot alone in some corner.
Then one day, a jade pendant fell and struck him on the head, and a little girl as soft as a snowball forced her way into his world.
The snowball was delicate, timid, and prone to crying. Her tears flooded the entire dark world of his youth.
For the sake of her sobbed, trembling "I'm scared," he gritted his teeth and clawed his way to the peak of power, even when covered in blood.
All of it was just so he could cross that high wall and hold her when she cried.
Bonus scene:
The third time Song Ruannuan was bullied into tears by her cousin.
Xie Yun pinched her cheek and scolded her fiercely: "Song Ruannuan! Song Ruosuo! You're brave enough to cry to me, so why aren't you brave enough to stand up to her?!!"
Song Ruannuan wiped her tears and snot all over Xie Yun's clothes, then rubbed her hands together pitifully. "But my cousin is older than me..."
Xie Yun: "..."
Xie Yun, frustrated with her: "She's only three days older than you!!"
