In Those Youthful Days, Spring Robes Were Thin

More or less an ancient-school danmei story, with a (pseudo) rekindled romance and a friends-with-benefits-to-true-love plot.

(I'm still thinking about the blurb.)

Reading guide

1. A dashing, carefree young man as the shou x a refined, elegant gong who seems aloof but is a violent obsessive on the inside

2. Both are virgins

3. Romance-focused, with a not-too-complicated political intrigue subplot

4. "In those days, I was young, in thin spring robes. Riding horseback, leaning on a bridge, I drew red-sleeved beauties from every floor." - Wei Zhuang, "Bodhisattva Barbarian"

Theme: Love life.
