Blurb:
An unusual arranged-marriage-to-love story + a reunion after years apart + childhood sweethearts + playing the qin and painting + the everyday bustle of life in ancient times
At the end of spring, in the fourth-month exam, Lu Shining, the painter, passed the imperial examinations at the top and became one of the new jinshi of the spring of Qingping Year Five. Throughout the capital of Dongjing, he was the newly appointed young scholar everyone admired, and a popular choice as a son-in-law for many families. But no one knew that he had long held affection for his childhood sweetheart.
The Song family's daughter, Song Nanjin, was beautiful and clever, gentle and kind. Yet at eighteen, she was still unmarried.
Outsiders speculated that some hidden ailment must have kept her from marrying in the prime of her youth.
After much conjecture, everyone was astonished to learn that the new jinshi, riding high on his recent success, had come to her door with a matchmaker and betrothal gifts to ask for her hand.
Oh, so they had known each other all along. They were childhood sweethearts, reunited after years apart, picking up where they left off.
The leads save and comfort each other, walking side by side.
Their childhood affection stirs each other's hearts once more. He coaxes his wife, and she plays along.
You are the joy of my youth, and the warmth beside me at night.
A few notes before reading:
More plot than romance, with some original worldbuilding. Don't read if that's not for you.
Both leads are sexually inexperienced.
The male lead is slow to catch on at first, but later becomes clingy. The female lead has a temper and her own personality.
This novel is about family and everyday life, with a gentle, gradual pace. Don't read if that's not for you.
One more highlight: This novel moves very slowly, very slowly. Don't read if that's not for you!!!
Both leads are gentle and slow to warm up, and the pace is a little slow. Don't read if that's not for you.
The setting is inspired by the Song Dynasty, but this is a fictional world. The author knows little about history, so please don't read if you like nitpicking historical details.
The author likes to use flowery, literary language. Don't read if that's not for you.
There are sweet and angsty parts, but mostly sweet.
Note: Chapter One is a flashback to events from many years ago, set long before the rest of the story.
Newly revised blurb, May 9, 2023. Screenshot saved.

The ancient saying about power and strategy - "Don't Come to Spring" is being updated. Dear friends, please collect it!! Huahua!!!
The article has been received in advance, please save it!! Huahua!!! ——"There is an Immortal King in the World" Also known as "The Fox King Comes to Patrol the Mountain", "The Fox Fairy's Mental State Is Eight Hundred Years Ahead", "My Fox King Who Mixes in Black and White" ——The arrogant and beautiful Purple Fox Fairy Lord Huo Yi + the sinister and fierce human prince Shen Xunche Copywriting: Not in the human world, Huo Yi is either avoiding the arrest order or on the way to avoid the arrest order. In the human world, Huo Yi happened to be involved in the battle in the imperial city. She had a complaint about why she was so unlucky. In the human world, Huo Yi entered the dungeon three times. She first approached him under the guise of a princess, but Shen Xunche wanted to teach her a lesson and sent her to the dungeon. Later Huo Yi almost strangled him to death. Later, in order to make amends, he gave her a mountain full of brilliant flowers of all colors. Huo Yi proclaimed himself the king of the mountain. Later, when he apologized, he said he would give it to himself. Huo Yizheng was thinking hesitantly, but his kiss had already fallen on his face. This is the story of Huo Yi, the Purple Fox Immortal Lord, who came to the world, brought trouble to the world, and finally saved the world. Love is a matter of conversation.
After seeing this, I still don't know how the heroine's mother and brother died because of the Duke's Palace. I'm really speechless. Why should I be so obscure? I never mentioned it before. Now that the Duke's Palace is out of the capital, why can't I say it? At least give us readers an explanation.
It's a bit boring. I haven't seen the male and female protagonists very often.
How old is the heroine? Sometimes she is ten years old, and sometimes she is the eldest sister who is 15 years old?
Happy birthday to you! (Huahua)
