[Complete] Please leave a rating on the right side of the comments section, everyone. Sending you love~ “Weibo: @Jiang Luoluo Ya. Coming soon: Exclusive Possession, Trial Marriage, and Stirring Your Heartstrings.” In Nancheng, there was a beauty in a cheongsam, with skin like ice and bones like jade, delicate and graceful. Every frown and smile of hers was full of charm. Sheng Jinglan fell for Wen Ci at first sight. He invited her on outings, took her to experience the extremes, and showed her the colorful world. His favorite thing was to hold the spotless beauty in the crook of his arm and tease her until her cheeks turned as red as the clouds. Wen Ci was both shy and annoyed. “Sheng Jinglan, you shameless man.” Sheng Jinglan held her slender waist and kissed her bright, limpid eyes. “Mm, and I'm despicable, too.” - Born into a family of scholars, Wen Ci had always been disciplined and proper. The most outrageous thing she'd ever done was drink too much with Sheng Jinglan inside a covered boat. The alcohol warmed her, and the rippling water shattered into fragments. A few months later, Wen Ci said they should end their ambiguous relationship. Sheng Jinglan smiled and agreed, then secretly crushed a teacup in his hand. He bet that Wen Ci couldn't forget him, only to turn around and see her going everywhere with her childhood sweetheart. That night, Sheng Jinglan stood by the door to Wen Ci's bedroom, his collar open, his enchanting peach-blossom eyes raised. “Baby, I've changed my mind.” That night, Wen Ci took out all her anger on him without holding back. The next day, she found Sheng Jinglan sitting in the Wen family living room in a sharp suit. Shamelessly, he told her grandmother, “I fell in love with Qinqing at first sight. I've come to formally ask for her hand.” Qinqing was her childhood nickname. The Wen family valued tradition, and Wen Ci loved traditional culture. To marry her, the freewheeling Sheng Jinglan promised her a grand bridal sedan and all the traditional betrothal rites. -I'd lose myself, body and soul, for you [Bonus Scene] “When embroidering a piece, choosing a comfortable base fabric and smooth, supple thread is essential...” On the opening day of the Suzhou embroidery studio Wen Ci had founded on her own, a video of her in a cheongsam was posted online and went viral overnight. Wen Ci was invited to give a talk at an event promoting the preservation of intangible cultural heritage, and photographers crowded around the stage. Sheng Jinglan had been away restoring bronze artifacts at a museum in another city. He arrived in a rush, still covered in dust from the road, and his identity was revealed. Reporters held out microphones and livestreamed their interview. “Mr. Sheng, are you also interested in Suzhou embroidery?” The internationally renowned artifact restorer turned the wedding ring on his left hand before the cameras, his voice brimming with pride. “My wife is.” [Reading Guide] 1.
