[My next book will be Summer Confession! A campus story with a slight ensemble cast. If you're interested, add it to your favorites!]
People say that Su Ci'an, the beautiful and cool-headed owner of the Liyuan opera house, is like a celestial maiden. Her voice is lilting, and she sings Kunqu opera beautifully.
But people only come to listen for a bit of entertainment, then never return.
Business at the opera house keeps getting worse, so Su Ci'an invites some Kunqu fans among the local businessmen to invest.
She never expected to see him again: Si Yao.
They were in love as students, but broke up after an accident.

Years later, she is seeking investment because the opera house is struggling to stay afloat, while he has become the head of the top-tier Si family.
No one would connect the two of them. Everyone thinks they belong to different worlds, unaware that they were entangled long ago.
They meet again on a rainy day, sharing an umbrella.
As they part, the man looks down at her with cool, composed eyes and says, "It rains a lot in Nanxun. Be careful not to catch a chill."
Later, at a party, just as they pass each other, he grabs her wrist.
Her expression is detached as she smiles politely. "Mr. Si, please let go."
Si Yao smiles as he pulls her into his arms, his voice calm and faintly amused. "An'an, marry me. I'll take care of all your problems."
Su Ci'an knows he has an ulterior motive for proposing, but agrees for the sake of the opera house.
After their wedding, everyone learns that Su Ci'an was the one who dumped Si Yao back then. They all wonder how miserable he will make her life.
But in their marriage, it turns out that Si Yao is the one who has to chase after her.

Everyone knows that Si Yao, head of the Si family, is reserved and refined, and especially fond of Kunqu opera.
No one expected a man like him to bend to anyone.
During an interview, a reporter asks Si Yao how he came to love Kunqu opera.
He smiles faintly, then says, "I love Kunqu because my wife is a Kunqu opera inheritor. Also, Kunqu is one of our country's treasures. I hope more people will take the time to learn about it."
Everyone says I am indifferent to human feeling, but I would bend for you alone.
Kunqu opera inheritor x head of a powerful family
A few notes:
1. All the information about Kunqu opera in this story comes from Baidu and the internet. It won't be a major focus, so please point out any errors.
2. This isn't a typical marriage-first, love-later story. There is more of the bittersweet tension of a couple getting back together after a breakup.
3. This is primarily an urban romance, with flashbacks woven in.
Theme: Carrying on China's outstanding traditional culture
