Among the Flowering Rain

(Temporarily out of inspiration)

To clear her elder brother's name, Jiang Han accidentally stumbled into a wolf's den and was forced to become a concubine.

While fleeing for her life, she happened upon a room. The sight of a handsome man bathing stopped her tears.

Through the hazy steam, the man in the tub was elegant and handsome, aloof and cold. His deep, icy eyes, like a frigid pool, turned toward her.

Jiang Han shivered, but still summoned her courage and went to him for protection. "Sir, please save me."

Pei Yu'an uttered four words: "Get out of here."

The day before her wedding, Jiang Han had resigned herself to her fate. She was listless and utterly dispirited.

Pei Yu'an suddenly came to visit. He clicked his tongue, bluntly told her she was a pushover, then offered her a glimmer of hope.

He would save her on the condition that she fake a marriage to that hulking old man and deliberately get close to him.

So Jiang Han dutifully reported her schedule, but Pei Yu'an only heard the part that mattered to him. "Oh, so you and him have been having quite a good time these past few days."

At last, the day she could escape arrived. Jiang Han finally understood: she was only a country girl, as insignificant as a blade of grass. How could she ever be worthy of the noble Prince Chen'an?

When they met again, Jiang Han had become a young lady of the Ningyong Earl's household.

She studied complicated, tedious etiquette and read obscure, difficult poetry, carrying herself with graceful refinement. Yet she still lost her composure at a grand event.

At a flower-viewing banquet, she spilled steaming locust blossom tea on the Prince of Chen'an's brocade robe. She never expected him to seize her tightly.

She pulled away, distant and unfamiliar, insisting he had mistaken her for someone else.

From then on, everyone knew that the famous Prince of Chen'an was humbly begging the young lady of the Earl's household to accept his love.

He begged for less than a month before running back to the countryside.

When a clumsy beauty stops being clumsy one day, she is no longer the same person.

When Pei Yu'an learned the truth, he nearly wanted to kill someone.

In a frantic rush, he found Jiang Han working in the fields. Her face was covered in mud, making her look just like a little kitten.

Pei Yu'an's eyes grew warm as he ran over and held her tightly.

Having her was enough for this lifetime.
