Lyrical blurb:
When she was young and first discovering love, she too had dreamed of the person with whom she would spend her life. She had never clearly pictured his face, but he still embodied the little girl's indescribable hopes.
As the years passed, reality wore down those early dreams until they could barely hold together. Almost in despair, she was ready to admit that no one in the world could meet her expectations. In the end, she could only close her eyes and ears, let things take their course, and submit to a fate shaped by shallow customs.
How lucky she was to meet an Xiao Nanlan.
How lucky there was still an Xiao Nanlan.
At first, neither of them loved the other so deeply that they would choose them over anyone else until death. He had simply grown used to her occupying a corner of his heart. After all, she was one of the few sweet things in the barren, haphazard first half of his life.
At first, his feelings had nothing to do with romance. It was neither love at first sight nor a sudden attraction to her looks. As he admired her day after day, he simply turned himself into her believer, her puppet. Every thread of feeling in him was tugged by her. He couldn't help himself, and he welcomed it.
When they met again, that little sweetness, nurtured for so long, ignited. A spark became a wildfire, fanned by the wind, consuming all reason with unstoppable force. He couldn't control it, and he didn't want to.
She was such a generous person, never reluctant to feel compassion for the world. She was the one meant for him, the finest gift fate had given him.
After countless twists and turns, thanks to his ascetic-like devotion through all those years and the best years of his life that he had offered up without hesitation, he won her favor. The marks left on his heart by those taut threads were kissed again and again and held close by her. Her petal-soft lips and crystal-clear heart gradually healed him.
Throughout his childhood, adolescence, and youth, he had followed a wonderful, radiant person with longing in his eyes, stumbling along as he went. And for her, he had willingly fought to become a better version of himself.
Her embrace was the greatest reward he could ever receive in his life.
Even if we met again a hundred times, I would still be willing to rush recklessly toward you.
Guaranteed pure sweetness, no angst. If it's not sweet, you can blow up the author and serve them with drinks.

Lu You's "Two Songs for the Wind and Rain on November 4th", the textbook selected the second song "Iron Horses on the Glacier Comes into Dreams", but in fact the first song is more interesting in life. The wind swept through the rivers and lakes, the rain darkened the village, and the sound of the four mountains was like the rolling waves of the sea. The firewood in the creek was soft and warm, so the raccoon slave and I didn't go out.
The peach red contains the lingering rain, and the willow green contains morning smoke. The flowers have fallen, the children have not swept away the house, the orioles are singing, and the mountain guests are still sleeping.
I love this part about getting married and having children, Zhu Ting has the final say

The intention is far-reaching, and the heroine is working hard in both directions!
