Little Jasmine

[Sensitive, Tragic Fallen Songstress vs. Outspoken, Dashing Young Master Fresh Back from Abroad]

Her family fell into ruin, and she was reduced to becoming a songstress. The sheltered young woman had no choice but to compromise.

She gave herself a stage name: Xiao Molihua.

Jasmine flowers were pure white and flawless. That was the only fantasy Xiao Molihua allowed herself to keep.

He was an ambitious young man who had returned from studying abroad, full of confidence and vigor. She was a fragile, sensitive reflection of ordinary women in feudal society.

She could no more resist the light shining down on her than she had once resisted the man who reached out and drew close to her.

Later...

Xiao Molihua died in winter.

They reunited in winter, and said their final goodbye in winter.

Xiao Molihua never saw the future Zhou Huaiqing spoke of. All she left him was a broken love.
