2. A moonlit evening, flowers in bloom.
The heir of the Xie family raises his hand and pours tea. Fragrance mingles with the spring air, and magpies chirp in the treetops.
“Jiayan, to be honest, we've known each other for a long time. I actually...”
The young woman before him is nervous, but her sincerity shines through. He thinks, this must be fate.
She bows and says, “I was hoping you could introduce me to your mother. I've heard so much about her, and I'd love to ask her to teach me the zither!”
The heir of the Xie family trembles, suddenly feeling that his ears are ringing and it would have been better not to leave the house today.
The capital's playboy young prince has been having a run of romantic luck lately, and thinks he's met the woman of his destiny.

Young prince: “Impossible! I don't believe it!”
Reader's guide:
1. A goofy, satisfying story full of tropes and melodrama. If it's not for you, close it and find something else. There are countless web novels out there; if you don't like this one, let's move on.
2. The cover was drawn by my own contracted artist, as always. Praise her!!
3. Feel free to question the plot and logic, or criticize the writing. However, I won't accept insults, degrading language, or abuse full of hostility. Please behave yourselves; such comments will be deleted!!!
