Among the great sects of the martial world, Cloud Garment Tower has always gone its own way and made no allies.
Who could have guessed that Hua Wanlian, the young master of the tower, would suddenly visit Mu Yishui Pavilion in person to propose to its second young lady?
Second Young Master Yang Lingche hurried to Cloud Garment Tower as soon as he received the news, intending to decline the marriage proposal on his younger sister's behalf.
That younger sister was himself.
Hua Wanlian rode away on his fine horse, Silver Lotus, as the people of Cloud Garment Tower watched him go.
He patted Silver Lotus's shining white neck and sighed. "For now, it's just you and me for company."

Yang Lingche led his fine horse, Golden Apricot, out of the gates of Mu Yishui Pavilion alone.
He stroked Golden Apricot's gleaming mane and smiled faintly. "I wonder how much longer you'll be able to keep me company."

It had once been a spring day, too.
The sun shone bright, and flowers rained from the sky.
The young man stood straight-backed, handsome and dashing, every frown and smile full of charm.
Amid the vast sea of humanity, he walked toward a fated encounter, toward falling deeply in love, toward spending the rest of his life hand in hand with someone.
Reader's notes:
☆ A proud, arrogant gong who is gentle only with the shou × a shou who hides his true nature and is devoted only to the gong
★ The shou spends most of the story dressed as a woman, but he isn't a cross-dressing enthusiast and returns to men's clothing in the end
☆ The gong likes men, and there is no misunderstanding about the shou's gender
★ Mutual secret crushes
☆ The setting is entirely fictional, with no real-world references
★ A light wuxia feel
Many thanks!
