Spring in the Mountains

# Older woman-younger man romance, secret identity revealed, winning her back. He runs away with the baby, then returns in triumph with their child.

# A story about a woman who finds a "wolf cub" in the mountains and tames him.

After her parents separated, Shi Yunyu followed her mother to live in seclusion on a tea mountain.

She was determined to spend her life away from the world, and be buried in the wilderness.

But one day, the door swung open, and Xie Chenshu, a beautiful, fierce young man, collapsed into Shi Yunyu's arms, covered in wounds. From that moment on, he disrupted the quiet, desireless life she had planned.

They spent their days and nights together, and Shi Yunyu would often stare at Xie Chenshu meaningfully.

Xie Chenshu usually pretended not to notice.

Until one day, he could no longer resist. He settled at her feet, drawing closer and closer to the woman before him. To his surprise, Shi Yunyu smiled with interest, reached out to stroke his chin, and said, "You, whose name I don't know, are you trying to seduce me?"

In that lonely mountain, with no one around but a man and a woman, they both willingly gave themselves to a night of passion.

Xie Chenshu thought their days of surrendering to each other would last a long time. But one day, before the spring tea harvest, he suddenly left without saying goodbye.

When Shi Yunyu went to look for him, she saw the basket he'd left at the far end of the tea garden. She stood there stunned for a long while, then returned home as if it didn't matter. She understood that their relationship had ended as suddenly as it had begun.

But at the time, neither of them knew

that an inextricable bond was already taking shape in Shi Yunyu's womb...

-

Several years passed, and the emperor ordered a selection of consorts for the Crown Prince's eldest son, to choose his wife and heir.

On the day of the selection, Xie Chenshu gazed at Shi Yunyu, granddaughter of the Duke of Suiyang, standing in the hall. His eyes seemed ready to see right through her.

After years apart, he had searched for her countless times, only to find that she had vanished without a trace. But just as he finally gave up, she appeared again on her own?

Xie Chenshu thought she was just as despicable as ever. Whatever her purpose, this time he would never let her go again.

-

Afterward, those chosen entered the Eastern Palace for instruction, and Shi Yunyu was among them.

By day, the Crown Prince's eldest son and Shi Yunyu faced each other without recognizing one another, sitting in silence.

She gradually became the noblewoman everyone mocked as having the least chance of becoming his consort.

But nobody knew how, in the dead of night, that usually ruthless and proud heir would cling to her, again and again pleadingly calling out the long-missed name:

"Qingfeng Shi."

"This time, you can be the one to seduce me..."

[The male lead had a reason for leaving. After their reunion, he doesn't know about the child.]

[Qingfeng Shi was the name the female lead first gave him.]

A few friendly reminders:

Both leads are virgins. One-on-one romance, happy ending. Set in an imaginary world! Many fictional details, so please don't overanalyze.

The Crown Prince's heir is the first to reveal his identity, and the first to fall in love. He's a lovesick wolfdog who goes crazy for love.

The plot supports the romance, but the romance is the main focus. Kisses. P.S. I'm not great at listing potential triggers, so feel free to ask if you have any concerns.

Meeting here is fate. May every day bring you happiness!

Please read respectfully and discuss rationally. Happy reading!
