Plucking the Little Flower Maiden

[The Newbie Village: I took a great idea in the wrong direction, which was a real shame. I know how to write it now, so if I get the chance, I'll give it a major rewrite.]

[Beloved by all, a kind and charming flower girl x a suspicious, vengeful, decisive, tragic hero]

Hua Yuan never imagined that the white-robed gentleman she casually rescued would turn out to be none other than the exalted Prince Zhao.

When her flower house accidentally burned down, he took her by the hand and brought her back to the prince's residence.

The task Zhao Yeqing gave her was to cure his insomnia.

From then on, she had a flower garden all to herself. Whatever flowers or plants she wanted to grow, someone would travel any distance to find them for her.

After that, the lifeless prince's residence was filled with vitality.

Zhao Yeqing began sleeping better, and the whole household celebrated. They no longer had to endure the prince's temper whenever he was woken up.

At first, Hua Yuan was a little afraid of him, but gradually she realized that Zhao Yeqing was actually a very gentle and amusing person.

He would wear a flower crown and give orders with a perfectly serious expression, making his subordinates struggle not to laugh.

Zhao Yeqing immediately frowned. "What? You don't think it looks good?"

His subordinates: "Of course not, of course not. It looks great, it looks great..."

When his stomach pain became unbearable, he would go to Hua Yuan with a pitiful look and ask her to make him peach blossom sweet porridge.

"The food they make is awful. I can't stomach a single bite..."

How could food made by the palace chefs possibly be bad? He just wanted to eat something made by his little flower girl.

Zhao Yeqing lost both his parents in his sleep, and from that day on, he could barely sleep. He studied and trained hard, becoming the emperor's most trusted right-hand man. He navigated the schemes of powerful families and protected the people of the realm.

Only his little flower girl would cross mountains in the middle of the night, unafraid of getting dirty or tired, to catch fireflies for him.

Only his little flower girl would stand on a hilltop on a gentle spring day and fly a kite for him.

He had long since stopped wanting only to cure his insomnia. He wanted to protect her for the rest of her life.

And she did the same, using her delicate hands to protect the one she loved, who seemed far beyond her reach.

[Reader's Guide]

1. A devoted 1v1 couple, happy ending, two-way romance despite their difference in status, plus a little bit of an immature serious plot.

2. Romance comes first; the plot serves the romance.

3. A sweet little story. Please don't scrutinize the details. The author's not very smart, and this is my first book, so it has plenty of flaws. Please don't tell me if you drop it. Thanks for understanding!

Warnings: Lots of made-up details, very little research, and absolutely nothing historically accurate. I'm a dummy, I'm a dummy.

Premise: Love heals both ways.
