I'm sorry, but I've decided to rewrite this story. I'll need time to sort out the outline and prepare a backlog of chapters. I'm not sure when serialization will resume, but I promise I won't abandon it. The heroine will get a complete story this time.
[Stubborn puppy secretly loves an aloof beauty, ultimate secure attachment × avoidant attachment, everyday family life and puppy love]
All told, Wei Jin had only “seen” the famous Qin family's daughter, renowned throughout the capital, three times.
The first time was at Sui Garden. She stood beneath a crabapple tree, while he sat inside a grotto in the rockery.
Before the young son of Chancellor Wang, who had invited them both, could speak, she turned and left. Her voice drifted over on the breeze, clear and ethereal.
“Such a frivolous man. I want nothing to do with him.”
The second time was at the Princess Royal's Moon-Viewing Banquet. She admired floating lanterns from a pavilion, while he hid up on the eaves to enjoy some peace and quiet.
The emperor's immensely privileged nephew used the moonlight reflected across the pond to confess his feelings to her, but her voice was colder than the evening breeze.
“The bright moon hangs high above. I can hardly hear the words of common mortals.”
The last time, at last, there was no young man at her side.
At the Chen family's Second Daughter's Coming-of-Age Banquet, she and two or three close friends happened to be sitting beneath the camphor tree where he had made his home.
Someone whispered, “I heard Prince Li's consort has put in a word for you. She's coming to your house in a couple of days to discuss a match.”
Perhaps it was the honeyed water she'd been drinking. Her voice was much gentler, but her words were as merciless as ever.
“The wastrels of Wuling are no suitable match.”
Seventh Young Master Wei tried and tried to hold back, but in the end he couldn't resist leaning down to clear up the rumor that he was to be proposed as a match.
The wind rose, and the tips of his heart and the leaves on the branches trembled together.
What a lovely young woman, with a face like a spring peach and a heart like ice and jade.
Her father was unkind, and her mother had lived in seclusion in the mountains for years. Even knowing that her father intended to use her marriage for his own ends, Qin Xi still chose to cooperate.
Leaving this residence, whose inner walls had long since crumbled, was her only way out.
In the third month of spring, Qin Xi was carried into Prince Li's manor and married to Wei Jin, the third son, a good-for-nothing with no interest in learning.
Half a month into their marriage, they still hadn't consummated it. Her husband wouldn't even stay the night in the inner residence.
Looking at the bookshelves taking up half the room, Qin Xi understood. Wei Jin never shared a room with books. The rumors were probably true.
Fortunately, she didn't need Wei Jin to love her. All she needed was a marriage of mutual respect and courtesy.
In early summer, she used the excuse of airing out the books to move most of them into the storeroom.
As summer deepened, they had to open the windows at night to let in a little cool air.
One night, she woke groggily from a dream and discovered that her husband, who rarely set foot in the inner residence, had secretly climbed through her window. He was gently tracing the contours of her face, his burning gaze making her heart pound.
Later, she finally realized that she wasn't a lotus fruit hanging from some lofty branch after all. She was a treasure a little dog had painstakingly carried back to his den.
Reader's Guide:
1. The male lead really is a wastrel, with no grand ambitions. The female lead really is an aloof beauty, the hardest woman in the whole capital to win over.
2. A marriage-first, love-later story from the heroine's point of view, and a deliberate pursuit from the hero's.
3. A redemption story, but the hero is the one who saves the heroine.
4. A slow burn, a very slow burn. It leans toward an ensemble cast, with plenty of chapters from the secretly-in-love hero's point of view.
Theme: When the mountains and rivers seem to offer no way forward, a new village appears among the willow-shaded blossoms.
First of all, I would like to say sorry to the readers who are still following this article. After struggling for a long time, I decided to pause and rewrite this article. From about 30,000 words on, I began to realize that this article was off track, and I tried many ways to save it. I overhauled the first three chapters, and rewrote a detailed outline that I thought was more interesting. However, when it came time to write the main text, it continued to go off track. In fact, you know why I am, because I can't write the heroine's perspective of this article well. But the reason why I closed this article with a low budget is precisely because I like the heroine very much. I gave her a very detailed character design and arranged a complete growth line for her. But I don't know what happened. Maybe it's because I don't have enough writing skills. Maybe it's because this type of writing is not my comfort zone. When I wrote about her perspective, I felt very painful. It was painful that I couldn't advance the plot at all, but the plot had to go away. In order to follow the plot, I started writing from the male protagonist's perspective. The male protagonist's perspective couldn't explain the heroine's plot, so I started writing from the supporting character's perspective, unconsciously adding drama to the supporting character... In the end, there was a big problem with the rhythm. If the writing continues like this, the male and female protagonists may still not be able to meet each other after 100,000 words. For a novel that focuses on emotions, this problem is almost fatal. I am clearly aware of this, but there is no way to change it, because I still can't write the heroine's perspective well, and during this period of time, my feelings for the heroine have been almost exhausted. If this continues, it will only become more and more difficult for me to write, and it will become more and more ugly. I don't want to continue writing like this and write a very ugly story for the heroine I like, so I decided to pause it, reorganize the heroine's character and full text outline, and restart it when I'm ready. I promised you something in the copy but failed to do it. I'm really sorry. Dear friends, please feel free to collect. Thank you for your company during this period. I hope we can meet again in the future. Dear friends who choose to wait, thank you for your trust. I will definitely come back with better articles (bow)
I feel like the heroine's character has become more three-dimensional.
Oh my god, you charge me XP in advance!
