A seemingly pampered, actually strong and optimistic top student * a seemingly carefree and dissolute, actually upright and earnest underachiever
Tong Hua * Jiang Qingchi
Princess and Knight
“Even if his past is a hastily scribbled poem, I’m willing to protect him with the brilliant fireworks of the rest of my life.”
Blurb 1:
“Every princess in a fairy tale has stunning beauty, captivating talent, and boundless magic... Hold on, Tong Hua, I think you’re still missing something.”
“Missing what?” Tong Hua asked, glaring at the boy in front of her.
The boy smiled mysteriously, holding a basketball as he looked down at the top of her head. At last, he said, “You’ll understand when you’re older.”
After graduation, she finally learned the answer:
“You’re missing falling in love with me.”
Blurb 2:
Watching the train disappear into the distance, Tong Hua finally realized that she and Jiang Qingchi were truly parting forever. The boy who used to play and joke around with her was no longer by her side.
In the warm afternoon sunshine, the girl arrived at the train station, panting, only to see the Jiang family with bags and bundles, moving away together.
When Jiang Qingchi saw her, he set down his luggage, brushed the dust off his clothes, wiped his hands on his hem, and took two candies from his pocket.
“Princess Tong Hua, you don’t have to see me off. I’m going home.”
In a crowded place, in an unnoticed corner, Tong Hua threw herself into his arms.
“Jiang Qingchi, you and I are the best of friends in the whole world! Even after you leave, you have to remember me...”
Blurb 3:
Years later, Tong Hua met a sharply dressed man wearing gold-rimmed glasses as he entered a state-owned enterprise. Recognizing his familiar figure, she hurried after him.
The man looked at her with a smile. His face had lost its youthful innocence.
“Jiang Qingchi, is that you? Did you forget about me?”
Jiang Qingchi smiled and said:
“No. The moment we parted, I made up my mind to be your knight for the rest of my life.”
“Back then, I was destitute and did poorly in school. I couldn’t give you everything you wanted, but things are different now...”
One day at dusk, the flower beds were fragrant, like something out of a fairy tale.
“Can you be my prince now?” Tong Hua asked Jiang Qingchi, who was holding out a diamond ring in a bed of roses.
“No, I still choose to be your knight.” Jiang Qingchi smiled warmly. “Princess Tong Hua, please let me protect you for the rest of my life.”
