Far, Far Away

Ye Qiushui toured the capital with her fiancé. When they returned home that night, she said goodbye to him at the front gate. He told her that he would come to ask for her hand in marriage in a few days. Ye Qiushui smiled as she watched her reluctant fiancé leave. When she turned around, she saw her usually stern and dignified elder brother standing beneath the corridor, silently watching her, his eyes dark and still. She couldn't help remembering that a year ago, in this very corridor, she had boldly and presumptuously kissed Jiang Ling. He had shoved her away and scolded her in stern, furious disbelief: "We are siblings, nothing more. Don't defy the natural order. Put those improper thoughts out of your mind." * A younger sister with little regard for morality x an older brother with a powerful moral compass. Please read before starting (content warnings): 1. They are not related by blood. This is a genuine childhood-to-adulthood story, beginning when they are young (important). Their family relationship is dissolved, and the romance only begins after she turns fifteen. 2. The male lead has a leg disability and walks with a limp (please avoid if this bothers you), but it doesn't affect his everyday life in any way. 3. The male lead falls in love first. He is pure in both body and heart. Chastity and insecurity are a man's finest dowry. 4. Childhood sweethearts, everyday family life, slow burn, one-on-one, both leads sexually inexperienced, happy ending. 5. Synopsis screenshot taken on 2023/12/23. 50% anti-piracy ratio. Reason for entering the Growth and Comeback writing contest, "Starting from Scratch, Making It on Your Own": The female lead is an orphan with no parents, a lowly status, and a poor family background. But she is determined and courageous, and through her own abilities gradually builds a prosperous business, fulfilling her dream of enriching the nation and earning a place in history. My next historical romance, The Deception of Him, is available to follow. As the emperor's eldest daughter, Ming Ying is highborn, brilliant, and has been raised from childhood to become heir to the throne. One year, during a flood, Ming Ying concealed her identity and went to oversee the disaster relief. A handsome, delicate-looking young man moved into the same alley where she was staying. He was alone, with bright eyes and pearly teeth, as fresh and tender as a shoot of bamboo. Ming Ying was taken by his looks and used a little guile to win him over. The innocent, kind-hearted boy often blushed at her teasing. Ming Ying slowly drew him deeper in, until at last he blushingly told her, "A Wei, I'll come to your home and ask for your hand in marriage in a couple of days." It was only a fleeting affair, and Ming Ying didn't take it seriously. When her work was done, she simply left, even setting a fire before she went to make sure her supposed death was beyond doubt. * When he was young, Tang Yuejian had someone he loved. She was unloved by her parents and often sickly, and he vowed to protect her for the rest of his life. They were tender and intimate, and promised themselves to each other. But just as he was about to go ask for her hand, a fire destroyed everything. Tang Yuejian was devastated and spent a long time in despair. Two years later, at a chance banquet, Tang Yuejian discovered that the dazzling heir to the throne looked exactly like his dead A Wei. So she had been a liar. * When Ming Ying came face-to-face with the man she'd tricked by faking her death, she felt guilty, but also thought: She was the heir to the throne, after all. What was wrong with having a little fun with men? The young man now often wore a face as cold as jade. Whenever he saw her, he made cutting remarks, accusing her in every way of being a fickle, disloyal, awful woman. So what? Ming Ying only had to crook a finger, and he'd come to her, still wearing that cold expression. * Tang Yuejian hated her. He hated that she was fickle, hated her repeated lies, and hated the "pretty songbirds" around her. But as long as she gave him the slightest attention, he was willing to forgive her. The heir to the throne had passed twenty, and the emperor was choosing a spouse for her. Ming Ying decided to settle down and seriously choose a man she could entrust with the household. Then, on a snowy night, someone knocked at her door. The young man who had always hated her suddenly appeared, his shoulder damp and his hand clutching her sleeve. In tears, he said, "You were the one who had me first. How can you turn around and push me away now?" A love con artist x a proud, delicate innocent. Theme: Enjoy the moment. Don't push yourself too hard.
