Blurb for When the Sun Is High:

[A super-healing short story about farming and food!]

[A forthright, spirited, self-reliant career woman x a loyal, powerful man who plays the pig to eat the tiger, with a gentle exterior and a dark heart]

Qiu He is an optimistic, cheerful farm girl, clever and quick-witted, with a talent for cooking and a knack for business.

But because of the law that says, "If a woman is eighteen and unmarried, her family is held responsible," someone with ill intentions seized on this as leverage against her family.

To protect Qiu He from the law's oppression, her parents decided to find her a husband to join their family.

That day, they took notice of Cheng Wang, a lame "refugee" who was temporarily staying at their home.

-

Cheng Wang was born into the Cheng clan of Lizhou. He was skilled in both the civil and military arts, and at thirteen he was the top archer at a gathering of aristocratic families, becoming famous throughout the land.

But fate had other plans. His exceptional talent and good looks made him a thorn in the side of others, and he nearly died in the bitter cold of winter.

He limped south for who knew how long, crossed one mountain after another, and finally collapsed in the forest.

In Lizhou, he was already a dead man. Now, thousands of li away, he had no identity and was forced to become a refugee.

Fortunately, a kind family in the village took him in.

Unexpectedly, before long he became their live-in son-in-law.

Cheng Wang had once been too busy scheming to understand what genuine feelings were.

But as he spent more and more time with Qiu He, he gradually fell for her.

After meeting Qiu He, he learned that people could get along without scheming against each other.

As he accompanied her over mountains and across valleys, he learned that human warmth could overcome distance.

With her by his side, he understood the meaning of home.
