(A short, sweet romance, around 100,000 Chinese characters)

I've changed to a new premise. If you don't like it, feel free to remove it from your collection. Sorry, sorry.

Blurb

In the third year after Xi Yingchuan lost the use of her legs, her father spent ten taels of silver to find her a husband to bring her good luck. They said his birth chart was especially auspicious for her.

At first, she couldn't stand Cheng Qi'an.

She thought he was dull in his manner, meek and submissive, and painfully quiet.

No matter what she said or did, he would only gaze at her with those dark, round eyes.

On their wedding night, he even wordlessly forced off her underpants...

But later, Xi Yingchuan not only brought the matter up herself, she also held on to the young man's hand as he washed her body.

With regret all over her face, she teased, "When will Qi Qi be as forward as you were that night?"

The young man froze at her words, his cheeks instantly burning red.

After a long while, he finally managed to stammer out a reply.

"Once your legs are better, you can do whatever you want to me..."

PS: A sweet, healing romance. He heals her. One-on-one, both leads are virgins, happy ending.

The heroine is sharp-tongued and mean, and says harsh things. The hero is quiet and does more than he says. They're made for each other!

Later, the heroine's legs recover, and she takes the imperial examinations, placing third. She made a brief appearance in the neighboring story, The Horse Slave and the Young Master. If you're interested, feel free to check it out.

Theme: Now that the dust has settled, the light shines through, illuminating countless blooms across the green hills.
