[Sensitive, melancholic true lady × gentle, steadfast military doctor returning from abroad]
On the third day after entering the palace, Liu Xiwu, the illegitimate third daughter of the Marquis of Wuwei's household, was demoted from beauty to the Cold Palace because her family had dragged her down. For months afterward, she languished in bed, and on the day of the first snow that year, she passed away.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a crumbling earthen house with no light and a farmhouse yard where the weeds reached her waist. Liu Xiwu was terrified. Though born out of wedlock, she had been raised like a precious jewel, and she had not yet recovered from her illness. How was she supposed to survive in this unfamiliar era?
Meng Dongrong had returned from studying abroad on a government scholarship. His parents, both once powerful figures, had been sent to a production corps thousands of miles away. The former darling of the heavens now had to navigate a complex web of interests just to secure a proper job. Then, in his very first week at work, he ran into a violent medical dispute.
The moment a patient's family member lunged at him with a knife, the first patient he had treated since returning to China stepped in front of him, blood spilling everywhere. The young soldier struggled to grasp his hand. "Protecting the people is our duty. It's just... I have a twin sister. We only have each other. Please look after her for me."
Meng Dongrong carried the soldier's ashes back to his hometown. When he pushed open the dilapidated wooden door, he found Liu Xiwu collapsed beside the kang. In the dim earthen room, she wore old clothes covered in patches, yet she was still as beautiful as a meticulous painting that had crossed through time.
Meng Dongrong had only planned to stay in Hongyan for a few days, settle his benefactor's sister, and then leave. But he realized Liu Xiwu knew nothing of the world and was surrounded by wolves. So he became her husband and took her back to the capital.
Time flew by, and several years passed in the blink of an eye. Only when Liu Xiwu looked back did she realize that, because she had met Meng Dongrong, she had truly come back to life in another winter, blooming and flourishing after she was supposed to have died in one.

[Simple, sweet village girl × deceptively innocent male educated youth]
On the second day after educated youth Pei Yu arrived in the countryside, he discovered a secret: a little girl who secretly read books in the lush camphor tree behind the educated youth compound.
Pei Yu passed by that tree many times and helped cover for the girl on several occasions. He had even learned nearly everything about her from the villagers, but she still hadn't noticed him.
Then one day, the book that seemed to go on forever fell and hit his shoulder. Only then did Pei Yu catch a glimpse of the girl's pretty eyes, usually lowered shyly.

Jiang He and her mother had depended on each other for seventeen years. She knew her father's story by heart: a modern-day Chen Shimei who abandoned his wife and daughter.
Because of this, her mother had never let her study. But Jiang He had always wanted to know what university was like. Would going there really make her as cold and unfeeling as her father?
That was how she came to have a secret. Every time she told her mother she was going out to play with friends, she was actually hiding somewhere in the village to read.
It had been a secret that belonged to her alone, until one day she failed to keep hold of her book, and it happened to hit someone.
From then on, her secret became their secret.

When Jiang He was about to marry Educated Youth Pei, all the villagers of Yunpan Village, whether close to her or not, came out of their own accord to try to dissuade her.
Educated youths were bound to return to the city. Successful, well-read men were all Chen Shimeis. Pei had both strikes against him, and he was handsome and seemed well-off, too. At a glance, he didn't look like someone who would settle down and live an ordinary life.
But no matter who tried to talk her out of it, Jiang He just smiled sweetly and said, "I trust him."
The villagers who had watched her grow up sighed inwardly, waiting for Jiang He to follow in her mother's footsteps.
They waited and waited, until Educated Youth Pei finally received his university admission letter. They knew how this went: next, they'd visit to comfort Jiang He after her husband abandoned her.
Wait, what? Why was Educated Youth Pei taking Jiang He with him to university?
And who had been spreading false rumors? How could Jiang He, who had only attended elementary school, be the county's second-generation science top scorer???

The author didn't save the manuscript. The speed of updating this article always makes me feel like it's going to be a rip off or unfinished [covering face and laughing]
Just want to ask if there are more? Still a trap? I know this pair of characters is difficult to write, but I like characters like the male and female protagonists.
What a pity. This article is so well written. The atmosphere and details are so great. I hope the author will come back one day.
What about the promised 20,000 words a week? [Anger]
Are we going to change from weekly to monthly? [Changed]
... It's been a long time since I changed it. Is this author serious?
Why is the leave application form withdrawn but not updated?
Updates have been suspended for more than a week, right?
Don't buy it when you see it, I bought it specifically to take a look. Damn curiosity.
Dad, have you given up???
