Bellflower

"A bell's hidden grievance, flowers flourishing into an abyss."

I lifted my eyes to the person beside me. The fragrance of tea filled my nostrils as I reverently took his hand and kissed it.

How wonderful. You were by my side before.

Now, I've found my way back to you.

Sharp-minded, scheming French businessman x gentle, cool, and frail Chinese beauty

[The worldbuilding may be hard to understand, sorry TT. The author is a streamer who makes OCs. The main world's lore isn't written yet, and I'll put together a framework later. I wrote this standalone story because a friend wanted to read about Zhong and Hua. Also, the two protagonists are actually original characters, so just treat their accessories after they're humanized as everyday items. Don't overthink it.]

Addition: Clock and Zhong Yinyun are the same person. Flowers and Hua Fanyuan are the same person.

Theme: Cherish the people around you, and face malice with gentleness and love
