[Graceful, resilient eldest legitimate daughter × reserved, devoted Duke of State]

[The push and pull between mature men and women, in an ancient setting~]

When Shen You was twelve, she was trapped in a heavy snowfall outside the capital and rescued by a young general.

At the time, snow and wind swirled wildly, and the wind blew the general's scarf loose.

Only she saw his striking, stern profile.

*

Four years later, the general's family was wiped out. To help him conceal his identity, the dignified eldest legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Chengde married a mere hunter.

Outside the bright red bridal sedan, her stepmother hid a smile of satisfaction at having secured the marriage through her own schemes.

Inside, beneath her veil, Shen You looked forward to the life they would share.

No one knew that she had agreed to the marriage of her own free will.

But the happy little life she had imagined lasted only two years before a letter of separation brought it to an end.

Looking at her husband's profile, cold as frost, Shen You finally pressed her fingerprint onto the letter.

From then on, he could marry and she could wed, and they would have nothing more to do with each other.

After their separation, she returned to the Shen family in the capital. She spent a year nursing her mother through illness, then three years in mourning.

She thought she could live quietly and comfortably on the property her mother and grandmother had left her.

But unexpectedly, the former husband who had parted ways with her returned in triumph, honored for helping the new emperor seize the throne.

In the busy marketplace, his scorching gaze fixed on her.

*

Chu Xiao had spent four years fighting on distant battlefields, and at last he had overthrown the tyrannical former emperor.

With his revenge complete, he thought he could finally live free of burdens. But when he caught sight of that familiar figure in the bustling marketplace, his heart clenched.

In the dead of night, he had dreamed countless times of those clear, autumn-water eyes.

He couldn't stop himself from wanting to approach her, but she avoided him like the plague and even kept meeting men, hoping to marry again.

Watching one man after another appear at her side, Chu Xiao gritted his teeth and sneered inwardly: That one is a flirt, and this one lives off a woman...

He thought she had poor judgment in men. Yet when Shen You finally met a gentle, refined young gentleman, he slammed his palm down and shattered the table, his face icy.

Later, the renowned Duke of Zhenguo climbed over a wall in the middle of the night and broke into a woman's chambers. His tall, broad-shouldered frame knelt before Shen You, his eyes full of regret and tender love, as he asked in a humble voice:

“What do you like about him? I can learn. I can become just like him. Will you choose me?”

Reading guide:

[The focus is on romance, not a fast-paced story. The story begins with their reunion.]

[The heroine, Shen You (you): “Water flows leisurely and endlessly”, from Dai Tong's The Origins of the Six Scripts. The water flows slowly, symbolizing an unceasing life, calm and unhurried.]

[The leads are not perfect, but both are sexually inexperienced (!!!), and have only ever belonged to each other, body and soul. The story focuses on romance, and the hero pursues his wife.]

[There are some outrageous side characters, both male and female.]

[The hero only learns later that the heroine is the little girl he met in the snow.]

[Young actress × athlete]

[Height difference warning]

At twenty, Wen Zhinan made a name for herself in a renowned director's film, but then spent five years fading into obscurity in idol dramas.

That changed when she joined a basketball variety show and tried to shoot a basket while everyone teased her.

In full view of everyone, Xie Zhibei stood behind her, his fingertips slowly tracing over the back of her hand, deliberately teasing her.

But his voice remained composed: “Relax.”

The night the show aired, the trending topics exploded, and “Holding Hands with Zhi” swiftly claimed the top spot across every platform!

[This is on the court, not in bed!]

[They're both over 20! Their bodies should be tangled together passionately!!!]

Their unexpected couple pairing became a huge hit. Even when Wen Zhinan went to the airport, reporters crowded around her from every side.

But no one knew that when Xie Zhibei's callused fingertips brushed over her hand, all she could think about was the passionate entanglement they'd shared one summer night six years ago.

In the dim room, the desire in the man's eyes was fierce and savage. He gazed up at her, admiring her without restraint.

Everyone said Xie Zhibei was stern and austere, with no interest in romance, and was famously immune to women.

Even the paparazzi, who loved to chase publicity and snap scandalous photos, had never caught this basketball superstar in a single romantic rumor.

But no one knew that six years earlier, someone had seduced this basketball legend and then dumped him.

He had endured six years without disturbing her, but the moment he heard her say she was single, he tore through every last shred of restraint and self-control.

Later, at the Xucheng All-Star Game, a reporter asked him what he thought of the hugely popular pairing, “Holding Hands with Zhi.”

The man's voice was low, his tone serious:

“I hope everyone can focus on our work as professionals. I don't pay much attention to anything else.”

The reporters present were deeply disappointed.

Just as everyone thought they had shipped the wrong couple, Xie Zhibei suddenly lifted his eyes to look ahead, his gaze dark and profound, as if he were looking at someone through the camera lens.

His tone was completely different from the serious one he'd used moments ago:

“I said everything you taught me to say.”

“I heard that being obedient is one of the best dowries a man can bring.”

[The roar of the crowd around me fades away. Only your heartbeat and mine pound fiercely in my ears.]
