*Childhood friends turned into a bitter entanglement, enemies turned into lovers

As the Crown Prince's celebrated companion, Qiao Wei is praised throughout the realm as a paragon of an aristocratic family, a gentleman as fine as jade.

Everyone thinks so, except for the young general who has just arrived in the capital.

A curious onlooker asks Zhou Shichen why he holds Qiao Fuyan in such contempt.

Zhou Shichen: "A fox borrowing a tiger's might, putting on airs. Does everyone really have to praise her?"

Later, Qiao Wei is framed for plotting treason, betraying the Crown Prince, and assassinating the late emperor. Crown Prince Qi Hua shoots her off a cliff with an arrow.

Twenty years of sharing joy and sorrow, a promise to face death without regret, all exchanged for a single sentence:

"Qiao Fuyan."

"You and I are finished."

But Qiao Wei doesn't die.

She thinks, since things have come to this, she might as well give up trying.

She'll be an ordinary citizen of Great Jin, and take life one day at a time.

But her sworn enemy, who hates her to the bone, won't let her.

Zhou Shichen: Don't even think about it. Stop pretending you don't know what's going on and come with me.

Zhou Shichen has loved Qiao Wei for a very, very long time.

So after stealing the moonlight into his arms, he lies awake night after night, racking his brains.

Afraid she'll hate him, afraid she still loves... him.

So, on the Lantern Festival of the first year of Tianying, the realm is at peace and the people are prosperous.

He asks Qiao Wei if she has a wish.

After thinking for a long time, Qiao Wei suddenly smiles. "I want to see fireworks."

He thinks that after being trapped for so long behind the palace's deep walls, she wants to glimpse the light of day.

Only later does he learn the truth.

In the nineteenth year of Yongde, Qi Hua, still the Crown Prince, spent a fortune to fill the whole city with dazzling fireworks, turning the dark night into day.

It was her coming-of-age celebration, a secret known to no one else.

Reading Guide:

1. Both male leads are devoted to the heroine, while she is not. The relationships are one-on-one at different stages, and both male leads are important! One belongs to her past, the other to her future.

2. Enter with care. This is a personal-fetish project, the pacing is slow, and the focus is on romance.

3. Some women in the story will fall for the heroine. Please steer clear if that bothers you QwQ

4. The heroine is Qiao Wei, courtesy name Fuyan. After faking her death, she takes the name Yun Wanshu.

5. The characters aren't perfect, and the heroine isn't a powerhouse. She has a bit of a magnetism that draws everyone in, but she's a blockhead. You can criticize the author, but not the heroine.

6. There are melodramatic twists, and anyone could suffer physically or emotionally. Enter with care if that's not for you.

7. Fictional setting, very loosely based on anything real. Please don't scrutinize the details.
