[Opening in 2027.]
Blurb:

Ruan Zhujun came to the Gu family to collect a debt.
Gu Yuhuai was certain of it from the moment she stepped through the Gu family's gates. He became even more convinced one night, after they inexplicably lost control and kissed.
At his mother's birthday banquet, Gu Yuhuai learned that his nephew had fallen for Zhujun and that they were discussing marriage.
In front of all the guests, his expression darkened. "Fourth Boy has some nerve. Instead of choosing a bride he likes, he went and picked someone from my household."
As Zhujun swayed on the verge of collapse, he looked deeply into her eyes.
What a heartless woman. They had spent all those nights together, and she could just forget them.
-
Zhujun was eleven when she entered the Gu household with the woman who had adopted her. When she met Gu Yuhuai, she called him "Uncle" every other word. The man was cold and arrogant, clearly difficult to get along with, so she went out of her way to please him.
But she seemed to overdo it, because Gu Yuhuai always looked at her with an inexplicable expression.
She couldn't control what he chose to do. She knew his mother had already arranged a marriage for him, so she could only make plans for herself.
Even though they had once spent countless nights tangled up together, cheek to cheek.

"She had only one autumn to lose herself in him."
|| SC, HE
|| The man is ten years older than the woman. They are unrelated by blood, and their romantic entanglement begins after the heroine turns twenty.
The title comes from Notes on the Waterways Classic: Fish and dragons regard autumn days as night.
