Like Spring Clearing at Dusk

(Enter at your own risk: the manuscript has been signed.)

Tao Ji, the newly enrolled female student at the Imperial Academy, feared nothing and no one. She bullied the pampered young heir time and again. The heir could do whatever he pleased in the capital, and had only entered the academy to coast along. He never expected this young lady to awaken his competitive streak.

The young heir gritted his teeth and eagerly awaited the day she would finally get the better of him.

Later, the students traveled south on an educational tour, and a rebellion suddenly broke out in a border prefecture. The young heir still gritted his teeth as he said, word by word:

"If anything happens, I want to share a bed with you in life and share a grave with you in death."

"If we both somehow make it out alive..."

"We'll be entangled for a lifetime."

- Both leads are each other's first and only partners. Fictional setting.

- A simple story about growing up.

Theme: Everything is part of growing up, even tears of emotion
