● Catlike Model VS Buddhist Tea Merchant
● Pure-Love Sweet Treat
*
Jiang Xi's father never cared for her, and neither did her mother. But she was lively and strikingly beautiful. What made people even more envious was that she married into the Zhou family of Jiangnan.
The first time she met her bargain-bin husband after registering their marriage was at Mingxiang House.
Many people said Zhou Yanchuan was a refined gentleman, gentle and elegant. That day, seated at the head of the table, he watched Jiang Xi drain her tea with a cool, indifferent expression.
His voice was cold, and his words were cutting: “Those who drink it gulp it down in one breath, with no time to discern its flavor. Nothing could be more vulgar.”
He called her uncultured.
After that, Jiang Xi went out of her way to oppose him.
He liked the dark, so she switched on every light in Jiangyuan, making it glaringly bright.
He liked quiet, so she changed the car music to “GG Bond” and sang along at the top of her lungs.
He liked going to bed early, so at midnight she belted out, “Those painful memories~ fall into the springtime soil~”
As time passed, layer after layer of their defenses fell away, revealing each other's secrets and vulnerabilities.
One day, she said, “Zhou Yanchuan, Happy New Year.”
One day, he said, “Xiaoman, I'm waiting for you to come home.”
Buddha says that those driven by desire are like people carrying a torch against the wind: they are bound to burn their hands.
Zhou Yanchuan had studied Zen and worshipped Buddha since he was fourteen, yet in the end he willingly fell into the mortal world.
To trick her into kissing him, he would solemnly tell her, “Xiaoman, we're married. Married couples are allowed to kiss.”

Theme: The small things of life, and a big love
I was attracted by the title of the book 😳
Ahhh, I want to read Fu Jingdu's story
Did the author accidentally make a typo (≧ω≦) Wan Xia and Gu Miaomiao instead of Wan Miaomiao?
