A Priceless Treasure

[Powerful Beijing family x female college student / nine-year age gap / sweet romance with a happy ending] [Revised several times during serialization. The plot and dialogue have all been changed; I’m not responsible for other versions.] Min Huaijun first met Xian Shu at a tedious performance. On a whim, he wanted to hear some guqin, so she was called onstage to play Moon Over the Mountain Pass. On a night of pale stars and a hazy moon, she remained serene amid the din. His younger sister asked if the piece was good. He gave a noncommittal answer. “It was all right.” Later, by a twist of fate, Xian Shu became his private guqin tutor. When a friend heard what her job entailed, he teased Min Huaijun: “A man and a woman alone together at three in the morning. You’re not going to charm her into bed in a couple of moves?” He set down his teacup, suddenly smiled, and said, “I’d like to.” - The beginning of Xian Shu and Min Huaijun’s relationship was hardly respectable. She coaxed him into investing, and he used threats to make her comply. Everyone said she couldn’t keep a man for long by relying on her looks, and she thought so too. A powerful man’s passing fancy might last a few months, or maybe a year or two, but at most until she graduated from college. Once he got bored and had his fill, he would let her go. Their winding journey was meant to end with them parting ways, but somehow they found themselves in too deep to turn back “You said I was free to break up with you.” “Like hell you are.” * The male lead has always been faithful, with no romantic history and no fiancée. An urban fairy tale, just for entertainment. Neither the characters nor the plot are based on real people, so please don’t read them as such. Thank you. Synopsis written on November 13, 2025.
