Name: A Letter from Spring
Author: You Sijie

Synopsis

That spring, a few notes arrived out of nowhere, with no beginning or end, asking only how I was

“Spring meals nourish the body. Shepherd's purse is good to eat.”

“The magnolias in the courtyard are blooming. Could they be made into a pendant?”

“The wind is picking up. Remember to put on another layer.”

The Fifth Miss has a poor memory and can't recall whose handwriting it is, but that doesn't matter. The curtain has risen. Welcome to this healing journey that begins in spring and will eventually bring them together again.

*They say the male lead is hawkish at heart but handsome as a crane???

*An imagined Song dynasty setting, focused on family life, with possible household intrigue. Please don't nitpick the history.

*All my completed works can be found in my collection.

Theme: Celebrate happiness.

I'm grateful for all the hard work authors put in. When I follow an ongoing story, I make a habit of buying as many chapters as I can. I won't drop a story until it gets truly unbearable, so not every book here is necessarily good.
