*An absolutely sweet romance ^^ Please roll around and beg you to add it to your favorites!
*Restrained, patient older guy x clever, laid-back younger woman
The first time Pei Ji saw her was at a dinner party with the production team. She had come with her mentor, sitting obediently and sipping tea as she ate. A friend asked him why he kept staring at the young woman. Did he know her?
Pei Ji said nothing, but quietly stopped someone from handing her a drink.
The days in Hengdian were long. That winter, heavy snow fell as Pei Ji filmed a historical drama, and Jiang Nan was with the crew too. She scooped up a snowball and, laughing, asked him as he stood there still wearing his costume:
"Why is Minister Pei looking at me like that? You're already the lead, and you have plenty of screen time. I'm nobody important, so I can't ask them to add more scenes for me ^^"
Pei Ji smiled. Memories from the distant past flooded back. She had spoken just like that, so small, laughing as she came over to call him Big Brother.
Jiang Nan met his gaze. The snow in her palm melted away in an instant, damp like the feeling that suddenly washed over her. She boldly asked again, "Have we... met before?"
Pei Ji was still smiling. The temple behind him stood forlorn, fresh snow falling in soft flurries over his purple official robes. The three-eyed peacock feather on his official hat swayed, but the corners of his eyes had reddened.
Had they met before?
Across the hatred of a past life, the blood of treason, the love they shared under one roof, and... the love they never confessed.
*Faux siblings in a past life
*As usual, they have a mutual crush, but the guy is probably more in love ^^
*Of course, it's a HE with a capital H
