A Grain of Red Rain

Before she turned seventeen, Qu Tinghui lived with her adoptive mother in a remote little town. When she was seventeen, her biological father, Governor Qu, came looking for her, and her life changed beyond recognition. Overnight, she went from an obscure country girl to the most powerful young lord in Deren Province. For a time, everyone wanted to cozy up to her, except Bei Cenxuan. The little grandson of the wealthiest family, a young master raised in luxury. Bei Cenxuan came from one of the most prominent families. From childhood, he had been surrounded by admiration and doted on by everyone. Proud and haughty, he would never flatter or fawn over anyone. Instead, plenty of people were eager to curry favor with him. Having received so much love all his life, he was incredibly insensitive to romance, even a little slow on the uptake. Then one day, he realized: Qu Tinghui seemed to have secretly kissed him. One night, after they'd been together. Leaning against Qu Tinghui, Bei Cenxuan whined, “If you liked me, you should've said so sooner! Do I look that terrifying?” Qu Tinghui smiled tenderly and bent down to kiss him. Bei Cenxuan met Qu Tinghui when he was seventeen. But Qu Tinghui had known Bei Cenxuan since he was seven. 【A two-faced gentleman × a spoiled princess】 P.S. - Fictional setting. The political scheming is simplistic, so don't overthink it. - The pursuer has a secret crush on the pursued. One-on-one, mutually doting, both virgins. No switching or reversing roles. Don't pit the protagonists against each other. - Full of melodrama, with a large cast of family members. - The setting is entirely fictional and shouldn't be compared to real life. Theme: Lead Deren toward a better future!
