Word gradually spread through Yuncheng that the eldest young master of the Chu family had fallen for someone and doted on her alone. Everyone wondered which lucky woman had won his favor.
After all, he was famous for keeping his distance from women, yet he had the gentle, refined air of a perfect gentleman, enough to make countless young women fall for him.
When a friend asked him about it, Young Master Chu scoffed. “I only see her as a little sister.”
Later, he ended up eating his words.
His friend grinned. “Does your face hurt?”
Young Master Chu replied calmly, “Single people like you could never understand how happy I am.”
Then he looked at a certain young woman, his gaze tender and his face utterly content.
His friend’s mouth twitched. “You’re really going to flaunt your relationship right in front of me? Is there no justice?”
A friendly reminder: One-on-one sweet romance, with a smart, kindhearted heroine who knows how to disguise herself.
[A Little Bonus Scene]
Scandalous stories about a famous actress came to light, ruining her reputation. Her younger sister was also sent to prison. When news spread, the whole city was in an uproar.
Her aunt sharply accused her, “Mu Yunxi, you ungrateful wretch! How could you do this to me?”
Mu Yunxi smiled sweetly. “I’m only treating you the way you treated me.”
Her aunt was so furious she could have devoured her. But before she could lay a hand on Mu Yunxi, someone grabbed her wrist.
Young Master Chu smiled. “Did you ask my permission to bully her?”
Her aunt sputtered, “Who’s bullying whom here?”
Young Master Chu replied coolly, “She can bully others all she likes. No one gets to bully her!”
The moment Mu Yunxi saw the man, she turned into a demure little woman, gazing at him with admiration.
Young Master Chu looked down at her and smiled indulgently, his eyes full of devotion.
“Of all the sights in the world, you alone fill my eyes. Through storms, snow, and fire, I’d face death nine times over for you without regret.”, Chu Jiangchi
I stumbled upon this place and finished it in two days. It felt so depressing... Especially after reading the epilogue. There are many likable characters in the story; just imagine the epilogue yourself. I'll just pretend I didn't see the second epilogue, haha.
