River Clouds Reflect Your Heart

[Starting a new book in 2023: I Spoiled a Villain. If you like it, come check it out for the New Year!] [A quirky, clever concubine-born girl and a “popular idol” young chancellor] Both leads are each other’s first and only love. If that’s not your thing, don’t read. They fall for each other. Male lead’s perspective Xiao Jun was the Crown Prince’s study companion. As a young man, he became famous throughout the capital, not only for his looks, but also for his talent. When he first met her, he splashed mud all over her. He went to apologize, and at the sound of her soft voice, recognized her as the second daughter of the Grand Tutor’s household. He thought it was nothing more than a chance encounter. But the next time they met, he saw her hurriedly lower her skirt after hiking it up, then watched her bicker with Zhou Kui. She was quick-witted and sharp-tongued, and he found her fascinating. After that, time and again, he found his gaze drifting to her, until he could no longer look away. At eighteen, Xiao Jun realized he had fallen for her, though he had no idea when it had happened. The Grand Tutor had not arranged a husband for her. She had already passed her hairpin ceremony, and at sixteen, she was blossoming into a young woman just beginning to understand love. He wondered if the person in his heart could be her. He wanted to marry her, but his father objected because of the difference in their status. He stood firm. His father had never seen him like this before and realized he was determined. After giving him a severe family punishment, he finally agreed. She wore red, and he gently held both her hands. He thought that nothing in the world could compare to this moment. When she first met Xiao Jun, she thought only that he was the gentlest person imaginable. She had no idea who he was. She usually stayed at home and knew nothing of the rumors about him that had spread everywhere. When they met again, she had never seen anyone so celestial. After four years together, she fell for him. Xiao Jun gave her the courage to take that first step.
