When the Orchid Blooms

Cui Mingyue, the legitimate daughter of the Cui Mansion in Chang'an, has a quiet temperament and is famous in Beijing for her hairpins and small regular script. However, she never likes to socialize and only wants to spend her days in Huanxi Courtyard with poetry, calligraphy and paintings. I thought that I would follow the rules in this life and find a stable family according to my parents' orders, but I didn't expect that an accidental fan question at a banquet in Qujiang caught the eye of Gu Yunzhou, the son of the official minister. Gu Yunzhou was a successful young man with a cold temperament. He was the object of admiration for many noble ladies in Chang'an City, but he fell in love with Cui Mingyue at first sight. When they first met at Ci'en Temple, he picked up the scattered rosary beads for her; Su Xinlan gave them to her, hiding his unspoken thoughts. From being cautious and tentative when they first met, to growing affection as they got along, Mr. Gu, who originally seemed cold and cold, showed a gentleness that few people knew in front of her. When a daughter of the Cui family grew up, she met Gu Lang, who happened to be here for her. In the city of Chang'an, which pays attention to parents' orders and matchmaker's words, this love, which started at the first meeting and warmed in detail, is quietly spreading with the fragrance of Su Xinlan. When a gentle and talented girl meets a cold young man, it is the restraint bound by the rules, and the deep affection hidden in the thorough etiquette, which composes a tender love song belonging to Chang'an.
