[Delicate childhood sweetheart x A future prime minister who looks like a jade but is actually ruthless and cruel] ... more>>

When Ah Li was nine, a young man, seriously injured, came to stay next door. He had striking features—sharp brows, clear eyes, and an unmatched handsomeness. Ah Li secretly admired him for a long time.

At fourteen, she overheard that he had been “abandoned.” Summoning her courage, she ran to him and said, “Don’t be sad. If she doesn’t want you, I do.”

Huo Jue’s response was swift—he threw her out. Standing there in the bright spring sunlight, his eyes colder than the ice piles on Kaiyang Lake, he looked at her with an expression as indifferent as stone.

Feeling hurt, Ah Li left. But two days later, she returned with a small, handmade pouch. The young man who answered the door seemed somehow changed.

He looked at her silently, his deep gaze weighted with unspoken emotion as if it had traveled across time to find hers.

After a long pause, he gently brushed a strand of hair from her shoulder. A faint smile softened his usual coldness as he asked, “Ah Li, do the words you said that day still hold true?”

Without hesitation, Ah Li replied, “Yes, they do.”

Ah Li always believed that she had reached out and pulled Huo Jue back from his solitude.

But one day, she found an old book. Page after page, she discovered countless sketches of herself: Ah Li at nine, at ten, at eleven… each line drawn with painstaking care.

In that moment, she realized—long before she had ever noticed him, Huo Jue had been quietly, secretly, in love with her. <<less
