A Lifetime of Spring with You

Synopsis

At the Lantern Festival, I fell into the water. By the time someone pulled me out, the crowd had seen my face. “Isn't that Miss Cui?” “What a fortunate young man! Marry her after saving her, and there's no telling how far you'll rise.” I lowered my head in embarrassment. I was done for. My parents had planned to send me into the palace as a prince's consort. Now I'd fallen into the water and been touched by a stranger. Their dream lay in pieces. My masked rescuer pitched his voice high and sniffled. “How dreadful! I'm a young lady myself. Why should I have to marry Miss Cui? You gawkers are no good at all!” Nine chi tall, yet speaking in such a soft, coquettish voice, my rescuer left everyone unsure whether they were looking at a man or a woman. Then I noticed the wrist guard. I'd given it to my brother's fellow student, Ji Yunqing, now the third-place laureate. At seventeen, I had loved him in secret for five years. But a daughter of the Cui family and a man like Ji Yunqing were no match in social standing.
