Xiziqing

Crown Prince Yun Chi chose as his consort the youngest daughter of the Hua Family, Hua Yan, and the news shattered the hearts of countless ladies in the Capital City.
It was said: the Crown Prince could write poetry at three, compose essays at seven, debate with the greatest scholars at ten, shoot arrows with precision at twelve, oversee the examinations of all scholars at fifteen, and was regent by the time he was sixteen. He reached the pinnacle in letters, the extreme in martial arts, his looks were world-shaking, and his presence unrivaled.
Hua Yan felt as though a gigantic pie had fallen from the sky, landing squarely on her head.
From then on, was she to compete with the entire world for this man?
--------------------
Yun Chi: Standing at the pinnacle of the Azure Clouds, he learned the art of balance, practiced the strategies of an emperor, envisioned the land and skies in his heart. Within the nine-layered royal palace, he could turn his hands to clouds and his palms to rain, holding sway over the court and the nation, trimming himself into a figure free from desire and henceforth unyielding.
Hua Yan: She viewed herself as beneath the dust, with all her emotions and desires, disliking the Son of Heaven's court, preferring the ordinary alleys, treading on ten feet of soft red and experiencing all facets of life. She believed that nothing was better than green mountains and clear waters. "If you promise me a lifetime, I will accompany you for an eternity."

Schemes Of A Flower

The Little Fox had been affectionate with only three people since descending Yun Mountain: Yun Chi, Hua Zhuo, and Hua Yan.


Even at the Hua Family, among Hua Yan's many attendants, including the great-grandmother, the Little Fox wasn't immediately affectionate upon first meeting. If someone wanted to hold it, they would need to coax it, offering treats and toys, much like Lu Zhiling had to do to lure it away.


Yet, according to Lu Zhiling's account, the moment Su Zizhan appeared, the Little Fox abandoned him and followed Zizhan.


Hua Yan was also surprised. She looked at Lu Zhiling's resentful, cursing face and pondered thoughtfully.


"What do you think this is all about?" Lu Zhiling asked Hua Yan and added, "Su Zizhan said he and the Little Fox hit it off at first sight. Do I look hideous to you?"


Hua Yan couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Big brother is naturally not hideous. Don't listen to his nonsense."
