A Cup of Love / The Daughter of the Concubine (Yi Ou Chun) 一瓯春 by 尤四姐 You Si Jie (HE)

The entire world has let her down—except for Shen Run. He would never betray her. This experienced man, having weathered countless storms and seen the brightest of lights and the most dazzling of cities, had set his sights on her. Once he did, his heart became as steadfast as a rock, willing to stop at nothing to protect her.

The delicate young woman was like a fragile flower, requiring careful nurturing to ensure she wouldn’t be crushed. Once, she was kept in someone else’s vase; even just to admire her, he had to rack his brains for excuses to visit.

Now, she has been transplanted into his garden, where he provides her with rich soil and gentle rain, allowing her to grow as freely as she desires. All he asks for in return is the chance to see her, time and time again.
