This marks my debut novel, delving into the intertwining love story between an elite family scion and a commoner's daughter. It portrays the journey from acquaintance to affection, culminating in marriage, only to be tested by the intrusion of a third party, leading to an inevitable separation and the arduous pursuit of reconciliation by the scion.

The male lead is a strikingly handsome man, born into wealth with a lineage of affluent forebears. Conversely, his mother toils in a lowly job, viewed unfavorably by society. His wife hails from a humble background, subjected to relentless schemes by her mother-in-law, nearly driven from her home. Despite facing countless obstacles, the love between the male and female leads endures. Their romance unfolds amidst trials and tribulations, ultimately transcending hardship and enduring across lifetimes.

The most exhilarating thing for Old Master Zhang in his lifetime was that his grandson never disappointed him. From beginning to end, no matter what happened, he never made any decision that left him feeling unhappy or helpless. Every step he took followed the path that I had taught him; he lived his life the same way one would tour The Old Summer Palace, adhering entirely to the method I laid out for him. Yes, he lived a tiring life, but he forgot what he truly ought to do in this life. He never thought about how he should walk the path that was most suited for him. He gave all the rhythms of his life to me, yet he never considered when or where he might finally reach the life he truly desired. He always placed all his trust in me but never thought about the possibility that, one day, I might lead him astray.
