After years of seclusion and heartbreak, Lan Xichen releases his sacred forehead ribbon into the wind - a silent farewell to his past and a lover who betrayed him. But fate has other plans. When Jiang Cheng, visiting Gusu with his sharp tongue, broken ribbon, and hidden beauty, unknowingly ties Lan Xichen's forehead ribbon into his hair, he sets off a storm of scandal and surprise. In Lan culture, only lovers or fiancés may touch that ribbon - and now, Jiang Cheng is bound by an unspoken promise he never meant to make. Lan Qiren is horrified. Wei Wuxian is too late to stop it. Lan disciples are stunned. And Lan Xichen? For the first time in years, he finds himself watching again - this time not a memory, but a man who glows even as he glares. Can one ribbon truly choose its owner? Or has fate tied together two hearts that never expected to meet? A chaotic, beautiful, and slow-burning romance where misunderstanding meets destiny, and a ribbon changes everything. --- xicheng ff
