The Rumor: They say Old Madam Jiang brought her home to be the bride for the eldest Jiang grandson. The Rumor: They say her humble origins make her unworthy of entering the Jiang family gates. The Rumor: They say she fell in love with the eldest Jiang scion at first sight, but he treats her with nothing but disdain. The First Encounter She sat by the lotus pond of the Jiang family mansion, reading a book. Though dressed simply in a white T-shirt and black cloth trousers, he saw in her the timeless charm of a classical beauty. Her elegance was bone-deep. When her book fell, he called out to her. She turned at the sound of his voice. In that moment, she suddenly understood the meaning of the phrase "A gentleman is like fine jade." He is the bright, noble gentleman, gentle as jade; she is the transcendent lady, reserved and upright. If someone were to ask her: "What is your greatest harvest from coming to Haicheng?"
