"Your name is Chang Ning?" The young master in embroidered clothes smiled faintly like the sun in the clouds." Chang Ning can't compare to Chang Ning. How about I call you Chang Ning from now on?" The year she first met Jun Yihan, Yu Changning was only twelve years old. She was in the prime of her youth, and the gentle young master had bestowed her with a name that made her live half her life for him. The path she had walked in her life was too long and too full of twists and turns. It was impossible to describe the thousands of sails she had seen in a few short sentences. In her later memories, the past was too complicated, and some of them were even unclear. Other than that gentle young master who kept her by his side in the name of love, it seemed that there was only a young man in red who was always vivid and lively in her heart.
