Spring Mountains Trapped in Clouds

Liang Youjin was the notorious little tyrant of the academy, unruly and despised by all. For the first time, he clumsily fell for someone, only to find their heart already occupied by a gentle and kind "white moonlight," leaving no room for him. He poured out his devotion and affection, but all he received in return was: "In this life, apart from him, I will never love anyone else." Everyone dismissed his confessions as mere jokes, yet as years passed, he remained steadfast by that person’s side for seven years—from the bustling academy halls to the solemn imperial court, from a reckless youth to a mature man. Sadly, before he could earn a reply from the one he loved, he succumbed to illness and died alone in his bed. Unbeknownst to him, after years of drifting in despair, Jiang Yueming unexpectedly reincarnated back to their academy days. Liang Youjin was still the infamous little bully, perched arrogantly on a moonlit courtyard wall. In a daze, Jiang Yueming looked up—only for a shoe to land on his shoulder, followed by a glimpse of luminous yet fiercely feigned eyes. Liang Youjin flashed a row of white teeth in threat: "If you dare report me to the teacher again, I’ll drag you down with me, I swear." "..." ** Not long after, rumors spread like wildfire across the capital: Jiang Yueming, the fourth son of the Jiang family, intended to abandon his military career to study medicine. The world called him insane—a prodigy from a distinguished martial family, throwing away a promising future under the emperor’s favor. Yet Jiang Yueming knelt before his father, spine unbent even as the lash tore his flesh to shreds, lips sealed in stubborn silence.
