The Mei family of Wanling has been an esteemed scholarly clan for three hundred years, with a household full of litterateurs and refined gentlemen that value natural simplicity, eschewing ostentatious extravagance. Their residences have many courtyards replete with pine and bamboo; though located within State City, they have a rarity—a peaceful retreat amidst the bustle.
Pavilions, terraces, and waterside arbors epitomize the misty rains and charm of Jiangnan Road.
In the southeastern part of the Mei family estate, Mei Wangsheng encountered his elder brother, a renowned gentleman of Jiangnan Road's scholar circles, who possessed a jade-like complexion and an air of gentle elegance. After exchanging pleasantries with a smile and exhibiting impeccable etiquette, he exuded a charm that one couldn't help but appreciate.
