『The Exception That Is You』
Yuan Simeng
"The pride of the capital's top socialite, colliding with a wall that refuses to turn back." [The Apple of the Eye of a Four-Generation Aristocratic Clan] Yuan Simeng is the most beloved granddaughter of the head of the Yuan family, a prestigious scholarly household in the capital. Two hundred years ago, the Yuan family produced three "Three Excellencies" across four generations, earning them the title of a "Four-Generation Three Excellencies" scholarly dynasty. She grew up surrounded by luxury and the refined traditions of poetry and etiquette. She is a master of the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and can perform Western dances with ease—gifted with a natural talent so extraordinary that her peers don't even bother to envy her. Arrogant, spoiled, and willful, yet she has the capital to be so. The line of suitors chasing her stretches from the capital all the way to the gate of Mingde University, though she has never looked any of them in the eye.
