The Mute Young Master and His Chatty Childhood Sweetheart

share time: 2026-02-12 12:41:28

Gu Zhao, the legitimate son of the Gu family, became mute after a high fever in childhood and has a cold, reserved personality. Yet he’s been followed for 15 years by Su Xiaoman, the spoiled youngest daughter of the General’s Mansion—she’s the little tail yelling “Zhao Zhao” as she chases him down alleys, the protective chatterbox who jumps to his defense and scolds his bullying cousins until they flee, and the “silly girl” who secretly saves half a year’s allowance to buy him his favorite wolf-hair brush. Gu Zhao never says “I love you,” but he silently takes the blame when Xiaoman gets into trouble and stays up all night making ginger tea when she’s sick. Xiaoman never fears “trouble”—even when everyone calls Gu Zhao a “worthless mute,” she grabs his hand and shouts: “I’ll live the most vibrant life for both of us!” But Gu Zhao hides a secret: his voice has slowly recovered thanks to a doctor’s treatment. He just couldn’t bear to give up Xiaoman’s eager insistence on “speaking for him.” Until one day, Xiaoman is kidnapped by villains trying to hurt him. Gu Zhao finally drops his pretense, yelling “Xiaoman!”—the name he’s hidden for a decade. She stares, tears streaming: “You… you can talk?!” He pulls her into his arms, voice rough with emotion: “I didn’t want to before. But now? I want to say I love you. I want to live this lively life—with you.”
