The Cousin Comes to the Capital, and the Duke's Heir Won't Let Her Go

After her parents died, the orphan Chi Yue was targeted by her uncles, who planned to “eat her out of house and home.” They intended to make her an old man's concubine and seize the immense fortune her parents had left her! Chi Yue acted decisively, gathered her parents' fortune, slung a small bundle over her shoulder, and headed to the capital to seek refuge with her maternal aunt, the second madam of the Duke's estate. Just when she thought she had found a roof under which to settle, she escaped the wolf's den only to fall into the tiger's jaws! The Duchess seemed to have a deep-seated grudge against her mother, and her cousin made things difficult for her at every turn. Even the Duke's noble and incomparable heir began watching her with an increasingly intense gaze... Chi Yue had only wanted to marry into a respectable middle-class family and live an ordinary life. Who knew she'd end up the first-rank heir's wife, living a life of glory! (Mutual devotion + household intrigue + face-slapping and punishing scumbags + happy ending)
