He is the young duke adored by everyone, with handsome looks and a distinguished family.
She is the eldest daughter, unloved by her father and ignored by her mother, who is mistreated by her stepmother.
One day, the old madam of the Duke’s household decides to find her only grandson a wife. He wants no part of it.
Who knew a gentle blade could cut so deep?
A little scene:
Zhou Shiyi was furious, the corners of her eyes red and her hands trembling slightly.
She looked at the carefree Tang Zhuo. Knowing he was testing her, she raised her hand and slapped him.
The sharp crack left everyone in the room frozen like wooden dolls.
One by one, they slipped out of the room.
Tang Zhuo had never been struck before. The burning pain in his cheek was no less intense than the kiss she had left there the last time.
But instead of anger, he felt his heart trembling.
Was she this angry because she cared about him?
So the young duke pressed his handsome face against her hand, his eyes clear as a spring.
“Calmed down yet? If not, give me another couple~”
Zhou Shiyi gritted her teeth, still seething. His antics caught her off guard, and she reached out to push him away, but he grabbed her hand.
“Did I hurt your hand? Let me see.”
Zhou Shiyi: ...
Why is this guy... like the dog he keeps? He gets slapped and still wags his tail?
Overall, it's okay, but Song Yuan's extra story gave me the feeling that it wasn't finished.
