[Gentle, sensitive young cousin × reserved, self-possessed older cousin]
[One longs for love, the other doesn’t understand it.]
Shen Zhao is a poor girl whose father never cared for her and whose mother died young. When her stepmother tries to marry her off to a wastrel, she flees to the Dingbei Marquis’s residence in the capital and becomes the marquis’s young cousin.
Shen Zhao was betrothed to Mu Yanzhen, the marquis’s eldest son, when they were children, and she has loved him since childhood. One dismissive remark from Mu Yanzhen, “It was just a childhood betrothal. It doesn’t count,” shatters all her hopes.
Her father comes from Yangzhou and forces her to return so he can marry her off to the wastrel. With no other choice, the marquise begins looking for a suitable match for her.
…
When the young General Lu comes to propose, offering to ask the emperor to issue an imperial decree for their marriage, Mu Yanzhen finally panics.
Usually so calm and restrained, Mu Yanzhen climbs through Shen Zhao’s window in the middle of the night and pins her against the dressing table.
“I don’t think of you as just a little sister. Don’t marry him, all right?”
[A classic old-school Mary Sue story]
It's a short article, like an ancient version of a prank kiss! Although women are always said to be stupid, I feel that they are not as stupid as Xiangqin 😂 and the male protagonist is not aloof and unapproachable like Naoki, and is even a little shady! It is very interesting! Mainly not that kind of long article, I really don't have the patience to read a long article 🤦 It is a sweet article, but also a bit funny! You can take a look!
