[Forced Possession | The Untouchable Beauty Breaks Down | A World of Difference in Status | 1v1]
Yao Yuxue was born into a wine-making family. With skin as fair as snow and beauty like a flower, she had grown used to her father's fickleness. Her only wish was to find a good man.
When her father got into legal trouble and her stepmother came weeping with her young brother, she had no choice but to swallow her pride and go to the Hanlin Residence, where she knelt at Cui Ling's feet.
Cui Ling came from the Cui family of Jinling. A brilliant scholar with elegant literary talent, he was as famous for his academic achievements as he was for his strict propriety.
Whenever he went out, his clothes had to be neat and spotless, without the slightest unpleasant odor. When he returned, there could not be a single crease.
Yao Yuxue was the exception.
He could tolerate her untidy clothes and her crude speech. Though he disapproved of her taste in men, it did not matter.
He would keep an eye on her and make sure she did not regret her marriage.
Until the day she came to him for another man, smiling with such innocent charm, her heart full of devotion. Only then did he feel jealousy tear him apart.
So that was what it had all been about: he coveted her.
But she had never once looked at him with that kind of longing.
I hate the bright moon hanging high above, for it shines on everyone but me.
