Three years ago, on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Fourth Brother Ye Yunqiao was dozing beneath the osmanthus tree in the Grand Tutor's residence.
Meng Zhaozhao secretly planted a kiss on his lips.
The next day, rumors spread throughout Yanjing. To save face for the family, her adoptive mother forced her to marry a spoiled playboy.
Knowing how wronged she felt, her grandmother took her south to their hometown, helping her escape the marriage.
Three years later, she returned.
Ye Yunqiao was still unmarried, and so was she. Their feelings began to stir once more.
To shed the identity of “little sister,” she moved out of the Grand Tutor's residence, set up on her own, and opened a clinic, hoping to stand openly by his side.
The clinic had barely opened when trouble began piling up. Just as she found herself bogged down and struggling to move forward, Ye Yunqiao, trying to avoid gossip, accepted a fragrant sachet from another young lady right in front of her.
When she was at her most helpless, that obnoxious young nobleman, Fu Yu'an, quietly stepped in to shield her time and again.
