My Beautiful Cousin Was Seized by a Powerful Minister

[1v1 + Powerful man bends first + Push and pull + Groveling pursuit]

[Upright gentleman at first, dark and unhinged later]

[The heroine wants it, the heroine gets it]

After a sudden upheaval left her parents dead, Jiang Yuqiong had no choice but to head north and seek refuge with her aunt.

Later, by a twist of fate, she fell for her aunt's stepson: Shi Yuanqian, heir to the Duke's household.

His family background, looks, and talents were all exceptional.

She had been beautiful since childhood and was used to people fawning over her.

Jiang Yuqiong was convinced that if she made a move, no one could resist her.

So when Shi Yuanqian failed to fall for her, Jiang Yuqiong was furious.

What a bastard!

How dare he!

Shi Yuanqian's first impression of Jiang Yuqiong was simple: beautiful.

But her attempts at seduction were painfully obvious.

She relied on her pretty face to do whatever she wanted, assuming that everyone would naturally fall at her feet.

Shi Yuanqian thought he ought to be annoyed by Jiang Yuqiong.

She was stupid and vain, with almost nothing going for her besides her looks.

But it turned out he was just that shallow.

[Warnings: Neither lead is a saint. The heroine is overconfident and dark in nature, with an extremely high sense of her own worth.]
