Everyone knows that the Prince of Zhenbei's household has a beloved cousin who is pampered beyond measure. Though fate marked her as a jinx who would bring about her parents' deaths, the cold and aloof young heir Shen Jie personally brought her back to the manor and raised her in luxury.
Yun Mei was small and timid as a child. As she grew up, she relied on Shen Jie's indulgence and became an unruly little tyrant in the capital, swaggering about and throwing her weight around all day. The only person who could make her nervous was Shen Jie.
People say that Shen Jie is cool and aloof on the surface, but gentle as jade, an unmatched gentleman of his age.
Only Yun Mei knows how frightening Shen Jie can be whenever she gets into trouble.
In the pitch-dark room, the bed curtains fall around her, blocking her sight and hearing. Helpless, Yun Mei can only bite her red lips and plead in a trembling voice.
"Mei'er touched five people with her hands today?"
Shen Jie holds her hand and whispers by her ear, "Then how about five times tonight?"
-
Shen Jie says this is discipline. Yun Mei was raised by him from childhood, so naturally she obeys his every word.
It is only when a young marquis happens to expose the truth that Yun Mei realizes Shen Jie has harbored those feelings for her all along.
In her panic, she disobeys Shen Jie for the first time, packs her things, and plans to run off to Jiangnan with the young marquis, far away from Shen Jie.
Just before the boat sets off, the curtain is suddenly pulled aside.
Shen Jie's cold face appears behind it. He gathers the trembling Yun Mei into his arms. "Why are you running? Hmm? Does your brother look like he would eat you?"
That night, Shen Jie devours Yun Mei completely.
-
The first time Shen Jie saw Yun Mei, she timidly tugged at his sleeve, her crying as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
Yet her eyes were clear and bright, stirring his compassion. He brought her back to the manor, raised her in luxury for all those years, indulged her until she became the most noble young lady in the capital, and waited eagerly to marry her.
But she ran away with someone else.
From then on, people in the capital could always see the proud, aloof and noble young master Shen holding Yun Mei, tears glistening at the corners of her eyes, in his arms, his expression tender.
"I spoil you during the day, and at night you have to indulge me. That's fair, isn't it?"
Fair.
The girl he raised belongs in his arms, free to be as spoiled as she pleases.
*Both are each other's only partner; happy ending
*It's actually a fluffy little sweet romance (nods) (absolutely certain)
