Lin Yuejiao always thought that she and her cousin were in love.
My cousin is gentle, tolerant, good at both civil and military affairs, and everyone in the capital praises him for his orchid and jade trees. He is a rare good match.
Lin Yuejiao came to Beijing to live with her aunt since she was a child. At first, she was timid and stupid for fear of making others unhappy.
It was her cousin who taught her calligraphy, protected her from being bullied, and held her hand to see the sights of the capital.
He said: "Don't be afraid, Jiaojiao, my cousin is here."
She thought they would come together naturally.
But on the day Lin Yuejiao got her hairpin, he got engaged.
From that moment on, she was extremely fed up with his temperament of always smiling at everyone and being gentle to everyone.
"Cousin, I wish you a happy marriage."
She wants to run away, she wants to travel far, she wants to unilaterally break up with her cousin.

Jiang Ye's eyes were higher than his head, and he once looked down upon his cousin who came from the countryside.
She is illiterate and has no understanding of people. When they first met, she lowered her eyebrows and even spoke in a low voice, making it difficult for people to like her.
As the eldest son of the Hou family, Jiang Ye should rise to prominence step by step, and when he gets a wife in the future, he should be well-matched to his family. His mother asked him to take more care of his cousin, so he kept a smile on his face and took her to study in a strict manner.
But she is so clingy.
Jiang Ye thought, why can't she always understand polite words?
At the hairpin banquet, he smiled and presented a hairpin made by himself.
Maybe he has worn the mask for a long time, and he has become accustomed to playing a good brother.
Jiang Ye only regarded her sudden alienation as a child's tantrum, and secret messages from the secret guards were passed into the study day by day as usual.
Until he saw the letter: On the night of Chinese Valentine's Day, my cousin and the young master of the Gu family met at the Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake.
……
The moonlight was bright, Jiang Ye deliberately knocked down the lantern, and his cousin's clothes seemed to be flying into his arms——
But she slapped her face with red eyes: "Cousin, respect yourself! Don't let down your cousin!"
Later, Jiang Ye tore up the marriage certificate between her and Mr. Gu with an expressionless face.
He begged her: "Jiaojiao, I'm not getting married. Can you like your cousin again?"
Jiang Ye likes his cousin the most, and he likes his Jiao Jiao the most.
