Qin Muzheng is only a concubine-born daughter of the prime minister’s household. She has a father but no mother, and grew up fighting with all sorts of stepmothers. She loves her family, but has never thought about marrying some man and starting a family of her own. Whether it’s her childhood friend and gentle, refined first cousin, Yin Zhuolin, or her second cousin, Yin Zhuoyuan, who loves her deeply but keeps his thoughts to himself, neither can make their way into her heart. With them around, life is nice, but without them, it seems nothing would change. As the years pass and she searches and searches, will she figure out who she wants, and what she wants? This is not a fluffy story, and it’s a slow burn. If it’s not for you, please don’t complain; just move along.
