Xiang Qianyue, hailed as "the capital's number one among the Ten Great Young Ladies," regretted it countless times... When she was ten, Qianyue beat up a young man's little black dog. The next day, he cornered her in a narrow alley, baring his teeth in a cold, grim smile. Terrified, Qianyue huddled in the corner, cowering. Unwilling to accept this, Qianyue went to the palace to complain to her senior apprentice brother, the Crown Prince, but suddenly spotted the black-haired boy standing behind him. The boy turned out to be her second senior apprentice brother, who had left home in rebellion! Her second senior brother grinned arrogantly. Tears filled Qianyue's eyes, and she bit her lip, afraid to speak. From then on, whenever she ran into the dog-walking young man next door, Qianyue would hide. But then her unscrupulous senior apprentice brother, now on the throne, went and arranged a marriage between them. That night, while her despairing father, the Grand Secretary, gave her his final instructions, Qianyue climbed the wall in an attempt to flee the wedding. Just as she was climbing over the high wall, an iron chain caught around her ankle. Straddling the wall, Qianyue was mortified. She looked down to see the young man holding the chain used to leash his dog. He flashed his white teeth and grinned brazenly.
"My little junior sister sure has gotten bold, hasn't she?"
[Male Lead's Perspective]
Bian Zhanduan: I smile whenever I see my little junior sister. I walk my dog outside the gate every day just so I can run into the little junior sister next door. But why does she always hide from me?
Xiang Qianyue: QAQ Second Senior Brother is scarier every time he smiles than the dog he walks...
