Young Master Qin is only sixteen, yet he's already a notorious playboy in the capital, flirting with every pretty face he sees.
The only exception is his distant cousin Yue Rushuang, who has lived at the marquis's residence since childhood. Though she is as beautiful as a snow-white jade carving, he never gives her a second glance. If he happens to see her passing by while he's flirting with a maid, his mood immediately sours.
When people ask about his cousin, he says impatiently, "That ice block is cold and stiff. She doesn't seem like a woman at all."
When someone passes these words on to Yue Rushuang, she remains expressionless. "Oh."
Everyone assumes the young marquis despises his cool, unflappable cousin. So when she is about to become engaged, the young marquis rushes to his mother with a livid face. "This marriage can't happen."
But Yue Rushuang's expression remains cool. "Auntie, I think he's quite nice."
Under the night sky, the young marquis, reeking of alcohol, pins his cousin in a corner and wraps a large hand tightly around her slender waist beneath her loose robe. Only then does he realize how fragrant and soft she is.
His eyes red, as if he is about to cry, he drunkenly repeats just one thing: "Don't marry anyone else."
Yue Rushuang: "Then who should I marry?"
His voice turns hoarse. "M-Marry me..."
Yue Rushuang parts her vermilion lips, her voice cold as ice falling into a celadon cup. "Don't even think about it."
