Ye Bao'er was the baggage her mother brought with her when she married into the Xie family. After her parents died, her unwilling stepbrother was forced to bring her back to the capital. She thought it would be nice if they could just live together peacefully as brother and sister.
At the Lantern Festival, Bao'er falls into danger. Xie Huaixu chooses to save Yuli first, nearly costing Bao'er her reputation.
Bearing the pain in her body, she looks at Xie Huaixu’s livid face and forces a smile. Her voice trembles with grief: “Yuli is your cousin. As long as she’s all right, I’m fine.”
Xie Huaixu’s gaze darkens.
Until Bao'er accepts a betrothal hairpin from her childhood friend and watches him press his lips to hers...
Xie Huaixu’s expression turns icy as he looks at the childhood friend with utter contempt. “How could a lowborn man like Shen, the top scholar, ever be worthy of my younger sister?”

One-on-one, happy ending
My upcoming novel, The Proud Young Lord Goes Mad After a Matchmaking Date, is now available. A celestial immortal from the clouds x a dazzling beauty of wealth and status.
Yangyang is peerlessly beautiful and the legitimate daughter of the richest family in the capital. In an era when merchants are considered the lowest of the low, she falls in love with the vastly different heir of the Duke of Zhenguo. The young lord is noble and refined, like an immortal from the clouds, the model of a noble young gentleman in the city, and the secret dream countless young noblewomen dare entertain only in their boudoirs.
Yangyang’s delusional pining, given the huge gap in their status, has always been a source of mockery among the noble families. But she has never thought herself unworthy of him.
That night, at a celebration for the young lord’s appointment to the cabinet, Yangyang was more excited than anyone else. She carried the gift she had spent three days and nights making to congratulate him.
But then she heard other young gentlemen laugh. “She’s just the daughter of a lowly merchant. What makes her think she can pine after our unattainable beauty?”
After a long silence, his cool, watery voice finally spoke: “Let her realize she has no chance and give up.”
Yangyang froze. She had always thought that he had accepted her attention because he liked her at least a little. So he had only been waiting for her to realize she had no chance and give up...
Amid the laughter filling the hall, Yangyang tasted humiliation for the first time.
The next day, when they ran into each other, the young lord waited as usual for her to come running over with a smile and link arms with him.
But she walked right past him, smiling as she linked arms with her cousin.
A nobleman nearby joked, “Looks like she finally knows her place.”
The young lord clenched his hand inside his sleeve, losing all composure and restraint. His voice turned cold: “A merchant’s daughter is the right match for her.”
His words carried clearly to Yangyang’s ears.
Then, on the night of the full moon, he watched her cousin set off fireworks across the whole city and propose to her. His normally unshakable expression finally cracked. Throwing away all decorum, he grabbed her hand in full view of everyone and, holding back his fury, said in a low voice: “Just try saying yes!”
Yangyang raised an eyebrow. “I’ll do just that.”

Playing tricks again! Dead man! He must be tortured severely! Chasing Wife Crematorium
The copywriting has been changed again... I still like the previous copywriting. The previous copywriter, Baoer, was always unmoved and only had a brother-sister relationship with the male protagonist. It was only after the male protagonist chased his wife in the crematorium that she felt refreshed. Now that Baoer has been unconsciously attracted to the male protagonist, my mother, it feels so boring to watch the rest of it like this. Most of the copywriting has been changed several times. I was attracted by the previous copywriting. I said, why is the current content a bit inconsistent with the previous copywriting? After all, the previous copywriting showed that Baoer has never been tempted. I like the female protagonist to never abuse the male protagonist, but now it seems...
The male protagonist doesn't want to find a way to marry the female protagonist, and he looks cold every day. I don't know what the use is.
Ah, it feels so uncomfortable to be hidden. The two male supporting actors are so good. I wish we could meet each other in popo!
I can't stand the fact that the heroine is too teasing, and now I regret buying multiple chapters at once... And the male protagonist's love for the female protagonist is really inexplicable... Slipped away
Why do I hate the male protagonist more and more as I watch it? It's not just this one guy.
How to enter the palace based on the heroine's IQ
I have never seen such a stupid heroine
I said before that as long as Baoer finally backed down because of a few words from his grandmother, he made up his mind this time and knew the truth. What would he do if there was no such truth?
