Wrapped in Your Embrace

Wanwan was born with skin as fair as snow and beauty like a flower. She was lively and adorable, but unfortunately, she had terrible luck. She lost both her parents at the age of eight and became a cousin who lived under the roof of the Minister of Revenue. Fortunately, her uncle and cousins treated her well, so life wasn't too hard to bear. Then one day, she accidentally fell into the water. After recovering from a serious illness, Wanwan suddenly discovered that she could sometimes hear other people's thoughts. Her cousin, who had always treated her with such care, was thinking: "I can't believe she survived. I should've thrown her down a well in the first place." Her cousin, her childhood sweetheart who had always protected her, was secretly thinking: "After being sick, she's gotten even more slender. All those years I spent keeping her close weren't wasted. She can't do much for me, but she'd make a suitable concubine." Even her uncle and aunt, who had always doted on her, had only taken her in to make up for swallowing the vast fortune her parents left her. The only exception was Gu Jin, the Marquis of Weiyuan. The first time they met, he'd just killed a man with his own hands, frightening Wanwan into tears. Beneath his cold expression, he was thinking: "Hmm, she likes bright-colored clothes and jade jewelry. Why does she look thinner again? Is the Yu family skimping on her meals?" The Marquis of Weiyuan, Gu Jin, was cold and ruthless by nature. He was equally at ease in court and on the battlefield, but the one time he stumbled was right at the start: he had made the young woman avoid him like the plague. Watching her act soft and sweet around other people, Gu Jin patiently endured it for months. At last, unable to take it any longer, he decided to use a few tactics. But the young woman who had always kept her distance from him suddenly began following close at his side. Her lively, watery eyes looked at him timidly as she asked in a trembling voice: "The marquis... would you care to join me on the lake tomorrow?" Everyone knew there was a live-in cousin at the Minister Chen's residence. Though she came from humble origins, she had lofty ambitions and was always trying to get close to the powerful, woman-averse Marquis of Weiyuan. She had become the talk of the capital. Then the marquis married that cousin, welcoming her with all his wealth and a lavish bridal procession stretching ten miles. He even declared personally: "Wanwan is willing to marry me, so I am the one marrying above my station. If anyone dares to gossip and upset the Marchioness, they will bear the consequences!" The whole capital was left speechless.
