The Young Lady Is Determined to Raise Him

Blurb:

After Ning Wanwan's mother passed away, her loving maternal aunt took her home and raised her.

Her aunt treated her like her own daughter, and the three older brothers and two sisters in the household all adored her.

Ning Wanwan was perfectly happy with how things were. She just wanted to take advantage of living under the same roof and coax one of the brothers into marrying her.

Mu Xuanyang, the Marquis's eldest son, had helped arrange marriages for both his younger brothers, yet his sweet and delicate little cousin still hadn't given him the time of day. Unable to stand it any longer, he asked his younger sister to sound her out.

Fifth Miss Mu Xuanyi also found it baffling. "If all else fails, why not consider my eldest brother? He's better than my second brother in both literary and military skills, and he doesn't lose to my third brother in looks..."

Ning Wanwan panicked and couldn't stop crying. "But... but he's so big! He'd definitely be impossible to tame!"

Mu Xuanyang: ...
