Yu Li has lost her memory. The problem is, she vaguely remembers that before she lost it, she may have abandoned a man after taking advantage of him.
Not long afterward, her mother brings home a handsome young man, saying he is Yu Li's cousin.
Her mother says his life has been hard. After his aunt died, his uncle doted on his concubine and made her his wife, then tormented the cousin in every way.
Her mother says he is frail and kindhearted, and Yu Li must protect him.
Pitying her cousin's plight, Yu Li nods. "I'll take good care of him."
Her delicate cousin is as bright as the moon and as gentle as the breeze. Yu Li curses, countless times in her heart, the people who could bear to hurt him.
Until one day, someone ambushes Yu Li. Just as she is overcome with desire, she suddenly remembers.
The red candles flicker. Above her, the man's tender eyes make her feel as if she might drown, while he keeps calling her "cousin."
But he isn't her cousin. He's the man she took advantage of and abandoned before she lost her memory, and now he's come to collect his debt.
Gu Jin struggles to escape, but the man catches her hand, lacing their fingers together and pinning her to the couch.
The man on the couch sheds his gentle, jade-like disguise. His eyes are languid and dangerous. "What, planning to run away again?"
In the middle of the night, their fingers entwine, and tender kisses fall.
"A Li, please take pity on me again."
The core premise remains unchanged. I'll add the title, blurb, and other details later~
Theme: Even when broken, we should still long for wholeness.
