My Spoiled Cousin

The eldest young master of the Duke of Shen's household was Yu Chao's cousin.

After Yu Chao's parents died, the tutor in her home wrote to her cousin, asking him to let her stay with the Duke of Shen's household.

Her cousin replied with a refusal and sent her a box of gold.

But only a few days later, her aunt, who had been bedridden for years, personally came from the Duke of Shen's household to fetch her and gave her cousin a severe scolding.

She was fourteen when she moved into the Duke of Shen's household in Chang'an. Just two years later, she began managing the household's accounts.

That was because her cousin was an irresponsible playboy. He spent his days racing horses and drinking with the capital's young noblemen. Over those two years, there were countless times she had to take people out late at night to carry him home...

Until one day, he fell from his horse during a wild ride and nearly ruined his face.

When he was carried back, his face and body were still streaked with blood. His head was split open, and his leg was broken.

Once so arrogant and unruly, now his handsome face was covered in wounds.

"Cousin, can't you try to do something right for once? If you won't think about yourself, at least think about my aunt, who's been ill for years. She's already so sick, and how much longer are you going to make her worry about you..."

That day, she wept uncontrollably.

Her slender figure was like a flower bud swaying in a storm, so delicate and so pitiful.

His eyes reddened. The hot tears falling onto the back of his hand seemed, this time, to have dripped straight into his heart.

But his proud brows rose again in an instant, and he said sharply, "I'm not your cousin. Don't call me that again."

Years later, when the truth of his birth became known to all, he appeared before Yu Chao in splendid robes. "Yu Chao, it seems we won't be able to be brother and sister in this life."

That single tear was destined to bind you together until your hair turned white.

* They are not related by blood. Their romance begins after their familial relationship is severed. The male lead is not the Duke's son.

* One-on-one, both virgins

* Arrogant and unruly x gentle on the outside, strong-willed within
