Yu Ning was sent to the household at the age of six, supposedly to be raised as a future bride. In truth, he was treated worse than a servant.
He was never given enough to eat and was mocked every day.
Then one day, the young master brought him to his side.
The young master treated him well. Yu Ning called him cousin, and the young master always thought of him whenever something good came along.
He even gave Yu Ning plenty of spending money, which Yu Ning saved carefully, never daring to spend a single coin.
He planned to save enough to buy his freedom and stop being a servant.
His little nest egg grew, and his life seemed to be getting brighter by the day.
But he never expected the young master he regarded as an older brother to develop other feelings for him.
A young man came to live by Qi Jing'an's side. He was fair and fragrant, and especially after being bullied, his eyes would turn red like a little rabbit's.
At first, Qi Jing'an truly regarded Yu Nian as a younger brother and made sure he had plenty of delicious food and drink.
The little fellow sweetly called him older brother and cousin, following him around every day like a little tail.
The little fellow grew more and more beautiful, like a ripe peach, fragrant and tempting.
Even Qi Jing'an's friends wanted to take him away, and Qi Jing'an's first thought was...
He was the one who raised him. If anyone was going to pick that peach, it should be him.
That was what he thought, and that was what he did.
He pinned the little fellow beneath him. The soft little rabbit started baring his claws, but... he was adorable, and Qi Jing'an liked him very much. The little fellow was sweet, even sweeter than he had imagined.
But when he saw the little fellow's tear-reddened eyes the next day, he regretted it. Perhaps he had frightened him.
Then, in a single stroke of misfortune, the household was destroyed. Qi Jing'an thought this must be his punishment.
Everyone who could flee had fled, leaving Qi Jing'an alone.
The little fellow's mother came to take him away, and Qi Jing'an assumed the little fellow would leave too.
But unexpectedly, the little fellow brought out the savings he'd been hoarding.
"I... I have money now. You can't bully me from now on. If you behave, I'll support you.
Even though the young master is bad, my cousin is good."
Yu Ning thought that since the young master had been bought back, he should get his revenge and bully him in return. But when he saw the young master, who had once been as bright and noble as the moon, wearing a coarse cloth shirt, his heart ached.
The young master should have been the moonlight shining in the heavens.
After that, Yu Ning sold meat and cooked food during the day to provide for the young master's clothes and meals, always buying the most expensive things. Later, he even planned to send the young master to school.
Everyone said he'd lost his mind over Qi Jing'an, a spoiled playboy who would never amount to anything.
Watching little Yu Ning labor from morning to night until his chubby cheeks were nothing but skin and bone,
Qi Jing'an felt his heart ache. He resolved to study hard...
After that came the provincial graduate, the metropolitan graduate, and then the top palace graduate. The one thing that never changed was the person at his side: A Ning, his husband, the moonlight of his heart.
