If there is one man in the capital these days who is most eligible for marriage, it is Pei Zhaoye, heir to the Duke of Pei.
He is of noble birth, handsome, and keeps himself chaste. Yet though he has reached the age of twenty, he has still not married.
Some say that Young Master Pei has impossibly high standards and won't settle for common beauties.
Some say that Young Master Pei has a hidden ailment and cannot marry or have children.
Some say that Young Master Pei has someone in his heart and is saving himself for his beloved.
When these entertaining rumors from the streets reached the ears of the true scions of the nobility, they all burst out laughing.
There was only one reason Pei Zhaoye couldn't find a wife: his sharp tongue.
Wen Mianrong: "Young Master Pei still hasn't become engaged. Has your family not arranged any introductions?"
Pei Zhaoye: "What's the point of arranging anything? I just don't want to get married, so what?"
Wen Mianrong: "Oh? Is it not because you're waiting for me?"
Pei Zhaoye: "Y-you... don't talk nonsense! Who's waiting for you!"
Theme: Love begins without warning, then grows ever deeper.
Great luck! 🐶🌹
