My Cousin Is Stunning, and the Cool, Powerful Official Keeps Losing His Composure

The day the real heiress came to the door, Meng Tingyun fell from the clouds into hell. Her mother forced her to marry and become a second wife.

With no other choice, Meng Tingyun turned to her cousin, begging him to let her stay at his estate.

Xie Qingyan despised his ingratiating aunt and uncle, and he disliked their daughter too.

She was alluring, unwilling to stay within the bounds of propriety, and the very picture of a femme fatale.

Yet this was the very person he loathed, kneeling before him and weeping with heartbreaking vulnerability.

Later, Xie Qingyan assumed Meng Tingyun had stayed at the estate because she wanted to become his bedmate.

Though shocked and furious, he also thought that keeping her there as a concubine might not be such a bad idea.

A beautiful young lady lived at the Marquis's residence. Her looks were so breathtaking that all the young gentlemen of the capital had heard of her, even the Crown Prince, who came to ask Xie Qingyan about her.

At first, Xie Qingyan thought his cousin was trouble, a source of endless complications.

In the end, he fell hopelessly in love, with no way back.

Only then did he discover that his cousin felt nothing for him.

So what if she felt nothing? He would keep her by his side anyway.
