The Cousin’s Daughter Is as Sweet as Jade, and the Third Prince Deliberately Pursues Her

On the very first day Lin Yunyan enters the household, her refined and gentle cousin warns her not to covet what does not belong to her. Her older female cousin is just as high and mighty, bullying and humiliating her every day as if she were a lowly weed. Her uncle treats her as if she were invisible. Her aunt secretly schemes to marry her off to an old widower whose three previous wives have died, as his next wife. They all see her as a choice piece of meat, rubbing their hands together as they prepare to sell her for a good price. A country bumpkin like her should have lived her whole life hidden from the world, trampled underfoot. But one day, when the lofty Third Prince, adored by everyone, turns his gaze toward her, Lin Yunyan suddenly decides that clinging to wealth and status might not be so bad after all. At least, when she sees those who once looked down on her and bullied her in every way now groveling at her feet, hoping she'll spare them for old times' sake, she feels that life isn't so bad. The Third Prince, Wei Yong, is steadfast, composed, and exceptionally gifted. He has always been the celestial dragon in the sky and the moon in the water that everyone in the capital pursues. After a twist of fate, a secondary consort joins his household. She's said to be a rare beauty, breathtakingly lovely, and he falls for her at first sight, unable to bear letting her out of his arms. But later, rumors spread throughout the capital that this beauty's father once offended the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is said to have flown into a terrible rage. The Third Prince and the Crown Prince are brothers with a deep bond. For the sake of that bond, surely he ought to have this beauty put to death. Yet Wei Yong is willing to brave the danger just to keep her by his side.
