Yu Youyao had a nightmare. In her dream, she was married to the Marquis’ son, Song Mingzhao, and had become a mere medicine-human for her third sister, Yu Jianjia. After having blood extracted from her heart for three years, Yu Youyao’s life was nearing its end, so her wrist was slit and she died just like that.
Upon waking up, her heart thumped wildly and she decided to choose the first man she saw to escape that tragic fate. Thus, she clung onto the leg of her maternal cousin who had come all the way from the You Kingdom. “Cousin, I’ll be good to you for the rest of my life.” 
Zhou Linghuai looked at the girl nestled in his arms. She had a lovely face and puppy eyes. Despite his usual ruthlessness, he suddenly found himself unable to reject her. And so, he became Yu Youyao’s protector, helping her to take revenge on those who bullied her, fend off the schemes of others, and reject all of her suitors. He even helped her attain glory and magnificence. 
Once Yu Youyao reached adulthood, events started to progress according to her dream. The Marquis’s son, Song Mingzhao, had indeed come to request for her hand in marriage. However, Zhou Linghuai pressed Yu Youyao against the wall and said in a low voice, “You’re mine. You can’t marry anyone else!”

All Hail Cousin Brother

After chatting, the residence sent Yu Shande and the others to the palace gate.

The process of the palace examination was the same as the second examination in front of the hall. Yu Shande and the others had gone through it once, and this time, they were much calmer.

At dawn, the palace door opened and the candidates entered.

Due to the palace examination, classes at home were suspended for another three days. Yu Youyao did not have to go to school, so she took a sachet that was already half-embroidered and sat under the Parasol Tree to embroider it.

Nanny Xu instructed Chun Xiao, "If she does it for too long, it'll hurt her eyes. Keep an eye on her from the side. Every three minutes, make some tea for Eldest Miss. She can only continue embroidering after resting for ten minutes."

Chun Xiao quickly agreed. "Nanny, don't worry. I understand."
