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

No matter how the situation developed, Yu Youyao was still a victim.

The Duke Rong's Residence had done something dirty and was in the wrong, so they would not dare to slander her.

Consort Xu cared about the Third Prince's reputation and wanted to settle the matter, so she would not dare to do anything to her.

The Princess Consort of Duke Rong's Residence felt suffocated.

The old princess continued, "Once the ugly matter of ruining someone's reputation is exposed, not only will it damage the face of the royal family, but the reputation of the royal family will also be ruined. The person who wants to settle the matter the most and not make a fuss is Consort Xu." At this point, she stared at the princess consort of Rong Prefecture with her turbid eyes. "In order to appease the Yu Residence's anger, Consort Xu will only push all the blame to Duke Rong's Residence."

The Princess Consort of Duke Rong's Residence's lips trembled.
