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

Seeing the speechless expression on the aide's face, the King of Zhenxi felt embarrassed. "Yin Huaixi is far away in the southern desert. We don't know what the news from the grassland is like. The news that came back was all spread by him. Who knows whether he returned early and set up a plan in advance in the North? Otherwise, why would he besiege the capital without any warning? Thief Liang broke through like a hot knife through butter and entered the capital. Even the King of Dongning doesn't dare to underestimate him. How can he be easily besieged?"

Just because Thief Liang had entered the capital did not mean that he was completely in control.

Yin Huaixi had used the news from the southern desert to numb the King of Liang, making him think that King Yue Fei was still far away in the desert and had yet to return. He had let down his guard against King Yue Fei, which was why he had fallen into King Yue Fei's trap and was unexpectedly besieged.
