It wasn’t until the crown prince Xie Jinlan returned home after being devolved for three years that Yun Dai saw his power and decided to please him.
However, she was surprised to find that all her awkward efforts to impress him were noticed by Xie Jinlan.
Xie Jinlan always knew what Yun Dai wanted.
She intentionally went up to him as she desired to establish a stable and secure life.
He was confident that he could control everything, so he let her get close, kept her by his side, and gave her everything she wanted.
Until that day, he accidentally heard the drunken Yun Dai murmuring her affection for him, and his usually calm heart suddenly became a little confused.
...
Xie Jinlan was aware that he could only marry a woman from a prestigious family as his first wife, not a relative of lower standing, so he never went out of his way towards Yun Dai.
However, his feelings changed dramatically when rumors about Yun Dai's possible suitors began to circulate. He looked at the girl who stumbled into his inner courtyard, and the cup in his palm was almost crushed by him.
He suppressed the discomfort in his heart and said: "If you ever face mistreatment after marriage, you can seek me out at the Duke's Mansion for help."
The light in Yun Dai's eyes dimmed and she replied, "Yun Dai appreciates my cousin for looking after me, and I also wish for my cousin to find a lovely partner."
Since that day, nobody referred to him as cousin and no one looked at his eyes lovingly. One dat he accidentally saw a scholar kissing Yun Dai on the corner of hee mouth.
Xie Jinlan's pupils narrowed, and he later realized the taste of regret and jealousy.
...
Later one night, the always kind man firmly directed Yun Dai's gaze towards him, compelling her to repeatedly confess, "Dai Dai, tell me you have feelings for me and no one else."
