Motivated by recent experiments on the real-time single-electron counting through a semiconductor GaAs double quantum dot (DQD) by a nearby quantum point contact (QPC), we develop the full-counting statistics of coupled DQD and QPC system. By utilizing the time-scale separation between the dynamics of DQD and QPC, we derive the modified master equation with tunneling rates depending on the counting fields, which fulfill the detailed fluctuation theorem. Furthermore, we derive universal relations between the non-linear corrections to the current and noise, which can be verified in experiments.
