[Not Actually Siblings | Restrained Tension | They Both Fall]
She was the least-favored princess of the Shen imperial clan, regarded as ill-omened from childhood and raised in solitude.
He was the sole survivor of a family slaughtered to the last. The emperor personally brought him into the palace, gave him the name “Shen Lingyuan,” and made him one of the princes.
As children, she was the only one who didn't shun him. When they grew up, he became the one who pushed her away most cruelly.
She once believed that they were bound by blood, and that even if they grew apart, they would always be siblings.
But he knew better than anyone that he had never had any connection to the Shen imperial clan.
He plotted his way forward through a sea of blood and vengeance, turning his restraint into a blade.
She was lost beneath the emperor's madness, until one day she came to her senses and discovered that she was nothing more than the “Princess Qinghe” conjured by her father's delusions.
“Shen Lingyuan, why can you push me away so easily?”
“Shen Xianyue, stop coming near me.”
Yet for all his restraint, when she truly left, he called her childhood nickname in a low voice, his eyes red: “Suishui, don't go…”
A note before you begin: This is my first time writing a novel, and I don't have an outline for this story. I mostly write whatever comes to mind, so some elements are only there to serve the plot, and there may be logical inconsistencies. I haven't thought everything through, so the overall plot may feel… a little haphazard.
This is my first attempt, and I'm inexperienced, so please be understanding if anything doesn't make sense! Sumimasen QAQ
