[Younger man, both inexperienced in love + fake heiress + wealthy-family showdown + rekindled love + five-year age gap]
[A top-tier succubus of a fallen heiress & a refined, twisted, obsessive wolfdog forensic pathologist]
Jiang Yuan was cheated on by her fiancé, then taken in by a two-faced jerk. A trip to an island resort landed her straight in the morgue.
The entire Jiang Group was schemed against and stripped bare along with her.
She woke up naked and found herself looking into a pair of familiar pale amber eyes.
The man was none other than the younger brother she'd angrily called a “plaything”!
After blow upon blow, Jiang Yuan took stock of her life. Her father had died unjustly, she'd been made the fall guy for her fiancé's infidelity, and she'd left with nothing. But from rock bottom, she bounced back and started her life over. The heiress had returned.

The first time Jiang Yuan crossed paths with Xue Xunzhi, he was only sixteen.
She hadn't been wrong. The boy, five years younger than her, was stubborn to the core. He looked innocent but was actually an insolent troublemaker. Instead of behaving like a respectful younger brother, he kept threatening to kill himself.
Jiang Yuan snapped, “If he wants to die, he can do it outside. Just don't die in my house, and definitely don't die in my bed!”
She was the one who said those cruel words, pulled out the thorn, and spoiled him rotten.
She played the field, but she couldn't keep him from fighting to claim her. From Beiwu to Nanhuai, the two were locked in a passionate, desperate entanglement.
Jiang Yuan had no idea what dark feelings this “younger brother,” who never called her “Sis,” had developed for her.
Nor did she expect that when they met again, he would be the one holding the scalpel over her on the dissection table.
He fixed his smoldering gaze on the rose that had once fallen into the mire, his eyes deep and inscrutable. “Sis, if you're going to die, you can only die in my bed.”
“This time, you're the one holding the scalpel, and I'll be your blade.”
