Everyone said Shen Yuan, the adopted son of the Marquis of Dingbei’s household, was a sickly weakling, easy prey for bullies and unfit to show his face in public.
Only Shen Li knew he was no sickly weakling: he was a wolf in sheep’s clothing!
Reborn, Shen Li watched the young man in the corner coughing up blood, and her heart ached.
That was the future God of War, the Seventh Prince! The powerful ally she had longed for in her previous life, but could never win over!
And so the people of the capital witnessed a bizarre scene:
The once arrogant and overbearing Shen family heiress was now doting on the marquis’s adopted son like he was the most precious person in the world.
The Third Prince sidled up with feigned sincerity. “Li’er, I cherish you like a priceless treasure...”
Shen Li sneered and kicked him away. “Get lost! You’re in the way of me buying candy for my little brother!”
Later, the Seventh Prince became a feared power broker, a cold-faced judge of the underworld.
Someone asked, “Your Highness, why do you dote on the Shen family’s young lady above all others?”
The man ran his fingers over his ring, his gaze dark and profound. “Among countless people, she once chose to protect only me.”
I like to pamper my younger brother. I wish to win the heart of one person and stay together forever.
Passion and a touch of love go hand in hand. A pair for life.
