[A brother and sister save each other, a money-loving heiress who turns crazy in reverse vs. a scheming heir pretending to be a bandit]
Good news: Xia Wanying is reborn before her whole family is poisoned to death!
Bad news: Her hapless biological brother is a hopeless simp, kneeling in the pouring rain and begging their father to let the white-lotus heroine into the family.
In her previous life, her brother was swindled out of the family fortune for the sake of that white lotus, and the whole family met a tragic end.
Reborn, Xia Wanying finally gets it: let go of the urge to help, and fight magic with magic!
Every time her brother acts like a simp, she'll take things one step further and “fall into depravity.”
When her brother wants to give the white lotus a shop, Xia Wanying spends fifty taels that very night to hire a bandit, then leads him in smashing up the family's accounts office.
When her brother is ready to defy the whole family for the white lotus, Xia Wanying grabs the bandit and announces in front of everyone, “Brother, if you dare marry her today, I'll spend tonight in bed with a bandit and give him ten children!”
Xia Yunting: ??? Has someone possessed my sister?
The old Xia Wanying: Gentle! Refined! Reasonable!
The new Xia Wanying: Bad-tempered! Unhinged! Doesn't care if she lives or dies!
To save his wayward sister, Xia Yunting no longer has time to be a simp. All he thinks about is how to assassinate the bandit who led her astray.
After driving her brother into becoming a “sister-protecting maniac,” Xia Wanying thinks she can hand over fifty taels and a divorce letter, then leave with her job done. But instead, she's cornered against a wall.
The bandit is actually the long-lost heir to the Prince of Zhenbei, a ruthless man who serves at the imperial court!
“I hear you want to have your fun and then dump me?”
Xia Wanying frantically waves her hands and backs away. “Waaah... It's all a misunderstanding! The son-in-law contract has expired. I wouldn't dare hold back Your Highness's future!”
Qin Zhao gives a cold laugh and lifts her chin with one hand. “Isn't it a little late to say that now? You promised me ten children. We won't be done until we've had every one.”
