[A tearful, flirtatious fake heiress + a sharp-tongued yet soft-hearted true heir with a difficult past]
[Historical romance + mutual devotion + charged push and pull + secret love]
When she was ten, on the day Lou Xiangyi, the legitimate daughter of the General's Manor, lost her mother, her father, General Lou Jing of Weiyuan, brought a boy home and told her to call him "Brother." Lou Xiangyi hated her father and this "bastard." They were the reason her mother had spent years in misery before finally passing away. She was not at all pleased by the sudden arrival of this unfamiliar older brother, and often made things difficult for him.
Lou Sijing also loathed this haughty, bossy little sister. Years of hardship had taught him to endure and find humor in suffering. Yet whenever he steeled himself to watch her come to grief, he would always feel pity and couldn't bear to see her weep in despair. Through their countless arguments and sulks, he slowly fell in love with the girl who was his younger sister in name.
Lou Sijing could not accept his feelings, just as he had never been able to face the truth of his own birth. When news arrived revealing the truth behind their father's death, he left Lou Xiangyi behind and went to war without looking back. He won battle after battle, uncovered the truth about his origins, and came to understand his own heart. Guilt and heartache engulfed him like the sea.
It turned out that both he and she were impostors, but the love between them was utterly sincere.
Five years later, Lou Sijing returned home in glory and inherited his father's title of General of Weiyuan. Yet amid the jubilant crowds, he could not find the one figure he longed to see. So, late that night, Lou Sijing barged into her bedchamber, still cloaked in the chill of the night, and demanded, "I want to marry you. Are you going to marry me or not?"
