[Fake siblings + Court intrigue + Soul transmigration] Also known as: My Brother Loves Me More Than Life
Princess Di Lan is the imperial daughter of the Eastern Pole Dynasty. Fierce and cruel, her eyes shine like the sun, so bright that even the splendor of daylight cannot outshine them. Blood mist has long hung over the white jade steps of the Luan Palace, and rumors say countless souls have fallen to the snow-white blade hidden in her sleeve. The people love her and fear her, and they know that the only person in the world who could restrain her has long since been buried beneath the snowy plains. From then on, blood-red thorns bloomed amid the most blazing light.
But she is not truly an imperial daughter.
The Crown Prince, Cong Yun, is Di Lan's elder brother, and they are twins born together. From the day she was born until she came of age, he raised his imperial sister into the most radiant of women. He styled her hair, painted her nails, and colored her lips with rouge. Then nine hundred years of curses, love, and hatred descended upon him. The Crown Prince marched north, and amid the snow of the wilderness, the princess lost the protection that had sheltered her all her life. From then on, she fell into a life of slaughter.
She killed his sworn enemy and executed treacherous ministers for him, becoming the most wicked princess in the dynasty overnight. When the treacherous Luan Palace went up in flames one night, the subordinate she trusted most stabbed her through the chest, leaving her on the brink of death. Di Lan's half-lamp of soul-fire crossed from north to south, following the path of the celestial chart, and settled in Chu Yize, daughter of the former Imperial Preceptor. The foolish young lady awoke with a clear mind. In the Chu residence in the southern lands, the heir Heng Ye had left home to become a monk years earlier. Recently, he had come down from the mountain and returned to secular life, a scar from a beast's bite marking his neck. He stood in the corridor while she stood in the warm sunlight. After the snow came spring, and the ice melted into streams.
