[Fake siblings + reborn and awakened + deliberate seduction + fleeing while pregnant + groveling for his wife]
(Reborn scheming fake legitimate daughter X abstinent, cold-hearted legitimate elder brother and powerful official)
Only after Shen Ning died horribly did she learn she was merely a target in the transmigrated heroine’s killing mission.
In her previous life, the man she loved returned victorious, with the Prime Minister’s true-born daughter at his side. Yet he used all his military accomplishments to beg for an imperial decree granting him marriage to Chen Ruoshu.
Reborn, she refuses to repeat the same mistakes. She sets her sights on the one anomaly in the whole story who escaped the Heavenly Dao’s control: her aloof legitimate elder brother, Shen Yan.
With tears in her eyes, she knocks on his door and deliberately tempts him at every turn.
She derails the transmigrated heroine’s entire script, and even the imperial decree granting a marriage unexpectedly comes down in her favor.
Unable to resist the Heavenly Dao’s corrections, Shen Ning fakes her death and escapes.
Shen Yan goes mad and tears the Heavenly Dao apart.
When they meet again, he pins her against the wall, his voice hoarse:
“When you seduced me, did you know I’d already figured out you weren’t my sister?”
She thought of him only as a shield to keep her alive. She had long since become his life.
