Knowing her inferiority, she was always cautious and timid in front of him, but Li Fengyuan did not like her, this illegitimate child. But regardless of their relationship, in the empty general's mansion, the two siblings were each other's only support. Later, when trouble broke out in the Northwest, the seventeen-year-old Li Fengyuan donned armor and took up arms, abandoning Li Shuwan and going to the battlefield without looking back. All he left her was an empty general's mansion. Five years later, the Northwest was stabilized, and Li Fengyuan, now a marquis and general, returned to the capital. At the celebratory banquet, the siblings, separated for many years, met again, but Li Meiwan seemed not to recognize him. Their eyes met, and she frowned, whispering in the Crown Prince's ear, "Crown Prince, that person glared at me." That night, Li Fengyuan entered her boudoir, standing coldly beside the bed, and asked her in a low voice, "The Crown Prince is my brother, then what am I?"
