The heaven-blessed prodigy, born with an S-rank physique, x the sickly, understanding illegitimate princess
[Possessive, coercive love]
Di Tang, the esteemed Princess Changle of the Zhu Dynasty, died at the age of twenty-two.
The court historian even laughed as he wrote about her.
She never married, staying in the imperial palace until she was an old maid. She endured endless criticism and died of sorrow.
Reborn in her youth, Di Tang decides to distance herself from her elder brother, the crown prince. It's better if they're not so close. That way, unlike in her previous life, he won't keep her from marrying and leaving the palace.
Unexpectedly, she discovers that she's a fake princess. She's the "cat" in the story of the cat being switched for the crown prince.
Keeping this secret close and trembling with fear, Di Tang wants only to marry out of the palace as soon as possible, before her true identity is exposed.
She makes every arrangement and secures herself a husband from a distinguished military family. It's exactly what she wants.
The day before her wedding, Qixia Palace catches fire.
The Princess Changle dies in the blaze.
When Di Tang wakes again, she's in the crown prince's private residence, lying on her brother's canopied bed, tossed about in the throes of passion.
"Brother, this is far... far too outrageous..."
Note: The leads are not related by blood, and nothing happens between them while they are still in a brother-sister relationship.
