"I will inherit everything from my brother, including you, my dear... Sister-in-law."
In 2125, supernatural incidents increased dramatically, the city fell, and humanity was on the verge of extinction. At the time of survival, a few human beings awakened their superpowers, turned the tide, and established twelve safe zones and cities. The laws of the world are re-enacted.
The Supernatural and Paranormal Events Research Bureau has since been founded and supervised by eight aristocratic families.
In 2126, the neon lights of the Star Chronicles pierced the haze of the apocalypse.
Kui Shu's fingertips traced her lover Xi Chen's chin, and the arc at the end of the man's eyes was reassuringly familiar - he was the leader of the Xi family, the head of the eight aristocratic families, her childhood sweetheart, and the absolute ruler of this safe zone.
In the Government Affairs Office of the Star Ji Territory, the real Xi Chen was staring at the superpower report in front of him, his hands with white joints clutching the pen tightly. The fingertips ran over the word "Kui Shu" on the paper, and the pain and ecstasy rushed along the sympathetic nerves - that was the touch that belonged to my younger brother Xi Yu, embracing his "mysterious girlfriend".
Xi Chen's throat tightened. He and Xi Yu are identical twins. The powers awakened in the apocalypse allow them to share touch, pain and abilities. No one in the world can tell them apart. But he never thought that the secret his brother had hidden for a long time would be kissing his lover in his identity.
The incident happened unexpectedly.
After an assassination targeting the Xi family, the body of "Xi Yu" was publicly claimed, and the domain leader of the Star Ji Domain was still "Xi Chen". Only Xi Yu himself knew that he had become his brother's shadow from then on, and continued to be her lover in the eyes of the world.
Until, he went to her to discuss the wedding night.
Kui Shu slapped him hard on the face, and her voice was icy: "Xi Yu, what's the difference between you touching me in front of your brother and coveting my sister-in-law?"
He allowed her to beat and scold him, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. He waited until her strength was exhausted before speaking in a low voice: "The Kui family can no longer survive, and only the marriage between Xi and Kui can save them." He paused, his Adam's apple rolling, "When you can stand on your own and no longer need the Xi family, I can agree to divorce."
"You want to marry me?" She smiled with red eyes.
"My grievance is that I will divorce you!" He suddenly retorted urgently, his eyes filled with pain and grievance that had been suppressed for many years, "Kui Shu, I like you. Before Xi Chen liked you, I had already liked you for three years. Obviously, it was you who told me that you liked me first. Obviously, it was you. You told me you wanted to marry me first! Did you forget that you suddenly became his girlfriend and now you want me to call you sister-in-law? But before you fell in love with me, you always called me Bianban... Why? "
These words woke her up like a thunderbolt.
That night, Kui Shu returned to the age of seventeen in her dream, and the young Xi Yu squatted under the cherry blossom tree, eating the candy she handed to his mouth with the tips of his ears red.
She stood on tiptoe and said in his ear: "Xi Yu, I like you."
The dream was as real as a memory of what had happened in reality, but this past never existed in her memory.
The gears of covenant marriage began to turn.
The same bed, the same hug, but in her dreams late at night, she repeatedly saw the tears of young Xi Yu and heard him asking "Why did you lose me?"
What frightened her even more was that the old candy wrappers unearthed from the study drawer, the blurred writing in the diary, and even the energy traces left when the superpower awakened, all quietly proved that those "dreams" might be the erased truth.
Under the glass lamp, Xi Yu wiped the medicine stains from the corners of her mouth. The temperature of her fingertips came through the sympathetic nerve, which actually overlapped with the touch of the boy in the dream.
Kui Shu suddenly held his hand: "What did you feel on the day Xi Chen died?"
Xi Yu's fingertips trembled, and the disguise in his eyes shattered inch by inch.
It turns out that empathy is never one-way. The tenderness she thought was "Xi Chen" and those forgotten heartbeats in those years have long been engraved with another person's name in the nerve endings.
And Xi Chen's death may hide a more terrifying secret than identity replacement...
Tips for this article:
1. This article is an imaginary post-apocalyptic urban novel. All world laws, hierarchies, and abilities and professions of the characters in the book are fictitious and cannot be substituted into reality~
2. Due to setting issues in this article, the female protagonist has talked with the male protagonist and second male protagonist at different times, and they all have normal relationships, closeness and love between lovers. (I didn't get intimate with them at the same time!)
3. It seems to be considered immoral literature: the immoral literature of brother-in-law Xi Yu and sister-in-law Kuisu? The eldest brother Xi Chen vs the younger sister-in-law Kui Shu?
(In short, the plot happened without the heroine's knowledge. The heroine only found out after the plot. It's hard to be too detailed about setting up the relationship, for fear of affecting the perception, so be careful if you mind!)
4. Xi Chen and Xi Yu are identical twins with identical looks and voices. They are blood brothers. When the apocalypse comes and their powers are awakened, the two brothers can feel each other's touch, pain, and emotions, and can directly possess each other's awakened powers.
(Special conditions apply to the use of set points).
For those who are concerned about the above, proceed with caution. I wish all readers a happy reading~
Intention: Heaven and earth coexist with me, and all things are one with me
