Soft as Jade, Delicate as Flowers

I have always been jealous of Cui Yingzhi, another noblewoman from the royal capital. Even though we grew up as close friends, I still resented her.

Compared to her fair skin, flower-like beauty, ethereal elegance, and poetic wit, I was rather ordinary.

Many people secretly mocked me, saying I only stuck by her, hoping to marry up with her brother someday.

Actually, I wasn't interested in her brother. I simply wanted to follow her, even as I resented her.

I thought she'd eventually see through my ugly motives. But one drunken night of passion revealed her true identity to me.

It turned out Cui Yingzhi wasn't a woman at all, but a man!

My thoughts in a tangle, I shut myself away and refused to see anyone.

I had no intention of exposing his secret, but Cui Yingzhi kept clinging to me, and even planted a kiss on my lips.

"We've been intimate, and you've even called me older sister, yet now you want to avoid me. Did you really think of me as your sister?"

Me: "..."
