[Forced Possession] [Cold, Unhinged Older Brother × Coldhearted, Cunning Younger Sister]
Shen Qingyu was beautiful. She followed her mother into a prestigious family by marriage: the Pei clan was powerful and influential, with strict family rules and a reputation for solemn propriety.
Everyone said that the Pei family's eldest son, Pei Yan, was upright and proper, and even looked after his stepsister. But only Shen Qingyu knew just how he looked after her...
At first, Shen Qingyu thought nothing of it.
Until his gaze quietly changed, brimming with turbulent emotions that made her feel as if thorns were prickling her back.
Shen Qingyu wanted to marry far away and leave the manor.
But that night, she awoke in the middle of the night to find her stepbrother sitting beside her bed, smiling without warmth. "Good sister, are you really that eager to marry and leave?"
Shen Qingyu retreated, but the man pressed closer with every step. "Your older brother is a man too. Don't you want to marry?"

Pei Yan had a younger sister, a girl of extraordinary beauty.
That night, as wind and rain raged, Shen Qingyu was in a pitiful state, with nowhere else to turn. In the end, she came to him for help.
Facing the one responsible for her plight, she moved her lips and forced out the words:
"I beg you, Brother, have mercy on me."
By the flickering candlelight, she clutched his hand so tightly that her nails dug into his palm.
Pei Yan built a golden cage just to keep her by his side.
But his younger sister was coldhearted and ruthless, set on leaving him. Later, she stabbed a knife into his heart and vanished without a trace for three years.
She left him alone, trapped in endless, interminable nights.
Then, three years later, Pei Yan was sent to Xunzhou to investigate corruption. A woman came before him, pleading for help to save her husband. The wind lifted her veil, and he saw the face he had longed for day and night.
The moment their eyes met, the man's lips curved slightly.
"We haven't seen each other in years. Don't you plan to take your older brother home for a visit?"
She had been coldhearted and ruthless back then, but he loved her all the same.
