Since she was five, Shen Qingxi had spent nearly thirteen years with her deceased older brother. She had parents, but it was almost as if she didn't. Fortunately, although Shen Chi was a ghost, he treated her wonderfully and took care of everything for her.
When she was nearing adulthood, her parents invited Shen Qingxi back to the ancestral home, saying they wanted to throw her a birthday party. They also hinted that they knew a way to make her brother human again.
Shen Qingxi hesitated, then agreed.
After all, with her brother by her side, she had nothing to fear.
It wasn't until she and Shen Chi entered the ancestral home that she realized something was wrong. A gigantic magic circle had appeared beneath their feet.
Shen Chi was sealed away.
It turned out he was the vicious ghost worshipped by the family. To ensure the family prospered, he had to be sealed inside the ancestral hall and never leave.
She had never had a deceased older brother.
As the one who had brought the evil ghost back to the magic circle, Shen Qingxi naturally became the family heir.
Amid a chorus of praise, she lowered her head and said nothing.
Those were the last words Shen Chi ever heard.

After Shen Qingxi tried everything she could to break Shen Chi's seal, she still couldn't find him. The clan leader arrived in a rage, nearly having a stroke as he pointed at her and cursed. Then he told her that Shen Chi's soul had long since dispersed and that there was no way he could ever return.
She coldly settled the family's affairs and left this place full of trouble.
While Shen Qingxi was in low spirits, she met a man.
He was handsome, gentle, and kind. In both his words and his manner, he was seven-tenths like Shen Chi, and she soon fell for him.
On their wedding night.
Shen Qingxi received a secret letter. It clearly stated that her current husband was her older brother from before.
As she clutched the letter and turned around, she collided with a cold embrace. She looked up to see Shen Chi gazing down at her, his eyes full of resentment.
"Didn't you say you wanted to be with your brother forever?" His long hair seemed alive as it wound around Shen Qingxi's wrists and ankles, its ends brushing her neck. "My dear little sister?"

Amid endless hatred, Shen Chi crawled out of the seal.
He would make Shen Qingxi pay for betraying him.
He changed his appearance and pretended to be an ordinary man as he approached Shen Qingxi. He was gentle and kind, and before long, the two of them had grown close.
Shen Chi was about to go mad.
He smiled as he took Shen Qingxi's hand, while twisted thoughts ran through his mind. Why was she willing to hold another man's hand now? Hadn't she promised her brother that she would only hold his hand?
But his little sister's hand was soft and smooth. He had made up his mind to do a thousand terrible things to her, yet still he gently laced his fingers with hers.
...I'll wait until tomorrow.
Tomorrow, I'll definitely kill her.
-[Please Note]
· When the little sister was a child, her brother was a child too. He grew up alongside her^^
· Ghosts don't have household registration, so the two of them aren't listed in the same household.
· This blurb is rough. The title and character names may change.
· This is probably a sweet romance with a tiny bit of tragic, tangled love ()
Theme: Keep insisting otherwise, then.
