Synopsis:
She thought she was the one raising a blade, unaware she had long been its prisoner.
On a snowy night at a desolate grave mound, Pei Qingyan finds a dying child and names her Pei Qingyuan. She teaches her political strategy and schemes, keeps her at her side, and whispers to her every day, "You belong only to me." Pei Qingyan thinks she is raising the sharpest blade, never realizing that all that tenderness and intimacy has long been a snare woven by her younger sister.
She thought she was the one in control, unaware she had long been caught in her younger sister's trap.
When her family falls and an arranged marriage binds her, Pei Qingyan decides to cut off their forbidden bond. But Pei Qingyuan looks up with a smile, her eyes filled with obsession and madness. "Elder sister, you taught me this: a true hunter always appears as the prey."
She deliberately left forbidden books for her to find and draw her into the trap. She secretly leaked classified information to stir up trouble. And more than anyone else, she fanned the flames, turning everyone into pawns to trap her elder sister.
She never wanted power over the world, nor the glory of the Pei family. From beginning to end, she wanted only one person: her haughty elder sister, who thought she controlled everything, but in the end willingly lost to her.
"Elder sister, you've lost this game of the chaotic world."
"But the one you've lost is me."
Theme: In an age when fast-food fiction is all the rage, I only want to write an immersive, slow-paced story. Read with caution if you have a weak heart. This isn't a sweet, feel-good story, and please don't curse me when you're done.
If I can't survive, I'm actually BE 😭
