Synopsis
[Arrogant, pampered junior sister x aloof, black-hearted senior brother]
[Flirts and runs x overthinks himself into falling in love]
Luan Sui was the most honored princess of Shangling Continent, born to nobility and adored by all. No one had ever dared to defy her.
Xie Guanxun was Lishan's senior disciple, beautiful as ice and jade, aloof and otherworldly. He never took anyone seriously.
When they first met as children, Luan Sui ordered him to kneel beneath her carriage so she could step on him.
Without a word, Xie Guanxun simply scooped her up in his arms.
She hated him.
*
Later, after her father and brothers vanished one after another and Shangling Continent fell into turmoil, Luan Sui was forced to join Lishan as Xie Guanxun's junior sister.
Everyone knew the two of them had never gotten along.
Until one day, Luan Sui discovered that Xie Guanxun had an extremely cold constitution.
Her spiritual meridians were unusual and hindered her cultivation. Only dual cultivation with someone born with an extremely cold constitution could suppress the backlash.
Looking at that beautiful face, cool as moonlight, an outrageous and wicked thought arose in her heart.
From then on, she teased and flirted with Xie Guanxun, watching his expression tighten and seeing him flee in embarrassment.
She made no secret of her intentions. When Xie Guanxun looked confused, she told him bluntly, "I want to practice dual cultivation with Senior Brother."
*
Xie Guanxun was so shocked that he went into seclusion for three days to calm his mind.
He imagined all sorts of explanations: His junior sister was young and ignorant. His junior sister was teasing him again. His junior sister had been reading stories she shouldn't. His junior sister had been led astray by outsiders.
...Could it be that his junior sister liked him?
Xie Guanxun immediately left seclusion, only to find Luan Sui had brought back a group of handsome men. They were drinking and chatting, dancing and playing music.
He stood beneath the corridor, the jade object in his hand cracking silently.
A princess was born knowing how to toy with people's hearts. She was spoiled and overbearing, doing whatever she pleased, yet radiant and dazzling, kind and formidable. The whole world ought to revolve around her.
He lowered his head and looked at the blood welling in his palm. At last, he admitted that Luan Sui had grown into a calamity he dared not touch.
He had held it in for so long that even he had fooled himself.
That night, Xie Guanxun lost control for the first time.
*
After getting what she wanted, Luan Sui discovered that her beautiful senior brother, as serene as a spring breeze and bright as the moon, had secretly loved her for many years.
Unfortunately, she had only wanted Xie Guanxun's talent and constitution.
To save her family, Luan Sui used him, practiced dual cultivation with him, deceived him into giving her his heart, and drained his cultivation before turning around and going home to claim the throne.
When they met again, she came to him with a wedding invitation. "Senior Brother Xie, I'm getting married."
Xie Guanxun locked her in his palace and confined her for days, crazed with longing and struggling to contain himself. "Luan Sui, you lied to me again."
Xie Guanxun pushed Luan Sui down onto the bed. Outside the palace doors stood her betrothed.
As the storm subsided, she gathered her skirts and ran.
"Xie Guanxun, I'll only marry the prince of Wuji Continent."
She had no other choice if she wanted to save her people.
*
On the day of the wedding, the phoenix carriage came to a stop.
At the end of the mortal world, a man in wedding robes knelt, willingly lifting her up.
Luan Sui lowered her eyes behind her veil and said casually, "It's just an act. You don't have to make it so convincing."
The person beneath her raised his head, revealing a face she knew better than any other.
A face that had been entangled with hers, day and night, for so long.
