A young master returning from overseas x a traditional, authoritarian family patriarch
An alternate-history Republican-era setting
Second Young Master Meng had spent many carefree years studying abroad, but was called back home when his father fell gravely ill.
At his father's bedside, he learned that he wasn't his biological son.
The young master had turned out to be a fake phoenix. Meng Jingping was devastated.
He knew he had a poor relationship with the current head of the Meng family, his half-brother Meng Xuechen.
Meng Xuechen was rigid and stern, and treated him with utter coldness.
Once their father died, this fake young master was sure to be thrown out and left to fend for himself.
Meng Jingping made plans for both possibilities.
He would try to win Meng Xuechen over while also finding himself another long-term meal ticket.
He was exceptionally handsome, and only had to crook a finger to find a good match.
His new prospect came from a wealthy family and worshipped him like a god.
But he kept hitting a wall with Meng Xuechen.
Even when he accidentally brushed Meng Xuechen's fingers while serving him tea, his brother would sweep away from him.
It seemed his brother considered him a threat to be purged at all costs.
Feeling stifled under his brother's control, Meng Jingping climbed over the courtyard wall one night to elope with his new sweetheart.
Freedom was right before his eyes, and Meng Jingping was beaming with joy when suddenly everything went black.
When he opened his eyes again, he was back at the Meng residence.
The room was lit by tall red wedding candles, and he had been dressed in a bright red wedding outfit.
His always upright, self-possessed, unattainable elder brother held a wedding scale and lifted the bridal veil from his head.
"Before Father died, he repeatedly urged us to live in harmony and continue the Meng family line. You are the younger brother he left to me, so naturally, you belong to me. So, Jingping..."
Meng Xuechen gently stroked his cheek, his tone calm.
But his gaze burned with a frightening intensity.
"Bear me a child."
