After being reborn, Jing Shu decides that, to avoid dying at the hands of her imperial brother Yin Yanshu again, she must first win over the future tyrant. When the time is right, she can make plans to escape.
Her day after day of showing kindness is not in vain.
Yin Yanshu remembers that she likes Jiangnan pastries and often has them delivered to her palace. When someone insults her at a palace banquet, he always steps in to defend her.
Jing Shu finally breathes a sigh of relief. In a daze, she thinks that in this life, her imperial brother truly sees her as his younger sister.
Until later, in a moonlit pavilion, he smiles as he takes her by the wrist, and she realizes with horror
Her elder brother, the crown prince who always keeps his impulses in check and follows the rules, has developed such a perverse, filthy desire that violates every moral boundary!!!
Jing Shu knows her true origins. The day her identity is revealed will be the day she dies.
She refuses to sit around and wait for death, and secretly decides to run away.
She prepares everything, but overlooks one thing: how suspiciously smoothly it all goes.
On a rainy night, in a long street, he rides up on horseback and uses his spear to lift the curtain of the sedan chair she took out of the palace without permission. A smile plays on his lips, but a bone-deep chill has already taken hold. “You and I have long been in love with each other. Why are you running?”
Jing Shu can't remember what happened afterward. She only remembers the man who always appears in her nightmares, pinning her wrist down with a cold expression, kissing her hair, and speaking viciously: “Now that you've provoked me, even if you die in this lifetime, you'll die in my bed.”
That night, it rained until dawn.
The day Jing Shu's origins are revealed, the sky turns bitterly cold.
By rights, her entire family should be executed.
Everyone is terrified, waiting for the emperor to fly into a rage.
Only Yin Yanshu sits calmly in his high seat, regarding the trembling Jing Shu on her knees with casual interest. There isn't a trace of anger in his eyes. Instead, they hold the madness of a man eyeing his prey.
So she's not my sister.
All the better.
