When Su Shiwei was sixteen, her father, who was well past fifty, was exposed for an affair from over a decade earlier. He even brought home a daughter born to his mistress, a girl only a year younger than Su Shiwei.
Su Shiwei sat by her mother's memorial tablet all night. She couldn't let this illegitimate daughter waltz into the house and act so brazenly. She had to go and see her for herself.
On a warm spring day, when they first met, the girl wore a striking red dress and sat by the pond, her eyes lowered as she fed the fish.
Her slender fingers had clearly defined knuckles. Even just her profile was dazzling.
The beauty held a wooden bowl filled with fish food.
Su Shiwei stepped forward, hooked a finger around the bowl, and gently pushed it.
The bowl fell into the pond. The fish scattered in fright, then gathered again when they caught the scent of food.
The beauty looked up at her, her face expressionless and her manner cold and proud.
Su Shiwei wiped her fingertips with a handkerchief and looked down at her. "By rights, you should call me Elder Sister."
The beauty gave her a leisurely glance, then stood up.
The beauty was half a head taller than Su Shiwei, and her eyes were gloomy. Su Shiwei secretly swallowed.

When Su Shiwei was young, a girl born to her father's mistress once came to live in their home. Su Shiwei picked on her at every turn, but was repeatedly thwarted.
Later, Su Shiwei saw through a crack in the door as her father bowed down before the girl.
The girl suddenly looked up. Her gaze pierced through the crack, sinister and terrifying. Su Shiwei fled in fright and sprained her ankle, taking half a month to recover.
Not long after, word came that the girl had fallen gravely ill and had been moved to an estate outside the city to recuperate. Before long, she died.

Word had it that the newly appointed Crown Prince was Prince Li, who had long been out of favor. His birth mother had died early, and he had been banished to a bitterly cold region. Only now, when the emperor fell ill, had he rushed back from a thousand miles away to attend to him.
Moved by his filial devotion, the emperor deposed the Crown Prince and made Prince Li the heir.
It was certainly because of his filial devotion, and not because of the three thousand cavalrymen stationed outside the gates of Jinling.
They say the new Crown Prince has a violent temper and is very difficult to approach.
Su Shiwei's father was only a fifth-rank official, yet he was invited to a banquet at the Crown Prince's residence.
Su Shiwei went with him. Seated at the very end of the banquet hall, she couldn't make out the Crown Prince's face. She only saw who was seated above when her father pulled her to her feet and presented the embroidery she had made as a congratulatory gift.
The person wore a Crown Prince's robe embroidered with a python and held a cup in one hand. Silently, he mouthed to her, "Elder Sister?"
