1.
At a lavish birthday banquet, Jiang Yanyu finally met Wen Jixue, the real daughter who had returned to the Jiang family after Jiang Yanyu had taken her place.
The family patriarch couldn't bear to give up the adopted daughter he had carefully raised, but he also wanted his real daughter to reclaim her place in the family.
The real and fake heiresses lived under one roof, with undercurrents churning beneath a harmonious surface.
Who would inherit the family business? And whom would the aristocratic Zhou family choose as a marriage alliance?
Everyone was waiting for a grand spectacle.
No one knew that on her very first night home, Wen Jixue knocked on Jiang Yanyu's door and climbed into her bed.
"Let's play a game."
Jiang Yanyu asked with interest, "What kind of game?"
The girl who was gentle and obedient by day twirled the tie of Jiang Yanyu's pajamas around her finger, a playful smile curving her lips. "A game where we're enemies by day and lovers by night."

Everyone knew Wen Jixue and Jiang Yanyu were at odds.
Jiang Yanyu hated wearing matching outfits, but Wen Jixue not only matched her, she even wore her clothes and asked in a coy voice right in front of her, "Do the clothes look better, or do I?"
Whenever Jiang Yanyu worked, Wen Jixue would come to "supervise." Even through the office door late at night, you could hear her cries interspersed with reminders: "Yanyan! A gentleman uses his words, not his hands!"
Whenever Jiang Yanyu got close to anyone, Wen Jixue would butt in, then whisper in her ear with a sugary, affected voice: "If you're lonely, I can keep you company."
Only Jiang Yanyu knew that all of it was Wen Jixue's possessiveness at work.

Outside the room, people were discussing a marriage alliance with the Zhou family. They had the housekeeper knock on the door and ask if Jiang Yanyu was there.
Inside, Wen Jixue straddled her lap and covered her mouth to keep her quiet. Her soft lips brushed Jiang Yanyu's ear. "You're mine. You can only be mine."
Jiang Yanyu pulled her hand away and smiled coldly. "I don't belong to anyone."
Wen Jixue gazed at her with tender, earnest eyes. Her fingertips slipped down her shoulder strap, letting pale skin emerge in Jiang Yanyu's sight. "Then... possess me, and make me yours."
Just one door away, people were scheming.
While inside, the two of them gave themselves over to pleasure, stifling their cries.
'On a long street hidden in the dark, she walked alone for a long, long time. When she looked back, she realized the end of the road had been behind her all along.
It was a dawn after the rain and snow had finally cleared.'
