The long-form version of the Nighttime Rose series. Set in an alternate world, happy ending, both leads are virgins.
The same-titled novella will be updated first in the author’s collection!
Young, powerful duke x (supposed) illegitimate younger sister.
Cold and arrogant siscon with impeccable gentlemanly conduct x scheming, coy man-eating flower.
Young Duke Augusta is a celebrated war hero, powerful and influential, an idol to many young men in the city and the dream lover of countless noblewomen.
Only he knows how deeply sinful he is.
At some point, he developed unspeakably wicked feelings for his beautiful mixed-blood illegitimate younger sister.
“She was born a venomous snake parasitizing a great tree, with gleaming, pearl-like fangs and ambitious eyes, watching the estate’s one plump, sweet apple with hungry attention.”
“But this was exactly what he had hoped for from her.”
Bone of my bone, blood of my blood.
Note: The female lead’s mother was forcibly taken as a mistress by the male lead’s father. Because of this, many people at first, including the leads themselves, mistakenly believe they are half-siblings through their father. In fact, they are unrelated by blood. This will be explained in detail later in the story, and they will not be together while they believe they are related. The female lead’s mother was never formally recognized, so the leads are not listed in the same household register.
In this setting, noble couples generally each have lovers. The male lead’s parents were married purely for political reasons, and the male lead’s mother also has an illegitimate child.
Theme: No matter your circumstances, always turn toward the sun and keep growing.
