Falling Into His Hands

[The untouchable falls from his pedestal]

Ever since Wei Ci learned that she was not the daughter of the Duke's household, she had been cautious in everything, afraid of displeasing her elder brother, who had always treated her strictly.

She was switched at birth on the day the Duchess gave birth. An investigation confirmed that her birth parents had long since died, leaving her with no choice but to temporarily live under someone else's roof. Even her previous betrothal had fallen through.

One day, someone set her up, and she and her elder brother had a scandalous night together.

When she woke, Wei Ci saw Wei Tingzhou calmly and elegantly putting on his robe. The trace of desire in his eyes was so well concealed it was barely perceptible.

"Good morning, Third Sister."

Wei Ci was terrified. Ever since that day, she kept having bizarre, disjointed dreams. In them, her elder brother kept her imprisoned, and even in death she could not escape the confines of that small world.

After much deliberation, Wei Ci chose to flee the capital. After several twists and turns, she finally settled in Qingzhou, a thousand li away, where she lived freely under an assumed name.

Only a year later, she heard that a coup had taken place at court and that Wei Tingzhou had risen to power through his role in bringing the new ruler to the throne.

Wei Ci was anxious, but she knew she was safe now. She met an honest widower who taught at a school, and the two got along wonderfully. They planned to spend the rest of their lives together.

But on the day of her wedding, a troop of cavalry surrounded the courtyard. Wei Ci saw the man seated atop a mighty steed, looking down from on high:

He was charming and refined, with an elegant air.

Wei Tingzhou dismounted, personally pressed Wei Ci's groom's head beneath his foot, and said to her with a slow smile, "Third Sister, who gave you permission to marry without your brother's approval? Hmm? You've been hiding for so long. Your brother had quite a time finding you."

He was acclaimed as a noble gentleman, like bamboo and orchid, and had been praised by all since he was young. But no one knew that ever since he learned Wei Ci was not his biological sister, the thought he had buried in his heart had long since become impure...
