#Brooding, controlling, sister-obsessed older brother x stubborn, resilient, irresistible beauty
#Six-year age gap + both reborn
When you were three, you cried nonstop because you were sick, so your older brother took two days off from school to stay home with you.
When you were six, you had a huge fight with your cousin, and your biased older brother got punished along with you.
When you were ten, a matchmaker came to propose a marriage for your brother. You stormed off, saying you would never make up with him again and that he could pretend he didn't have a sister named Shen Youning.
When you were fourteen, you went boating with a friend and said your brother was the best person in the world, and that you would definitely marry a man like him someday.
When you were seventeen, your wish came true: you married the new imperial examination's third-place scholar. But from then on, you were trapped in a grand residence. Household troubles and unfathomable misunderstandings stood between you, and you could hardly see your brother again.
At twenty, as Shen Youning lay dying, she finally understood. The marriage she thought they had both wanted was nothing more than the result of her brother using his power to force the match. The only person who had truly cherished her from beginning to end was her older brother, Shen Yunzheng...
If only she could have another chance...
Shen Yunzheng had known from the very beginning that his younger sister wasn't his biological sister.
He would give her anything she wanted: the kitten he secretly kept in a side room without his parents' knowledge, rare books from the four libraries and seven collections, hairpins even the palace consorts had never seen...
Including that blind third-place scholar.
He paid a visit late at night through pouring rain. His chest held both secret letters and gold and silver. In the midst of a raging storm, a crash of thunder shook the lamp cover to the floor, and the third-place scholar promised amid the flames that he would formally ask the Shen family for her hand, with all the proper betrothal gifts and rituals.
But after only three years of happy marriage, his sister fell gravely ill. He used ruthless methods to have the scholar imprisoned and forced him to take his own life. With blood staining his neck, he went to bring his sister home, only to find the courtyard filled with white mourning banners.
When he opened his eyes again, everything had begun anew.
Holding a lantern, he stood in the courtyard gate and found his sister about to sneak out for a secret meeting with the third-place scholar. He smiled and asked, "Little sister, where are you going?"
But his sister, unlike before, took a step back.
He gripped the lantern pole until it creaked, though his smile never faded.
Oh? Had his sister, like him, been given another chance? Then this time...
Choose your brother.
"Didn't you say you loved your brother most and wanted to marry him?"
"Let's never be apart for the rest of our lives. In life, we'll share a bed; in death, we'll share a tomb. What do you say, little sister?"
"Little sister... You're all your brother has. Could you look at your brother, just this once?"
