[Sweet and sour romance, full of teasing and tension]

Shen Yan became a vice minister in his twenties, making him one of the finest men in the dynasty. Many noble young ladies have hinted at their interest, yet he has remained unmarried.

He doesn't like his new subordinate, Liu Qing. There are plenty of reasons, including one that should be completely irrelevant: this person keeps reminding him of his childhood sweetheart and former fiancée, Liu Yuqing.

But one is clearly a man and the other a woman, and they look nothing alike. They have absolutely nothing in common.

He thought it was just a moment of confusion, never realizing it was the start of all his troubles and tender longings...

[Side story] (For fun only, a montage of scenes from the main story. The identity reveal in the main story involves more complicated people and events.)

Three Judicial Offices News: Today, a prisoner at the Ministry of Justice began bleeding from the nose during questioning. The presiding interrogator, Liu Qing, fainted at the sight of blood...

At that moment, in the vice minister's office, Officer Liu lay drowsily on the bed, her head throbbing and the heat unbearable. She tugged at her clothes unconsciously, opening a gap in the collar of her inner garment.

Vice Minister Shen, who had been reading documents nearby, looked over at the sound. The thin quilt had been kicked away, and in the shadow beneath her collar, several layers of soft, sheer fabric were faintly visible.

Wouldn't wearing that around her body suffocate her? Why go to all that trouble to dress as a man?

One must not touch what is improper, nor look at what is improper... But she seemed unable to catch her breath. Could he really just stand by and do nothing?

Shen Yan hesitated for a long while, feeling heat rise from the back of his neck all the way to the top of his head.

A moment later, a sharp, resounding slap rang out in the vice minister's office.

Shen Yan emerged, his face flushed with embarrassment and anger. A red handprint was faintly visible on his cheek.

She repaid his kindness with ingratitude! There wasn't a single woman in the entire Ministry of Justice to help her. What else could he have done?

An innocent, passionate, and straightforward little sister X a patient, devoted, and possessive older brother

Shen Yuanniang died once and finally realized she was wrong.

Her elder brother was right. That man was no good. The only person who had ever truly cared for her in her previous life was her elder brother, Shen Yun, who had been her only family.

Her brother had worried himself sick over her. On top of shouldering the weight of the court's responsibilities, he had quietly prepared for her future, saved money for her, managed her business, and shielded her from her in-laws' open and hidden attacks... He never even had the chance to take a wife.

Yuanniang pouted, feeling terribly sad.

In this life, she would be the most thoughtful little sister he could ever ask for. She would not rest until she found him a good wife!

*

Fourteen-year-old Yuanniang wore her hair in a simple maid's knot and stood barefoot, staring wide-eyed at her elder brother.

Her elder brother, Shen Yun, was handsome and distinguished, the most remarkable man in Jiangnan. Surely he was the perfect match in any young lady's eyes!

Without looking at her, Shen Yun set the basin by her feet and tapped her lightly on the forehead. "Lazy kitten, what are you thinking about?"

Yuanniang murmured, "Oh," and dipped her slender, pale feet into the basin. But her brother had already turned away.

"Ow, that's so hot!" She lifted her wet feet out of the water, her toes pink as half-ripe grapes. "Brother, add some cold water."

Shen Yun glanced back, then seemed to shudder and immediately turned away. His neck flushed for some reason. "Why add cold water? Just wait for it to cool."

She protested, stretching her toes toward him. "There's cold water on the table. Brother, pour some in for me!"

Her brother's face reddened with anger. "...Shen Yuanniang!" Then he flung his sleeve and walked out.

Her brother was so strange, Yuanniang thought, pouting.

Sigh, finding him a wife just got even harder! She was exasperated with him.

*

(Age fifteen)

In this life, Yuanniang had turned over a new leaf. She vowed to shine brightly and light the way for everyone.

She studied business seriously, determined to turn things around, while eagerly searching for a future sister-in-law for her elder brother.

One day, she finally collapsed at her desk from exhaustion.

Shen Yun had just returned from out of town. He carried her on his back, and she sleepily nuzzled against a cool spot.

"Brother..." She rubbed her cheek against his neck.

Shen Yun's heart skipped a beat. He quickly stopped and silently recited a calming mantra several times.

"Zhenzhen, stop worrying about your brother's affairs. What if I never marry and stay with you forever?"

Yuanniang rubbed her cheek against his neck again and again. "..."

Shen Yun's gaze darkened. Was she... shaking her head?

*

(Age sixteen)

Yuanniang exhausted herself trying to find a wife for her elder brother, but he was always impossibly picky. He criticized the beauty's talent and the talented woman's looks. At last, she found someone with both brains and beauty, but he complained that she was too perfect and must be difficult to get close to.

Yuanniang was so angry she couldn't sleep. In the middle of the night, she jumped up and knocked on his door, demanding to know what he wanted.

For once, he was drunk. He gazed at her with a bitter smile, looking desperate and infatuated.

"What do I want? You've lived two lifetimes, and still you don't understand... Even if I told you, would you dare to listen?"

*

One day, Yuanniang peeped through a crack in the door and saw her elder brother in a tense confrontation with the faithless man from her previous life.

"I'm warning you again: keep your filthy thoughts to yourself and stay away from Zhenzhen." Her elder brother pointed at the scoundrel.

"My thoughts are filthy?" The scoundrel burst into laughter and jabbed a finger at her brother's chest. "It's still anyone's guess which one of us is filthier!"

Note:

The leads are not blood-related, though the heroine doesn't know that at first.

The leads depend on each other and grew up together. The hero is restrained, devoted, and a pillar of the nation. The heroine is passionate, direct-minded, and heir to a merchant house.

The heroine is reborn at the beginning of the story and resolves to become the most attentive little sister she can be. She is fourteen at the time.
