[Gentle, Healing Older Sister x Unhinged, Obsessive Younger Brother]
When Qi Huaizhen was five, her father brought a boy back from the frontier. The boy was half a head shorter than her, thin and frail, covered in scars, with eyes fiercer than a lone wolf cub on the grasslands.
Her father said, "Zhenzhen, this is Yan Lin. From now on, he'll be your younger brother."
Qi Huaizhen obediently took on the responsibility of being an older sister, wholeheartedly caring for the boy as her younger brother.
By the time she came of age, Yan Lin had become the most celebrated young master in the capital, the heir to the Duke of Wei's title, as gentle and refined as jade. To preserve the family's honor, this heir, taken in along the way, had to go to the battlefield in his father's stead.
After learning of his great victory at the frontier, Qi Huaizhen happily put on her wedding clothes and climbed into the bridal sedan.

Yan Lin had endured countless hardships from childhood. His nature was cruel and ruthless. He had concealed his identity and entered the Duke of Wei's household to bide his time, waiting for his roots to take hold so he could seize power and turn the world upside down.
But then a ray of sunlight suddenly fell into his dark, sunless life, and the heart twisted by hatred gradually filled with a figure he called Older Sister.
He suppressed his nature and carefully pretended to be the gentle, refined young man she admired. But just as he was planning to reclaim his identity and ask for her hand, Qi Huaizhen happily married someone else while he was still at the frontier.
When Yan Lin returned to the capital, the promising young heir to the Duke of Wei's title had suddenly become the Crown Prince's heir.
At the same time, Qi Huaizhen, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Wei's household and a newlywed, vanished without a trace, throwing the entire capital into an uproar.
By day, he was a high-born and untouchable heir to the throne.
By night, he entered a dark underground chamber, his voice hoarse and his eyes bloodshot, and knelt against the woman's knees, begging her again and again:
"Older Sister, look at me again."
Note:
1. Dramatic twists and a domineering abduction romance.
2. They are not blood-related, and their age difference is half a year. I mainly love seeing an unhinged puppy call her Older Sister.
3. The title and blurb are provisional.
