Sharing Dreams with My Aloof Cousin

| The aloof, chaste beauty on the heights x the polite, well-behaved young lady

| They aren't close, yet they share each other's dreams

Cui Jimeng was the fiancee of her second cousin, and was not close to her elder cousin, who often stayed in the Buddhist shrine and was cold and distant.

But after she fell into the water, she began dreaming of him often.

The dignified young gentleman, so controlled and proper, was possessive in her dreams. “You liked it just as much when my second brother did that?”

Sometimes he was very patient, too. When she wept and pleaded, “You can't. I won't...” he coaxed her gently. “Be good. I'll teach you.”

If she couldn't do it, he would say, “It's all right. Again.”

But when they met in reality, Xie Lingzhou was still restrained and proper, untouched by worldly concerns, completely unlike the person in her dreams.

The more outrageous the dreams became, the stronger Cui Jimeng's guilt grew.

Until one day, she was ordered to deliver white-jade cherry pastries to the Buddhist shrine. Xie Lingzhou looked at the pastries with a probing gaze. Cui Jimeng instinctively stepped back.

Xie Lingzhou looked up, his gaze deep and fixed on her until her legs went weak. Then he said calmly, “No thanks. I had enough in last night's dream.”

Only then did Cui Jimeng learn that she and her cousin shared their dreams.

Xie Lingzhou was the eldest son of the Xie clan of Chen Commandery. Raised from childhood to restrain his desires, he was aloof and cold as snow, indifferent by nature.

The day his second brother's fiancee first arrived at the Xie residence, she accidentally fell into the water. He happened to pass by and rescued her. Unwilling to have any further entanglement with her, he told her maidservant that he was the second young master of the Xie family.

After that, however, he often dreamed of her. In his dreams, she was obedient and let him do as he pleased. Even when he bullied her until she cried, she didn't make a sound.

The strange thing was that every time he woke and saw his cousin, she would greet him with greater deference than before, lowering her head a little more each time.

She was afraid of him. But the more afraid she was, the more he wanted to bully her.

But she was his future sister-in-law, and he shouldn't act this way. After repeatedly failing to restrain himself, Xie Lingzhou accidentally discovered that he and his cousin shared their dreams.

“Cousin, do you think things between us can still remain completely innocent?”

“Or do you plan to share a bed with my second brother after you marry him, while still having the same dreams with me?”

Reader's guide

1. Both leads have only been with each other, and it has a happy ending. They are not blood-related cousins.

2. Sharing dreams means that their dream worlds are connected. They share them! They share them!! They share them!!! The content of the dreams changes in real time according to their states of mind and subconscious, and they can control the dreams with their subconscious. These are not precognitive dreams experienced by the heroine alone; the underlying logic is different.

3. The male lead is chaste and restrained, raised under strict discipline; the heroine is conservative and easily embarrassed. The closer they are in their dreams, the more distant they act in public. Warning: melodrama.

4. The heroine is a lonely orphan living under someone else's roof, rather delicate. Friends who don't like delicate, innocent heroines, run away as fast as you can (emphasis added). There are quite a few descriptions of her appearance. The male lead is a little scheming, but repeatedly struggles with himself.

5. Standard notes:

This is a fictional setting with many original details, and the plot is quite simplistic.

The first version was written on January 1, 2023, and has been screenshotted and saved. Later edits will only make minor wording adjustments.

Please don't ignore the story's logic and style, and make random judgments based only on the title and the cousins' relationship. The core premise of this book is that the cousins share dreams. It is fundamentally different from one person simply dreaming about the other (helpless.jpg).

You can question it, but please provide solid evidence or a comparison chart. And don't plagiarize it piece by piece, either (stare.jpg).

The authorized version is available only on Jinjiang Literature City. Reading pirated copies violates the author's rights and wounds their moral integrity.
