Wei Ying, the legitimate daughter of the Wei clan, was born into a family of immense wealth and prestige. With beauty capable of toppling kingdoms, she had already earned the reputation of "Jiangnan's Most Beautiful Young Lady" by the time she came of age.

The only problem was that she was a fake: A Ying, a performer from a troupe who had taken her place for six years.

And her elder brother, Wei Heng, was a peerless beauty and a renowned scholar of Jiangzuo. He seemed to have begun suspecting her.

But an elder brother was like a father, and A Ying's marriage and future were entirely in his hands.

All A Ying could do was carefully conceal her identity while continuing to curry favor with him.

When he wrote, she ground his ink. When he went to banquets, she prepared hangover soup and waited by candlelight until late at night. When he was ill, she stayed up all night copying scriptures and praying for his recovery...

Then he accidentally took a potent drug and was on the brink of death. With everything about to fall apart, she had no choice but to disguise herself as a farm girl, slip into the dark carriage, and personally help him purge the poison.

After that wild night, A Ying pretended nothing had happened.

With her elder brother as her backing, her ambitions grew, and she set her sights on the crown prince.

On the night of her wedding, the emperor died, the crown prince was executed for treason, and the new bride disappeared without a trace.

The court and the common people all said that the Wei daughter was ill-fated. She had been crown princess for only half a day before the Eastern Palace was drenched in blood. She, too, vanished in the chaos, her fate unknown.

No one knew that on that night, she had been locked to the wedding bed in the Eastern Palace, the golden chains ringing all night long.

Her aloof, self-controlled elder brother shed his old disguise, brushed the damp hair from her forehead, and sighed in her ear. "I told you long ago that I'd give you anything you wanted. Why are you always so disobedient?"

That day, Wei Heng drank the medicinal wine that would be fatal to him and waited quietly in the dark carriage.

He thought that if his younger sister brought someone else, he would die with her.

Fortunately, it was his sister who came. So he couldn't be blamed.

Set in an alternate Northern and Southern Dynasties period

The male lead is a madman, a male ghost, and a man obsessed with men. He has no normal human decency. Readers with a strong sense of morality, beware!!!

The heroine is scheming and calculating. Neither of them is a good person. They pursue each other in their own way.

Their feelings develop only after they discover each other's identities.

*** Both siblings have known from the start that they are not blood-related. The male lead suspected her origins the first time he met her. Only after investigating and confirming the truth did he develop romantic feelings for her. They are fake siblings, fake!

Coming soon: My Divorced Younger Sister Is Back (another flavor of fake siblings)

In her previous life, Li Xiuying lost both parents at the age of twelve. Her stepbrother and her future in-laws came to take her in on the same day, and she chose the in-laws.

At fifteen, she married her childhood sweetheart. At sixteen, she died in childbirth along with her baby. Only after becoming a ghost did she learn that her difficult labor hadn't been fate: Her husband had passed the imperial examinations and caught the eye of a powerful person, so her mother-in-law wanted her to give up her place as the principal wife.

Ten years later, her childhood sweetheart used his wife's family's influence to rise rapidly through the ranks and become a senior minister. Her stepbrother became a ruthless official who fabricated charges and engineered miscarriages of justice. Her childhood sweetheart's family was implicated, stripped of their property, and exterminated. Her stepbrother, too, was soon brought down and sentenced to death by a thousand cuts.

Reborn, Xiuying returned to the eve of her conception.

In this life, she had only two wishes: First, to leave her husband's family alive. Second, to stop her brother from becoming a treacherous rebel.

She asked for a divorce and returned to her childhood home, doing everything she could each day to help her brother pass the imperial examinations and follow the right path.

In less than three years, her stepbrother placed first in the imperial examinations and entered the Hanlin Academy. When a chancellor's daughter sought to pick a husband from among the successful candidates, Xiuying knew it was time to step aside. Staying by her brother's side would only become a burden to him.

She packed her bags and said goodbye to her brother. "I wish you a bright future, Brother. I'm going back to my hometown to get married, too."

Her brother agreed and escorted her all the way home. Beneath an old tree, he dug up a jar of wine and said he wanted to drink with her before they parted.

Only after the rich wine slid down her throat did she realize it was the daughter's wine her brother had buried when she was born.

Her brother drank cup after cup in silence, until the entire jar was empty.

"If you're going back to your hometown to marry, then marry me."

As the blades repeatedly sliced through his flesh, he thought of his younger sister, lying in a pool of blood with her eyes wide open and tears still wet at the corners of her eyes.

She must have been in so much pain, he thought. If there is another life, I'll protect her with my life.

He never dreamed that in their next life, he would develop such forbidden thoughts about his sister.
