Escort work is a deadly trade. Xiao Keyu was used to waiting at the door every year for her father to return, but when she was thirteen, she saw not only her father, but also a girl his own age whom he was holding by the hand: Xiao Heng.
Only then did she learn that Xiao Heng was the real young lady of the Xiao family, the heir to the greatest escort agency in the land. She was nothing but a fake heiress who had taken another girl's place for thirteen years, and a sickly girl besides.
To cure the pitiful body of this impostor, her father wiped out the entire Medicine King Valley, gouged out the eyes of the aloof, saintly Buddhist monk, and broke a peerless prodigy until he became a blood slave. He even kept more than a hundred infants in captivity, hoping to change fate and extend her life...
In the end, her father was beheaded, too. Someone slit her throat with a single stroke, and this wicked father and daughter finally reaped what they had sown. It was a satisfying end.
With blood blurring her vision, as she lay dying, she saw her nominal fiancé and her sworn senior brother carefully shielding Xiao Heng behind them, refusing to let the people seeking revenge lay a finger on her.
Ever since her father brought Xiao Heng home when she was thirteen, she had spent half her life competing with her. She wanted to prove to everyone that the fake was no worse than the real thing, but one by one, she lost the senior brother who had protected her most, the fiancé who had cherished her most, and finally her father.
Given another life, she wanted to get healthy. She wanted her father to become a good person. And she never wanted to compete with Xiao Heng again.
All she wanted was her father. The other men could all get lost!
But the more she tried to avoid certain people, the more they came after her. She put on a show of getting along with Xiao Heng, all the while nursing her complicated feelings. When she finally let go of her resentment and started saying, “You're such a good big sister,” and “Come here, big sis, let's cuddle,” she discovered her sister's secret.
Her sister was...
A man.
Xiao Heng: Keyu, weren't you the one who wanted to cuddle?
Xiao Keyu: Go away! Get far away! Give my big sister back to me, boohoo!
Xiao Heng carefully held out his arms: You don't have a big sister, but would a big brother do?

Note: The senior brother and fiancé have one-sided feelings for the female lead.
