Lan Xi had skin like jade, a delicate beauty as lovely as a flower. Though she was a condemned woman, the tyrant chose her and kept her in a palace outside the city, visiting at midnight to spend the whole night entangled with her, blindfolding her all the while.
She even died in bed.
Reborn, Lan Xi knew she was in an erotic novel. She was the character who had the most blush-inducing encounters with the tyrant hero, but in the end, she died young.
And that wasn't all. Because of her, the tyrant had secretly eliminated her elder sister, Lan Xun.
Lan Xi: My sister and I have had it so rough!
After they were exiled, Lan Xi decisively fled with her elder sister.
They hid in a remote town, struggling to survive. Lan Xi made inquiries in secret and heard that the awful male lead had gone missing among the common people, while the current Crown Prince was hunting him everywhere.
Lan Xi: Hope you take him out soon.
At the time, her frail elder sister was in a wheelchair. Seeing the beautiful woman at home, cool and elegant as a painting, Lan Xi secretly made up her mind.
They depended on each other, and she would take good care of her elder sister.
At first, Lan Xun found having a younger sister annoying. But one night, his younger sister quietly climbed into his bed.
On that rainy night, she trembled and curled up against him, clinging to his embrace like a flower on the verge of blooming.
Lan Xun instantly came to his senses.
The poison of lust inside him had flared up.
After that, Lan Xun couldn't bear to let her go. He insisted on holding Lan Xi as they slept every night.
He seemed addicted, wanting only Lan Xi to soothe him.
So the tall Lan Xun leaned against the door and beckoned Lan Xi with a finger, his captivating peach-blossom eyes drawing her in.
"Come here."
Lan Xun said, "Come home and go to bed."
Lan Xi ran over with a grin and hugged Lan Xun. Oh, she loved her elder sister most of all!
Later, when the new emperor, Zhou Xun, ascended the throne, Lan Xi saw his face from the high platform. The man was handsome and striking, with bright peach-blossom eyes.
Wasn't that her elder sister?
Lan Xi bit down in disbelief. Elder sister, so you're the tyrant hero of this erotic novel?!

To survive, Lan Xun had concealed his identity since childhood and taken a secret medicine, leaving him in a half-human, half-ghost state.
He couldn't even live as a man. He must never fall in love, or feel desire.
But Lan Xi...
She had dimples when she smiled, and always liked to burrow into his arms, sweetly calling him "Lan Xun."
His illness tormented him almost unbearably, yet Lan Xi willingly stayed by the side of a madman like him.
She said she liked him, liked him very much, liked him most of all.
Lan Xun couldn't resist. Eighteen years of restraint came undone.
That night, the poison took hold.
