Coming soon, book 2: Elder Sister: The Untouchable One's Dark Obsession Long ago, her father brought home the orphaned son of an old friend and raised him. Years passed, and the boy who had once lived under another's roof became a rising star at court. The ailing Xue Yutang came to the capital for medical treatment and stayed at the Gu residence. She was glad that back when Gu Ruzhang had lived under their roof, she had looked after the boy who was a year younger than her. When they reunited, they treated each other with respect. Gu Ruzhang did everything he could to find her a doctor and get her treated. He honored and respected her, softly calling her, "Elder Sister." Xue Yutang thought they would get along as harmoniously as before, until one day she found a secret passage in her room-- one that led to his room. His secret chamber was filled with her portraits, covering every wall. The silk handkerchiefs she had misplaced and the discarded drafts she had thrown away were all there. In a small journal, he had recorded her likes and dislikes, along with every detail of her daily life, from what she wore and ate to where she went. It turned out he had harbored feelings for her from the very beginning. Xue Yutang was terrified and unsettled. She tried to escape, only to discover that Gu Ruzhang had locked the door tight. The man, as pure as a clear breeze and bright moon, advanced on her step by step. "Elder Sister, where are you going? You saw it, so now you want to run?" * In the eyes of the world, Gu Ruzhang was a man of impeccable propriety, a favorite of the emperor, and an untouchable flower on a high peak. But only he knew how vile his feelings were for the elder sister who had once cared for him. He had been trying to find an excuse to bring her to the capital, and then fate sent him the perfect opportunity. Gu Ruzhang had held back for years. He had planned to confess his feelings after making his name, but before he could say a word, he saw her boating on the lake with a young nobleman. The blue water rippled around them as she held a bundle of peonies and gazed lovingly at the man beside her. He gave a cold, sinister smile, possessive and unhinged. So Elder Sister wanted to marry someone else. That would never do. * Xue Yutang married, but lost a portion of her memories. She could never remember what had happened. All she knew was that her husband was her childhood friend, now a rising star at court. After they married, they were deeply in love, sweet as honey. But gradually, Xue Yutang sensed something was wrong. When her memories finally returned, she realized the person she had wanted to marry was someone else. Xue Yutang packed her things and ran. A galloping horse blocked her path. Gu Ruzhang looked at her coldly. The swell beneath her dress could no longer be hidden. "My lady, you're pregnant. Do you still intend to run away?"
