Scheming Adopted Son x Oblivious Older Sister
When Li Yue was ten, the Li Prime Minister's residence took in a handsome little boy who had been left to wander the streets.
Over time, the boy grew into a handsome young man who excelled at both his studies and conduct. Everyone said he was destined for great things.
Li Yue said the boy's eyes were not innocent when he looked at her, but even her personal maid didn't believe her.
"You spend every day having fun and getting into trouble, Miss, while the young general is always proper and reserved. Stop dreaming in broad daylight. He wouldn't look twice at you even if he were interested in the butcher's daughter in the eastern part of town..."
How utterly insulting! She was the dignified eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's household. She could put up with a lot, but this was too much!
She got angry, packed her things, and decided to run away from home.
Just as she climbed over the wall, she suddenly collided with a broad chest.
He lowered his head and gently cupped her foot in his hand.
With his other hand, he carefully pulled her silk sock back on.
"Why are you running away in such a hurry, Big Sister? You even lost a shoe."
He lifted his face, his eyes dark as two deep pools.
"If you're this reckless again, you'll have to be punished."
Character introduction:
When Qi Mo was young, he was frail. He was small and had no parents to look out for him, so he was bullied constantly.
Once, someone tricked him into climbing a tree, and he couldn't get down. He held back his tears and refused to cry. His unrelated older sister, Li Yue, searched all over the mountains for him for half the day. With her face smeared with dirt, she climbed up the tree and carried him home on her back.
Li Yue said, "You little brat, you're my own little brother now. I'll never let anyone bully you again!"
But later, she noticed that the people who had bullied him would mysteriously fall into water, disappear, or get tied up in trees they couldn't climb down from just a few days later.
After they were rescued, they would change their tune, trembling as they came to apologize to the little brat in person. Some would bring gifts and try desperately to win him over, while others would cry and beg to make him their big brother...
Li Yue planted her hands on her hips: My little brother is so helpless and frail, and you still bully him! Bad people always get what's coming to them! Serves you right!
She failed to notice the increasingly broad smile on Qi Mo's face as he hid behind her.
Later, Li Yue's reputation for being too fierce made her worry about finding a husband.
She frowned. "You little brat, are people too scared to marry me?"
Qi Mo paused in turning a page, nodded, and smiled meaningfully.
What he was thinking was: With me here, how could I ever let you marry someone else?
"If a younger man doesn't call you Big Sister, he's got a wild mind."
Happy ending, both leads are virgins, sweet romance.
He's adopted, not her biological brother.
Theme: Handsome men are a dangerous species.
