When Hao Yuanman’s mother was young, she was breathtakingly beautiful, but her love life was full of hardship. After countless twists and turns, she died unhappy in an unnamed town in the south.
Before she passed away, her mother handed Yuanman a bundle of keepsakes: a jade pendant the color of emeralds, dazzling colored glass, a yellowed sachet, a torn letter...
Her mother stroked Yuanman’s childish cheek and said, “After I’m gone, that dim head of yours won’t be able to protect you. Go north, then. Take these tokens with you. Your father and brothers will surely keep you safe.”
Yuanman understood. The bundle contained tokens belonging to her many fathers, brothers, and older sisters.
After seeing to her mother’s funeral, Yuanman set off north with the bundle on her back.

Yuanman inherited her mother’s exquisite figure and looks, but a high fever in childhood left her muddleheaded. Everyone said she wasn’t very bright.
That was true.
She had barely stepped out of town when the damned human traffickers tricked her and sold her.
Fortunately, she was rescued along the way. The traffickers begged and wailed for mercy, but the nobleman at their head did not even blink as he turned the place into a river of blood.
The girls kidnapped alongside her trembled with fear. One whispered to Yuanman, “I think that’s Prince Yu of Huaijing. He’s famous for his cruelty and violence.”
Yuanman looked at the handsome young man on horseback, sword in hand, and wasn’t scared at all. She snatched her bundle from the traffickers’ corpses, waded through the blood, and ran cheerfully to Prince Yu’s horse. “Brother, brother! I’m your little sister! Mother sent me to find you so you could take care of me!”
Cui Jing: ?

At first glance, Yuanman spotted the half jade pendant hanging from her brother’s sword hilt. It matched one of the keepsakes her mother had left behind, and together they formed a pair.
She decided that someone this handsome had to be her brother!
Her brother, whom she had never met, was the nicest person in the world. He carried her as they rode tall horses, put her in soft, comfortable carriages, dressed her in silk and satin, showered her with glittering gold and silver jewelry, and gave her the most delicious meals and pastries.
When anyone bullied her, her brother stood up for her and taught them a lesson!
He raised her to be the happiest young woman in the world.
Yuanman had not forgotten her mother’s instructions either. After reuniting with her family, they had to love one another. Grinning foolishly, Yuanman moved close to her angry, gloomy brother and planted a loud kiss on his cheek.
Her brother and his subordinates froze.
Yuanman giggled. “Brother, Aman loves you most of all.”
Everyone saw their Prince Yu, who killed without blinking, change from a gloomy expression to a bright one. He smiled in a way that was both chilling and doting. “You really are impossible to resist.”

Later, Yuanman saw a man who looked remarkably like her come to the door. He said he was her real older brother.
Yuanman panicked. Then who was the brother who had loved her like family day and night all this time???
