(Not biologically siblings)
Qingwan was born of low status, as insignificant as an ant. Sold from one person to another since childhood, she endured every kind of hardship.
By chance, at the age of seven, she assumed someone else's identity and became the second young lady of the Wei family.
But her good fortune did not last. The father who brought her to the general's residence soon died of illness. After that, Qingwan was mistreated and tormented in every way by her stepmother.
To protect herself, she had no choice but to turn her attention to her elder half-brother.
Day after day, she tried to win him over. The brother who had been as cold as ice gradually began looking at her with affection instead of indifference, and started helping and protecting her.
By the time she came of age, Wei Qingwan had blossomed into a beauty with the grace of an immortal. Suitors came one after another to ask for her hand.
She thought her brother would choose a wealthy family for her, just as she wished, and that she would spend the rest of her life in comfort and peace.
But every man who came near her eventually left, and the marriage she wanted was secretly ruined by him.
Qingwan suddenly became afraid of him.
So afraid that in the end, she would rather give up her identity and wealth than stay near him. She had to escape him.
After making a plan, she finally got away.
Two years later, in a small town far from Chang'an, she accepted a physician's marriage proposal.
She thought she had finally escaped him for good, but on the day of the wedding, her nightmare returned.
A line of black-armored soldiers suddenly rushed in through the door, swords at her groom's throat. Then a tall figure, radiating an overwhelming presence, slowly walked inside. The man glared at her with a sinister look and gave her a cold smile.
"Dear little sister, if you want to save him, come beg me..."
Wei Zhang made a name for himself at a young age. Skilled in both letters and arms, he was a brave and accomplished warrior. At nineteen, he was named Grand General of the Pillar State for his military achievements. The noble young ladies of Chang'an all admired him, and the aristocracy held him up as a role model for the next generation.
But no one knew that the Grand General Wei, who was upright and valiant in public, dignified and stern, and kept his distance from women, secretly harbored forbidden feelings for his own half-sister...
Reading guide:
1. Not biologically siblings. No blood relation. Coercive possessiveness.
2. The romance and intimate scenes, including marriage, begin only after their familial relationship has been severed.
3. The setting is fictional, so don't overanalyze it.
