Qi Yanying was born into a distinguished aristocratic family and was breathtakingly beautiful. Though she was spoiled, willful, and unreasonable, she had always had everything go her way.
One day, she dreamed of a past life and discovered that she was a fake heiress, mistakenly brought back from the countryside by the third branch of the family. Her future would be turned upside down, with everyone turning against her. The only person who spoke up for her was her most hated older brother, Qi Yue.
Qi Yue was the family’s most valued legitimate eldest son, a noble young gentleman praised by all for his talent and integrity, and the future head of the upright, dignified Qi clan. Yet toward her, he was always cold and distant, never giving her a kind word.
Qi Yanying gradually realized that he was the only one who was different.
From then on, a little shadow followed Qi Yue wherever he went, impossible to shake off. Instead of calling him “Elder Brother” in a casual, indifferent voice, she started sweetly calling him “Big Brother.”
But that day still came.
The real heiress returned, and everyone began to distance themselves from Qi Yanying and look down on her again. On the day the real heiress was welcomed back into the family, it was her brother who presided over the ceremony.
“I hate you all!”
She smashed a vase and tore up a rare book in Qi Yue’s study. For the first time, sparkling tears welled in the eyes that had always been so bold and carefree.
“Don’t think putting on a hypocritical act will make me forgive you. One day, I’ll trample every last one of you underfoot!”
Qi Yue paid no attention to the wreckage strewn across the floor. He only gazed at the tears on her face, his expression inscrutable.
His long, cool fingers wiped away the tears in her eyes. He used a little too much force, leaving faint red marks on her pale, tender cheeks.
His little sister was just as beautiful when she cried.
Though she had lost her birthright, at least she still had her beauty. Qi Yanying resolved to marry into a powerful family and get her revenge on everyone one day.
At long last, she got her wish, and her wedding was approaching. Yet her temper grew stranger by the day, and she often went missing.
As everyone searched anxiously for her, two figures were entwined in the eldest young master's study.
“The young master of the Boling Cui clan probably can’t help you do anything to your big brother.”
Qi Yue’s voice was soft, a smile on his lips. He still looked like the same refined gentleman, gentle and courteous, as always. But his hand around her ankle held a strength that left no room to escape. “If you want to trample your big brother underfoot, you’ll have to rely on yourself, Yanying.”
Notes:
1. A spoiled, beautiful airhead who never gets caught up in self-doubt * a hypocritical gentleman who’s secretly possessive and obsessive.
2. The male and female leads are not blood relatives, and there is more to the female lead’s background.
3. One-on-one romance, both leads’ first time, happy ending.
Theme: Every force has its match
