Top-Tier Succubus x Untouchable Beauty
Last year, Shen Peiwan's parents both died under mysterious circumstances.
In the blink of an eye, she went from being the daughter of a renowned scholar in Luojing to an orphan with no one in the world.
Before she could even wipe away her tears, one of her mother's sworn sisters took her into the household of the prestigious Langya Wang clan, raising her as her own daughter.
Not long after entering the manor, Shen Peiwan sensed that something was amiss everywhere. Fortunately, she found the Wang clan's weak spot: their eldest young master, Wang Ji, the finest man among the great clans.
She called him "big brother," her voice as sweet as a honey-coated knife.
Wang Ji was lukewarm in response to her advances, but he was a good person and protected her at every turn, making her plans much easier to carry out.
With her goal nearly achieved, Shen Peiwan remembered all his help. She apologized sincerely and came to truly accept him as her elder brother.
But Wang Ji showed no sign of happiness. He gripped her wrist tightly and, after a long silence, said only, "You've got quite some nerve."
Wang Ji, eldest young master of the Langya Wang clan, courtesy name Huaizhen, entered a monastery to cultivate in seclusion as a boy. His bearing was ethereal, and no one among Luojing's noble clans could compare to him.
People said, "To see Huaizhen is to see an immortal."
Then a sharp-tongued younger sister came to live in his home, and ten years of ascetic cultivation went to waste in a single day.
He never imagined that when her fiance came to discuss their marriage, she would start avoiding him and never knock on his door again.
When he saw her again, she bowed to him and called him only "elder brother."
Elder brother, Wang Ji repeated silently several times.
Had she forgotten? On that rainy Dragon Boat Festival, she had lifted her dripping skirt and hidden beneath his corridor, begging him for shelter. Afterward, she had coaxed him, drawn close to him, and even kissed the corner of his lips, a breach of propriety.
And now she called him elder brother.
That was not right.
