【Scheming little white rabbit × guiding, fatherly lover and ruthless wolf】
The Shen family's legitimate son is a top scholar in the imperial examinations, stunningly beautiful and a once-in-a-generation genius.
Women in the capital are lining up to marry him, nearly wearing a path to the Shen residence's doorstep.
Meanwhile, Su Qingli, a child brought home by a concubine and raised in the servants' quarters,
wakes up one day five years later and finds herself the legitimate eldest brother's concubine.
Does that make any sense?
You're telling me that my upright, kindhearted eldest brother, who topped the imperial exams and became chief minister,
is not only a corrupt official, but also abducted me and keeps me captive in his manor?
The king fears him, the common people dread him, and even the Shen family keeps its doors shut rather than risk provoking him.
Only then does Qingli learn that she isn't a member of the Shen family.
Her mother isn't connected to the Shen family either.
And that woman isn't her mother.
Shen Shangxu has gone mad. His eyes bloodshot, he kisses her lips almost obsessively, pleading over and over: “Li'er, my dear Li'er.”
Qingli swallows, too frightened to even breathe.
Shen Shangxu has always aspired to study hard, bring honor to his family, and petition on behalf of the people.
But eventually, everyone turns against him.
Unable to have the woman he loves, he can only keep her imprisoned in his manor.
Perhaps Heaven takes pity on him.
One day, the woman who had been desperate to escape him tremulously calls out to him.
“B-Big Brother.”
She seems to have forgotten the lover who was half-dead in prison, too.
Shen Shangxu's lips curl into a smile, and the darkness in his eyes gradually gives way to light.
Scene 1
Qingli is lazing on a reclining chair, dreaming of Shen Shangxu's tidal wave of love for her.
She murmurs, “Shen Shangxu, stop kissing me, mm.”
When she opens her eyes, she sees Shen Shangxu at twenty, handsome and dashing, a faint blush on his cheeks.
His fingers curl as he stares at her blankly.
“Li'er, what… what were you dreaming about just now?”
Qingli: “…”
Scene 2
After returning to her birth parents, everyone says Qingli is spoiled, delicate, and easy to bully.
Yet she orders someone to strip a young nobleman who raced his horse down the street and hang him upside down in the marketplace, whipping him as punishment.
She also takes a knife and chops off the head of a sharp-tongued eunuch.
“Watch your mouth, and don't let me catch you at it.” Her doe eyes lift slightly, with a hint of cruel amusement.
The capital is in an uproar, and everyone gives her a wide berth.
1. Happy ending, both are virgins. Both transmigrate; dual storylines across two timelines, each with a different story.
2. They are not related by blood and were never raised together. They have never had a familial relationship, and the heroine is registered in another place.
3. The second male lead transmigrates from modern times to ancient times.
4. A top-tier story of someone being raised into greatness: the hero personally raises an ambitious woman.
Theme: Even when the world changes, never give up on yourself.
