The Duke's Sister

Young, powerful duke x (supposed) illegitimate younger sister

Aloof, arrogant brother-con, with impeccable gentlemanly conduct x a scheming, sweet-talking man-eating flower

The young Duke of Augusta has won countless military honors and wields enormous power. He is an idol to many young men in the city and the dream lover of countless noble ladies.

Only he knows the depth of his sins.

At some point, he developed unspeakably sinful feelings for his mixed-race illegitimate younger sister, whom he raised with his own hands.

"She was born a poisonous snake clinging to a great tree, with gleaming pearl-like fangs and ambitious eyes, coveting the only plump, sweet apple in the estate."

"But that was exactly what he expected of her."

Bone of his bone, blood of his blood.

Reader's Guide:

1. Both leads are pure.

2. The heroine's mother was forcibly taken as a lover by the hero's father. So at first, many people, including the leads themselves, believe they are half-siblings. In fact, they are distant cousins. This will be explained in detail later in the story, and they will not be together while they believe they are related. The heroine's mother was never officially recognized, so the leads are not listed in the same household register.

The setting is that noble couples usually have lovers of their own. The hero's parents married purely for political reasons, and the hero's mother also has an illegitimate child.

Theme: No matter the circumstances, keep striving and live life with strength.
