[A cowardly, survival-minded fake heiress vs. an obsessive, possessive real young master]
Shen Yuming transmigrated into a cannon-fodder fake heiress in a badly concluded drama. The original girl had been frail and sickly since childhood. After the real young master drove her out of the family home, she soon died on the streets.
The real young master was the story's ultimate villain, a powerful chief grand secretary who ruled the court. He was cold, ruthless, and naturally suspicious.
She met the real young master ahead of time.
To avoid the original girl's fate, she quietly worked to earn his favor, caring for him when he had a fever and rescuing him when he was trapped...
On the day the real young master returned home,
Shen Yuming smiled sweetly and called him, "Brother."
He didn't send her away. Instead, he stared at her for a long time.
The fake heiress's true identity was exposed.
Everyone mocked her and accused her of usurping another girl's place.
The real young master's gaze turned sinister. "So my little sister has been lying to me all along."
Though angry, he announced to the outside world that she was still a daughter of the Shen family.
In her dreams, Shen Yuming always felt someone watching her from beside the bed.
Then she accidentally entered his study and saw that every inch of the walls was covered in tiny portraits of her... As her brother, he actually coveted her!
The real young master handed her a knife and held her hand. "Are you angry, little sister? Do you want to kill me?"
Terrified, Shen Yuming fled in a panic and turned to her parents to discuss marriage, hoping to marry as soon as possible and get away from the real young master.
He didn't stop her. Smiling like a peach blossom, he helped her choose her phoenix crown. "Do you like being a bride, little sister?"
Shen Yuming forced a smile. "I do."
On her wedding day, gongs and drums sounded through the streets.
Someone lifted her red veil, and a chill ran down Shen Yuming's spine.
The real young master stood before her in bright red wedding robes, holding silver shackles. "If you like being a bride, then you'll marry your brother every day and every night."

Shen Jichuan had rotted in the mire, until Yuming reached out and pulled him up to see the light.
He brought his birth parents back to the estate and told him that Yuming was his biological younger sister.
But every night, he dreamed of Yuming's slender waist and soft body, of her leaning against his shoulder, whimpering and begging for mercy... What did worldly rules and morals matter? Yuming belonged to him alone.
