Fang Xiao had someone she could never tell anyone about.
She was in love with her elder brother, Fang Huaihe.
Fang Huaihe was a refined gentleman known throughout the capital for his grace, elegance, and mastery of both letters and martial arts. Fang Xiao bore the title of his younger sister, bringing her closer to him than anyone else, yet leaving her farther from him than anyone else.
To her, the word “sister” was both a gift and a shackle.
Until she accidentally learned that she wasn’t a Fang by birth.
You dream about what you think of by day, and sometimes your dreams come true. Freed from the bonds of blood, Fang Xiao grew ever more brazen.

Lately, Fang Huaihe had increasingly felt that something was off about his little sister.
She had always been spoiled and clingy, but never like this. Her words and actions were too intimate, crossing the line into ambiguity. Every little thing she did was improper.
But she was the girl he had raised and cherished in the palm of his hand, so Fang Huaihe couldn’t bring himself to scold her harshly. At most, he would put on a stern face and reprimand her briefly before letting her have her way.

With Fang Huaihe nearing adulthood, the Fang family began looking among the capital’s noble families for a suitable young woman and making wedding arrangements.
After a full day of social engagements, Fang Huaihe returned home and ran into Fang Xiao, who was dead drunk.
Taking advantage of the alcohol, Fang Xiao confessed her feelings to him.
Fang Huaihe froze. Excitement and joy, fear and shame all surged through him at once.
After sitting alone in the courtyard all night, Fang Huaihe decided to request a posting to the border, never to return without an imperial order.
Unfortunately, before he could set out, someone’s scheme ensnared Fang Xiao.
After a night of reckless passion, they woke up in the same bed.
Fang Xiao leaned against his shoulder and looked Fang Huaihe straight in the eye, her breath sweet as orchids. “If you marry someone else, what am I supposed to do, Brother?”
[Reading Notes]
1. Both are virgins.
2. The male lead only finds out very late that she isn’t his biological sister. When they become a couple, they are no longer siblings even in name.
