Shen Ci was the head of a distinguished family with a century of history. Upright and dignified, he was the ideal man in the eyes of Chang'an's many noblewomen.
He held the court in his grasp and never met a challenge he couldn't overcome, until the day he found his nightclothes on the bed of his younger sister, Shen Fu. The garment was damp and glistening.
Shen Fu was his own sister, and their identities and blood ties were an insurmountable divide.
His sister was innocent and adorable, and deeply in love with him. If he rejected her, she would be heartbroken. After struggling for a long time, Shen Ci decided to accept her and be together with her.
What did it matter if he defied the whole world? As long as his sister was happy, he would do anything.
Just as he was about to confess his feelings, he heard his sister say, “Brother, I want to be with Zi'an.”
Zi'an was Shen Ci's friend, a man of noble birth, and a perfect match for Shen Fu.
After Zi'an and Shen Fu got engaged, he came to visit every few days. Shen Ci was like a male ghost, always hiding in the shadows, unable to stop himself from spying on Zi'an and Shen Fu together.
The day before the wedding, Shen Fu disappeared. Her dignified, self-restrained elder brother held her in his arms and murmured, “What's so good about Zi'an? Whatever he can give you, I can give you too. And what he can't give you, I can give you that, too. Little sister, why won't you just listen?”
