Pseudo-incest | Slight horror | Mysterious identity | Coercive romance | Obsessive control
On a stormy night filled with thunder and lightning, Shen Zhengnian brought a drenched girl back to Jasmine Manor.
Through the enormous floor-to-ceiling windows, the young Shen Xun watched her slender figure and smiled with interest.
His stepmother, only five years older than him, exhaled a ring of smoke and asked as if she were enjoying a show, "Is that your father's illegitimate daughter?"
Shen Xun curled his lips. "I doubt he could father a daughter that beautiful."
The woman tapped the glass with one fingertip, shaking ash from her cigarette. "Look at her eyes. They're exactly like yours."
Shen Xun licked his lips, his smile growing more amused. "Perhaps. How interesting."
A year later, Shen Zhengnian, the richest man in Linhuai, died unexpectedly.
His billions in assets, company shares, and even Jasmine Manor were all left to Shen Xun, the only son he had publicly acknowledged.
But no one knew that Qin Luoyao had received a substantial inheritance, too. The only catch was that the boy who called her "Big Sister" would hold it for her.
A single will bound her tightly to the manor, and to his side.
