Dreaming Together with My Ailing Brother

Half a year after their engagement, Ci Ying began having strange dreams.

She dreamed her fiancé loved someone else and that she was about to become a stepping stone for him to rise again.

To avoid disaster, she resolved to break off the engagement. But the dreams kept going...

The first time she drew close to the man in white robes and a jade crown, whose face she couldn’t make out, she recognized the familiar scent of medicine on him.

After their reckless encounter, she caught him by the wrist and asked, “What’s your name?”

The man didn’t answer.

After several such encounters, she finally noticed that he had a habit of rubbing his wrist.

Before she could go looking for him, she saw the next day at the family dinner table that the person sitting opposite her was her ailing brother, with whom she had a poor relationship. His lashes lowered as he slowly rubbed his wrist...

He seemed to be looking healthier than before.

Aside from those hard-to-explain dreams, Ci Ying’s relationship with her brother grew closer by the day.

Whenever she saw Jiang Yu’s concerned face looking healthier, she would remember the shameful dreams in which he seemed like a different person, and guilt would well up in her heart.

Strangely, the young man often brushed her cheek with his hand and softly asked,

“Did you sleep well last night?”

Jiang Yu had been frail since childhood. In everyone’s eyes, he was a gentleman of impeccable virtue, as flawless as white jade.

But no one knew of the greedy desire hidden in his heart. From the day he dreamed of Ci Ying, his obsession had only deepened, and his delusions had run wild.
