Life is but a grand dream, and in this dream, there is only my senior brother and me. Who can claim my senior brother for themselves, relying solely on love? A gentle, elegant, and slightly seductive young senior brother versus his mischievous and willful junior sister who torments him every day. "My senior brother died when I was sixteen." "He is not my unattainable love; rather, he is the unattainable love for everyone else except me." "My senior brother and I depended on each other for survival. He had a natural talent for everything, while I was hopelessly untalented. Before our sect was destroyed, our former master forced him to swear to protect me, so he had no choice but to become a disciple, learn the arts of immortality, hone his sword skills, and take me with him wherever he went." "I envied him and disliked him, bickering with him every day. Because everyone adored him, and everyone saw me as his useless burden. The female sword cultivators and talisman masters were all infatuated with him, yet they despised me, the one always at his side." "I wanted to escape from my senior brother, to flee from his world. After I left, I learned from others that all those who claimed to love him, who saw him as their unattainable love, each had their own reasons to kill him." "Amidst a sky filled with sword light, my senior brother perished in battle. But how could I, the malicious woman whom everyone hated and only my senior brother cared for, possibly let their wishes come true? I snuck back, determined to save him."
