The younger sister pretends to be hypnotized, and her older brother gets addicted.

After saying goodbye to Ke Yun, Ruan Yang's heart skipped a beat.

She walked past the Angel Fountain, through the lush garden, and into the main building.

The soft soles of the shoes made Ruan Yang feel as if she were floating on cotton when she stepped on the oak steps.

She felt a little dizzy.

She had read "The Female Imperial Envoy" and knew the widely circulated line, "To save Li Lang, she left her home, but who would have thought she would become the top scholar in the imperial examination."

She never imagined that she would actually see a woman dressed as a man in real life.

Ke Yun disguised herself as a man not to save Li Lang or Zhang Lang, but for the sake of her family's inheritance rights.

Yes, there's also a preference for sons over daughters abroad.

Ke Yun was raised as a boy by his parents from a young age, and the Orsini family business is very extensive.

Since the current leader has no direct children, the right of inheritance will fall to the most outstanding child in the family.

Ke Yun is the most outstanding child.

Over the years, Ke Yun dated many girlfriends in order to conceal his identity.

She is cheerful, sunny, handsome, thoughtful, doesn't smoke, and rarely drinks.

Who wouldn't like a handsome guy with a girl's soul?

Falling in love with her is as easy as breathing.

That's how he got the nickname "Playboy".

Until recently, her uncle began to suspect her.

He suspected that his little bastard nephew was a girl.

In the Orsini family, girls have no right to inheritance.

Therefore, the uncle hired a private investigator to investigate Ke Yun.

Ke Yun saw the person secretly filming her in the rearview mirror at the hotel entrance.

So Ke Yun would grab her hand and press it against his chest.

The soft texture and the marks of a corset made Ruan Yang realize, even though she had never been exposed to corsets before, that she was a girl.

All suspicions and concerns were dispelled.

She got into Ke Yun's car and listened to her story.

How can a little girl play the role of a boy for 22 years in today's technologically advanced society?

This is truly legendary.

But Ruan Yang had one question:

"Why are you telling me something so important? Aren't you afraid I'll leak it?"

Ke Yun admitted frankly: "I'm sorry, but I investigated you when you were taking your friend back to their room."

"You were fostered by the Jiang family, broke up with the second young master of the Jiang family, and you saved his life. I guess the Jiang family will recognize you as their goddaughter."

"My purpose in coming to Beijing and Hong Kong this time is to reach a cooperation agreement with the Jiang family. The European market has been sluggish in recent years, and we are looking for cooperation with the East."

"If we can form a marriage alliance, it will only benefit my right to inherit the throne. You are not short of money, and the Jiang family will protect you. My uncle's bribes and threats will be ineffective against you."

"..."

Those amber eyes were very honest.

"So, Miss Ruan, if you're willing to marry me, I'll give you a generous reward that will satisfy you. If you find someone else three years later, we can get a divorce."

"In addition, I also saw your dance works—"

"Excuse my bluntness, but with your talent and ability, it's a waste to only teach children to dance. If you'd like, you're welcome to join the La Scala Opera Company."

Ke Yun speaks in a formal, literary style.

He's like a little Confucius from the West.

Ruan Yang listened to this.

Ke Yun lacks a wife, while she lacks a husband.

Ke Yun is good-looking, clean, thoughtful, willing to spend money on her, and has no unusual fetishes.

The only downside might be Plato.

But that's exactly what Ruan Yang doesn't care about at all!

The astrological chart was correct.

She met her soulmate!

However, since it involves marriage, she still needs to tell her older brother.

Therefore, he did not reply to Ke Yun immediately.

Ruan Yang lifted her skirt and quietly went upstairs.

I bumped into Ming's wife just as she came downstairs.

Ruan Yang greeted her, "Ming-sao, thank you for helping me take a bath yesterday."

Ming's steps faltered.

She stayed at the old house all day and didn't go to Moon Bay at all.

Moon Bay is the young master's private property.

It goes without saying who bathed Ruan Yang.

Aunt Ming broke out in a cold sweat: "Ah, um, this... you're welcome."

Ruan Yang smiled and didn't notice Ming's hesitation.

Goodnight, Ming-sao.

"……Good night."

Ruan Yang went upstairs lightly, but Ming Sao's steps became heavy.

Looking at the naive Miss Ruan, her conscience ached a little.

The words she almost said were swallowed back down when she thought of her child.

Ming's wife is an elder in the Jiang family.

I've practically watched Jiang Yanci and Jiang Zhuo grow up.

Since Miss Ruan came to the Jiang residence, she's been like a little sun, bringing smiles to everyone's faces.

These days, the servants are gossiping that the second young master has another girl he likes and even filmed a couple's video with her, and that he no longer wants Miss Ruan.

But Sister Ming felt that the second young master might not dislike Miss Ruan.

He's just like a primary school boy pulling a little girl's hair ornament; he hasn't yet figured out how to be romantic.

But look at how the young master is fighting and grabbing...

I'm afraid that before the second young master even realizes what's going on, he'll start calling Miss Ruan "sister-in-law."

Ming's wife sighed and hurried downstairs.

Ruan Yang returned to her room.

She was so happy.

She finally found her marriage partner today, and without even realizing it, she hummed a Huangmei opera tune, "Leaving Home to Save Li Lang," as she pushed open the door to her room.

The bedroom door opened.

As the door opened, the warm ambient lighting automatically turned on, illuminating the pink and white princess room.

Ruan Yang paused, her steps faltering.

She saw her older brother standing in her room.

The moonlight streamed through the window, illuminating his broad shoulders. Backlit, his expression was obscured.

His tall, slender figure was cast on the floor, the shadow stretching very long and flowing around her feet.

It was as if if she took one step forward, she would step into that dark, thick shadow and be doomed forever.

"Big brother?" Ruan Yang called out tentatively.

Did you have fun today?

Jiang Yanci spoke, his tone no different from usual.

Ruan Yang breathed a sigh of relief; she had thought that her feigned amnesia had been discovered.

She nodded. "I'm very happy today."

She walked over, unsure how to bring up Ke Yun with her older brother.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yanci spoke first.

"Any guys you like at today's social gathering?"

"I didn't meet anyone at the social gathering," Ruan Yang said honestly.

Jiang Yanci's expression softened slightly, just as Ruan Yang added, "But I've met someone I really like, and I want to marry her!"
