His question failed to surprise Lu Liangwei in the slightest; she had already deduced it was the very reason for his wait.

“Big Brother, are you hoping that I’d become Long Chi’s concubine?”

“Of course not...” A glint of grief flickered in Lu Tingchen’s eyes, though he swiftly silenced himself and fixed her with a stern glare that screamed ‘you’re beyond hope’.

“Neither do I,” Lu Liangwei replied without delay.

Lu Tingchen froze in shock momentarily, fixing his gaze on her while pondering the sincerity behind her words.

Aware of his doubts, Lu Liangwei stepped closer, her fingers gently tracing her neck as she met her brother’s eyes. “I nearly died. Now I’ve come to see my own foolish stubbornness clearly.”

Her lighthearted tone drew a frown from Lu Tingchen, whose sight drifted to the pale skin of her neck, revealing the hideous fresh bruise. His hands at his sides tightened into fists.

“Stupid girl, you’re just too stupid!” Lu Tingchen burst out in anger before spinning around to depart.

Observing the young man’s retreating figure, Lu Liangwei sensed no fury—only a surge of warmth.

Her so-called cheap brother didn’t truly despise her as his actions implied. In reality, his concern for her ran profoundly deep.

She surmised he had hastened back home upon learning of her suicide attempt.

Back at Dusklight Court earlier, she had spotted him still clad in his armor, as though he had rushed directly to her side.

Her only grievance remained that her big brother always lashed out with cutting words, despite his obvious affection.

Shaking her head with a smile, she made her way back to Dusklight Court.

On the next morning, Lu Liangwei crafted breakfast herself and carried it over to Lu Tingchen at Constellation Harvest Court.

In stark contrast to Dusklight Court’s lavish decorations and luxuries, Constellation Harvest Court sprawled as a vast open expanse. Save for bamboo groves dotting parts of the yard, no flowers or plants graced the space. The broad clearing had been converted into a martial arts practice ground.

Stepping into the courtyard, she saw Lu Tingchen drilling his sword forms.

Weapon racks brimming with an array of arms flanked both sides of the expansive training field.

Lu Liangwei halted in her spot, quietly admiring her brother’s training session.

Lu Tingchen commanded expert proficiency over every weapon in his arsenal, handling each with effortless mastery.

He glided through the arena with stunning speed and seamless grace.

Every technique and motion seized the spectator’s full focus.

Though Lu Liangwei understood nothing of martial arts, she couldn’t restrain her applause and commendations.

Small wonder her brother had ascended to palace cavalry commander at such a tender age.

Among the myriad youths of his era, Lu Tingchen shone as a prodigious talent.

Sadly, in the tale’s later chapters...

Once Lu Liangwei took her own life, Lu Tingchen nursed a burning grudge against Long Chi and Lu Yunshuang. Long Chi had been the first to pursue and entice her, only to cast her aside after toying with her affections before wedding Lu Yunshuang.

Blinded by unyielding love, Lu Liangwei offered to serve as his concubine, yet Long Chi wouldn’t spare her a glance. Shattered and hopeless, she ended her life by hanging.

Seeking vengeance for her, Lu Tingchen launched a coup on the eve of Long Chi’s coronation, but met only a sorrowful demise amid the clash.

Lu Liangwei’s eyes brimmed with tears as she contemplated the grim fate awaiting Lu Tingchen.

Though Lu Tingchen pretended to scorn his sister, his heart brimmed with immense love for his ‘Lil Sis’.

The devotion he held for Lu Liangwei rivaled even that of their father, Lu Hetian. Yet Lu Liangwei’s immaturity proved the issue—the greater his expectations for his little sister, the deeper his letdowns.

A heavy gloom settled over Lu Liangwei at the thought of such a heartbreaking end for her handsome, caring brother.

Transmigrated into the supporting female character’s role, Lu Liangwei—herself—had already shifted the story’s trajectory. She pondered whether she might alter Lu Tingchen’s destiny as well.
