Unexpectedly, while I was avoiding Shen Su, he came looking for me instead.

　　At that moment, he was sitting at my desk in the palace, and from my angle, I could see his cold, pale, and exquisite profile.

　　His nose was high and straight, his long curly eyelashes and the contour of half of his face were like a smooth and profound stroke in an ink painting.

　　With a brush in his slender hand, he was writing something on the rice paper.

　　Suddenly, I remembered the day I forcibly kissed Shen Su for the first time.

　　It was a sunny afternoon, and I had just finished lunch in the Eastern Palace.

　　Shen Su dragged me to practice calligraphy.

　　'Don't look at me, look at the characters,' Shen Su lightly tapped my forehead with his finger and scolded me with a serious expression.

　　'Oh.' Maybe I'm just naturally rebellious, the more he told me not to look, the more I wanted to.

　　I stared at Shen Su more intently, almost unblinking.

　　Helpless, Shen Su said a few words that I couldn't quite hear.

　　My two eyes stared fixedly at those medium thick lips, opening and closing.

　　Shen Su's appearance is exquisite, with skin as white as snow, and his slightly upturned lips are especially red, like a vivid rouge, irresistibly enticing.

　　I involuntarily swallowed my saliva, and the thought of offending him surged like a tsunami.

　　But the person in front of me is the most esteemed Crown Prince of Qisang Kingdom, and also my nominal older brother.

　　I cannot offend him.

　　I desperately restrained the thoughts in my mind, silently reciting a calming mantra.

　　However, the more I resisted, the stronger the desire to offend Shen Su became.

　　After a few moments, I couldn't hold back anymore and, with lightning speed, hooked my arms around Shen Su's neck and kissed him."

　　In the moment his lips touched mine, a satisfied sigh escaped my heart.

　　The feeling was much better than I had imagined, like kissing a snowflake about to melt or indulging in a pastry infused with fruit fragrance - cool, refreshing, and sweet.

　　Shen Su, on the other hand, seemed taken aback by my sudden offense and stared at me for a while before remembering to push me away.

　　Perhaps he was genuinely frightened by my actions because he pushed me two or three times before finally succeeding.

　　Shen Su's mouth hung open, but he couldn't find the words to say.

　　I licked my lips and threw myself into his embrace once again, wanting to continue teasing him.

　　However, he was prepared this time, using two fingers to cover my mouth.

　　His earlobes turned crimson, his eyelids lowered, showing a mix of shyness and annoyance.

　　"Brother, don't be so stingy.

　　Give me another kiss!" I embraced his waist, nuzzling my head against his chest, playfully pleading.

　　"Shen Zhaojun!" He rarely used such a serious tone to call my full name.

　　I tilted my head to look at him, blinking my eyes.

　　"I am your elder brother." "But we are not blood-related." "That doesn't matter." Shen Su's tone was resolute.

　　"As the old saying goes..." He scolded me for nearly half an hour before finally letting me go.

　　However, it went in one ear and out the other for me, not taking it too seriously.

　　Shen Su was always a different existence to me.

　　My birth mother was a concubine in the family, only a talented individual in the palace without much favor.

　　She passed away when I was eight due to illness.

　　Being so young and living in the deep palace without my mother's protection, one can imagine how miserable my days were.

　　Later, Shen Su saw my pitiful state and took me to the Eastern Palace, where I began to live a good life.

　　He treated me exceptionally well and was an incredibly good person.

　　Gentle, noble, elegant, pure, and intelligent...

　　In my eyes, every beautiful word in the world is not excessive for him.

　　Then one day, I accidentally discovered that I was not the emperor's biological daughter.

　　At that moment, I was at a loss and immediately, on instinct, told Shen Su, who fell silent for a while and told me not to tell anyone else.

　　If others were to find out, I would definitely die, but he would help me keep this secret.

　　I was deeply moved and silently vowed to be good to Shen Su for the rest of my life.

　　As I grew older, my admiration and adoration for him intensified, and along with it, a desire called "possession" grew stronger.

　　I had always thought it was just a sisterly affection for an elder brother, but now I realized it was not.

　　I longed for Shen Su, both emotionally and physically.

　　I liked him, and I wanted him! And Shen Su's pampering over the years had shaped my character into one that wanted immediate gratification.

　　After that forced kiss, I apologized and promised to change on the surface, but in reality, the desire to throw myself at him never disappeared.
