Mistaken Hearts

To uncover the mastermind who sought to annihilate her family, Luo Xinci assumed the identity of a marquis’s illegitimate daughter and entered the capital. On her very first day in the household, she witnessed a chilling scene of “fatherly kindness and filial devotion”—played out with blades flashing and blood spilling. Luo Xinci: “…” With no way out, she forced herself to bow in greeting to her legitimate elder brother. His fair face was flecked with blood. Lifting his eyes lazily, he remarked with layered meaning: “Girls change so much as they grow—your brother can hardly recognize his little sister anymore.” Luo Xinci: “…Yes… elder brother.” The “younger sister” was a counterfeit. Ming Yuhe did not expose her. He watched coldly as she acted, and when she faltered, he extended a hand, helping her resolve a thorny problem. Luo Xinci’s eyes lit up. “Brother…” “If you want me to teach you, I can,” he said. His fingertips brushed a loose strand of her hair, his gaze sliding from her cheek to her flushed lips. His voice was low, almost languid: “Only, I am a man of corrupt morals—fondest of all in breaking the codes of propriety. Do you understand?” Luo Xinci: … Heavens! Are all these lords and nobles so utterly deranged?! Notes at the end of the blurb: 1. Cover template. 2. Entirely fictional setting, one‑on‑one romance, single couple. 3.
