Alone with the Roses

(They are not blood-related!! This is to avoid any potential deal-breakers.)

[Scheming, sweet-talking younger sister × aloof, unattainable older brother]

The sudden arrival of a “younger sister” was like a thorn under Shi Yanzhou’s fingernail. Leaving it there was irritating and troublesome, but pulling it out would hurt his heart.

Born into a wealthy family, Shi Yanzhou was impeccably mannered, cool, and noble.

Yu Tingwan, meanwhile, was like a wild rose. She looked pure and lovely, but was prickly all over, seductively alluring without even knowing it. Though covered in wounds, she still had an irresistible charm that made people want to pluck her.

When they first met, Yu Tingwan smiled and walked up to introduce herself, gentle and graceful as a white magnolia.

“Brother…”

Meeting her gaze, the boy’s eyes turned icy. “Disgusting.”

Later, on a dark night in early winter, the woman was cornered in a room. Outside the window, snow fell in great flakes; inside, the air was warm and charged with desire, their breaths entwined.

The woman smiled seductively, unable to resist brushing her nails over his bobbing Adam’s apple. “Brother…”

The man swore under his breath and pulled her closer. “Wanwan.”

“I’m not your brother.”

“I’m your man.”
