Aloof on the outside, warm-hearted and devoted sworn older brother vs. proud, sensitive heiress to a wealthy merchant family
[Reborn | Not-quite-siblings | Mutual healing | Revenge | Both leads are sexually inexperienced, happy ending]
In her previous life, Song Xining lost her family. Her father was murdered by his second wife’s family, her husband divorced her, and gravely ill, she had nowhere to go.
The only one who stayed by her side until the end was her sworn brother, Song Yi'an, whom she had despised since childhood.
Reborn in the years before her wedding, she vows to make everyone who wronged her pay: the second branch who plotted for her family’s wealth and her life, the heartless, selfish ex-husband, and the maid who betrayed her and did evil.
At first, she only wants to protect the family business and settle scores with her enemies. But whenever she draws close to Song Yi'an, her heart begins to falter.
She once thought of him as nothing more than an inconsequential sworn brother. Only after being reborn does she realize that beneath his quiet exterior lies a deep love for her, one he would die for.
In this life, she wants no sibling bond with him. She only wants to spend her life by his side.
Content note: The story unfolds at a leisurely pace.
