Deceived by Day and Night

Liang Sichen and Liang Wan were “siblings” forced together by fate.

When he was in his teens, Liang Sichen was brought into the Liang family by his father and became Liang Wan’s brother in name only. As they spent day after day together, dependence turned to flirtation, and forbidden feelings grew wildly in the eyes of the boy and girl. Then a sudden upheaval tore apart their pretend family: their father died unexpectedly, their mother left for a foreign country, and eighteen-year-old Liang Wan clutched her broken admission letter and severed their bond with an unexplained departure, leaving a hidden wound beneath the moonlight.

Years later, they met again by chance. He was a rising tech tycoon with a sharp edge in the business world, while she had become a top graduate researcher working behind the scenes with code and algorithms. The tenderness of the past returned with a barrage of sharp questions. Beneath his wall of cold indifference lay an obsession that had never healed; as she turned away, pretending to be distant, the tremor in her voice gave her away. When the ethical constraints of being fake siblings collided with a love that had never died, a battle over possession and letting go quietly began again.

“Are you still going to run?” He caught her by the wrist, smiling through the pain in his eyes. “Liang Wan, you and I were never siblings.”
