[1v1 + 7-Year Age Gap + One-Way Salvation + Coming-of-Age Romance]
During the summer after graduating from high school, Shan Youke is taken home by one of her father's colleagues.
Uncle Fang has a son named Fang Xun, who is seven years older than her. Though only twenty-four, he has already been running the family business for years.
He always approaches words and deeds with self-interest in mind. To him, anyone with no value to exploit is worthless.
Her cousin wears Shan Youke's nightdress, fantasizes over a photo of Fang Xun on Shan Youke's bed, and smashes her father's urn.
With a smile on her face, Shan Youke calmly stabs her cousin twenty-three times.
Fang Xun witnesses the whole thing but says nothing. He simply calls an ambulance and warns her not to call the police.
The perpetrator, Shan Youke, looks pitiful as she cries out, her hands covered in blood: “Brother, I'm scared~”
Fang Xun's perspective.
His father brings home an eighteen-year-old illegitimate daughter. Everyone in the family, except Fang Xun, treats her with all their heart.
Torn and conflicted, he refuses to show her any kindness, but slowly finds himself falling for her, one “brother” at a time.
No matter how gloomy or violent she is, he chooses to cover for her.
Fang Xun: Guys, I have something to say.
Cheng Shaochuan: Go ahead.
Fang Xun: I'm a beast. I've fallen in love with my sister.
I thought there was a follow-up emotional scene, but it turned out to be too open-ended 🤦
