[Quirky heroine / domineering, devoted hero, both virgins]
Shi Yao is Shi Jin's older sister, though they share neither parent, and the apple of Shi Yixing and Wen Yu's eyes.
On the eve of Lunar New Year's Eve, the two get into an argument, and Shi Jin accidentally shoves Shi Yao.
Shi Yao falls down the stairs. Her blood stains the gleaming floor.
Shi Jin also gets slapped by her own mother.
Three days later, the housekeeper tells her she's going abroad.
Through the heavy snow, she goes to find Jiang Yubai.
“Will you leave with me?” she begs, looking at him.
But Jiang Yubai asks, “Xiao Jin, shouldn't you ask Shi Yao first?”
Her heart slowly sinks. Everyone chose Shi Yao, just as Shi Yao said they would.
“Shi Jin, you poor thing! You were born because of me. You'll belong to me for the rest of your life!”
