[Not-quite-siblings + forced love + scheming male lead + sweet, gentle heroine + all kinds of devious tricks]
A sweet, gentle girl accidentally enters Gu Mingchuan's life one day.
“Heh, so this is the daughter of the woman who stole someone else's place?”
On her first day at the Gu household, Lin Yue sees a very handsome older brother.
His eyes and brows are striking, his nose is high-bridged, and his jawline is clean and defined. An aloof aura surrounds him.
“Is he going to be my older brother from now on?” She feels inexplicably nervous at first sight of him.
Their fates become intertwined...
“Y-you... let go of me!” Lin Yue's voice trembles, tinged with panic. His warm breath brushes against her neck, sending a tingling sensation through her.
“What a silly woman,” he murmurs, his tone tinged with helplessness and an affection he doesn't even realize he feels.
“Lin Yue, what on earth are you thinking?”
“Lin Yue, you can only look at me. I must be the only one in your heart, too.” He takes a soft rope from the drawer and swiftly, gently ties her hands and feet.
Lin Yue closes her eyes in despair, tears soaking her pillow. “Gu Mingchuan, come to your senses... We're siblings...”
“Siblings?” Gu Mingchuan sits on the edge of the bed and gently strokes Lin Yue's cheek, his fingertips tracing her tear-stained skin.
“I don't want to be just your brother. I want to be the one who protects you for the rest of your life.”
