From the moment Duan Chengyun impulsively brought home Cheng Nuo, the young master of the Cheng family who was seven years his junior, their fates became irrevocably intertwined.

For over a decade, Duan Chengyun protected his little Nuo as faithfully as ever, giving Cheng Nuo the most attentive care.

And the once frail, quiet boy gradually blossomed under his care, growing cheerful and confident, radiant as a rose beneath the blazing sun.

-

As Cheng Nuo entered his teens, his feelings for Duan Chengyun quietly changed: dependence became longing, and admiration turned to love.

Cheng Nuo carefully hid this forbidden crush, terrified that Duan Chengyun would stop wanting him if he found out...

“Big brother, I’ll always be your little brother.”

Faced with the boy’s words, Duan Chengyun sank into a quagmire, willingly hiding away the heart that couldn’t help but beat for Cheng Nuo.

-

Later, when Cheng Nuo told him he loved him, eyes red with tears, Duan Chengye, who had long since grown accustomed to concealing his feelings, instinctively ran away.

That unconscious act was like a sharp blade, one he wielded himself to wound the rose he had raised.

“You only see me as a child.”

“Xiao Nuo, I’m sorry…”

-

An older man and a stubborn young man: love born of time, and a fixation that never lets go.
