Sharp-tongued, aloof senior disciple sister × flirtatious, scheming peacock
[Younger man] [Mutual crush becomes reality] [Puppy-like younger man and older woman]
Pure romance at first → later, a taste of heartbreak
Lin Nian'er has a condition: whatever she thinks has to come out of her mouth, or her heart rate will soar until she faints.
Her family is a quagmire: a father who treats her as a bargaining chip, a biased mother, a traitorous younger brother, and a mother and daughter who have taken over her home. Every one of them is a piece of work.
During her second year of graduate school, she met someone like him for the first time. He wore a different flamboyant outfit every day and took delight in teasing her. He was as sly as a fox.
He saved her from danger time and time again, whispering softly in her ear again and again. It seemed that, at last, all the tenderness in the world had turned toward her. But then he disappeared, and no matter how hard she looked, she couldn’t find him.
“A fleeting encounter is always punishment for those who take things seriously.”

The Yu family has only one heir, and he is a bird trapped in a cage. Calculation and deceit have long since become second nature to him.
When they meet again, he grips her waist and kisses her hard, his lips moving against hers.
“You used to call me ‘older sister.’ Shouldn’t you be calling me ‘sister-in-law’ now? But don’t worry, there won’t be a day like that…”
