Spring Tide

[A sharp-tongued but soft-hearted "well-behaved" younger sister x a sinister older brother who knows how to put on an act]

When Zhu Yu was fifteen, she heard that the Wen family had gone bankrupt. She secretly attended their funeral without telling her family, where she met a boy who seemed out of place.

He stood at the edge of the crowd with his head slightly bowed. His delicate, beautiful features were almost cold, and his expression was unnervingly calm. He seemed even more lifeless than the prettiest doll in her display cabinet, completely at odds with the atmosphere around him.

Curious, she asked Miss Wen about the boy's background, but Wen Shengyi answered with rare scorn: He was just an illegitimate son their father had brought home from who-knows-where before he died.

Zhu Yu frowned. Her opinion of him plummeted, but for some reason she still remembered his name: Wen Chi.

After the funeral, she never thought of him again, and life went on as usual.

But not long afterward, her father brought the boy before her. His familiar, delicate face immediately brought back her memories, and this time she heard her father say:

"A-Yu, from today on, this is your older brother."

Zhu Yu stood before him, forced to meet his gaze beneath his shadow, and couldn't stop shivering.

She thought she hated this person standing before her.

Hated him very much.
