All Those Years You Were Late

[Capital's Heiress & Rebellious Young Master]

[Well-Matched Families + Childhood Friends + Rekindled Romance + Angsty Love]

When Song Ning was seven, she met Shen Shi for the first time. He took her hand and called her his little sister.

On her tenth birthday, Song Ning got a promise from a boy that he would marry her when they grew up.

Shen Shi doted on her, spoiled her, stood up for her, and protected her as she grew. Her girlish feelings quietly took root.

At eighteen, Song Ning worked up the courage to confess, only to hear him say, “I only see you as my little sister.”

She buried her feelings deep inside. She stopped calling him “big brother” and stubbornly called him Shen Shi instead.

Then one drunken night, everything began to spiral out of control.

…

Beijing, Changbai Mountain, a Pacific island, Africa, the ends of the earth.

“No one could ever take your place.”
