“She is his only weakness, and he is the god she alone can claim.”
When Song Yutian was five, disaster struck the Song family. The little princess who had been doted on became an orphan overnight.
Before the outside world’s gossip could even get going, the Cheng family came to her door.
That day, Mrs. Cheng took her hand and looked at her tenderly. “From now on, Tian Tian, you’ll be the little princess of the Cheng family.”
Little Cheng Ye crouched in front of her, puffed out his chest like a little grown-up, and declared, “From now on, I’m your big brother. I’ll protect you!”
But he had no idea that those words, “big brother,” would keep them bound for more than a decade.
Then came the year she graduated from college.
A young man completely unlike Cheng Ye stood before her, his cheeks flushed as he summoned his courage.
“Song Yutian, I like you. Will you be my girlfriend?”
That night, Song Yutian came home distracted. A low, restrained voice sounded from the darkness.
“Where have you been?”
She looked at the figure on the sofa and called softly, “Big brother.”
Cheng Ye stood up and backed her into a corner, smiling faintly.
“Big brother?”
“But what if I don’t want to be your big brother anymore?”
