She was the only light in his youth.
When he was twelve, Ye Yarou rode her bike in front of him, chased off the thugs, and looped a pink hair tie around his bleeding wrist. “If anyone bullies you, come to your big sister.”
Nan Chen remembered those words for fifteen whole years.
When the youngest financial titan on Wall Street learned that his first love had been pushed down the stairs by her ex-husband, suffered a miscarriage, had her assets stolen by her own mother, and been driven into severe depression and repeated suicide attempts, he gave up his trillion-yuan business empire. He staged a car accident and deliberately broke his own leg, then moved into her home as her “lame neighbor.”
But he never expected the jade pendant engraved with the character “Rou” to be a slow-acting poison, a plot hatched by her own mother and ex-husband.
He walked the knife’s edge between lies and truth, standing alone between her and death.
Starting with a bowl of congee, a pot of succulents, and a sunset, he used his clumsy, steadfast presence to gradually thaw her frozen heart.
She emerged from the depths, rebuilt her career, and reached the pinnacle of her life.
At last, he heard the words he’d been waiting for:
“Little one, you’re the person your big sister has been waiting for.”
Across mountains and seas, he gave everything he had, all for the chance to help her transform and be reborn.
