In her previous life, Jiang Ci trusted the wrong people and was betrayed by her fiancé and best friend.
The two of them coldly set a trap, killing her parents and framing her older brother, who died a horrible death in prison. Finally, after putting her through endless torment, they left her in the vast snowy night to freeze to death.
After she died, her brother’s closest friend, Qin Lie, rushed over to take care of everything. Just three days later, heartbroken, he passed away and was laid to rest before her grave.
Only at the moment of her death did Jiang Ci learn that this aloof, restrained man, who had always called himself her older brother and protected her, had been secretly in love with her for ten years.
Reborn, she returned to the time before all the tragedies began.
This time, she cast off her naivety. Fueled by hatred, she vowed to take revenge, make every enemy pay, and keep her family safe.
At the same time, she deliberately drew close to Qin Lie, teasing him and testing his feelings.
Qin Lie had long since fallen deeply in love with her, but his position forced him to hold back. He kept insisting that he was merely her older brother and that protecting her was only natural. In secret, though, he grew jealous and quietly gave her all his affection.
He slipped seamlessly into her life, thinking of her in everything and indulging her at every turn. The love he had suppressed for years was about to break through his self-control.
Their days together became a constant, flirtatious push and pull, and their feelings grew ever stronger. In the end, Qin Lie finally lost control, no longer able to restrain the torrent of emotion in his heart.
He held her tight in his arms, his voice low and hoarse with restraint. “Do you know you’re playing with fire?”
A smile danced in Jiang Ci’s eyes as she answered boldly, “I like playing with fire.”
