(Brothers stealing each other's girlfriends + groveling to win her back + both leads are each other's first and only)
[Mature older male lead × adorable, sweet, and secretly clever female lead]
Not a strong female lead, but absolutely a story centered on her!!!
Shen Yuening is an actress whose brilliant acting fooled everyone. She pursued Jiang Zexi for three whole months, pouring her heart into warming his. Just when they finally got together, she overheard a recording of him talking to his friend:
“It was just for fun. So what if she heard? We can always break up.”
Even more ironic, she and her stepsister fell into a river at the same time. Jiang Zexi pulled his stepsister out without hesitation, not sparing Shen Yuening in the water so much as a glance.
If that was how he felt, then she was done pretending too. She broke up with him and blocked him. They could always break up, after all.
Shen Yuening broke things off on the spot, only to encounter a man even more difficult to deal with than Jiang Zexi.

Huo Silin was the man with all the power in A City: refined, aloof, and untouchable. Yet he lowered his head before her.
No one knew that Huo Silin had had his eye on her for a long time.
Perhaps ever since that dazzling glimpse of her in college, or perhaps after watching his younger brother have her and never truly cherish her.
His guiding principle in life had always been:
Whatever he wanted, he had to get.
If Jiang Zexi didn't cherish her, then Huo Silin would.

Jiang Zexi: “Bro, didn't you hate Yuening? How did you two end up together?”
