After Xia Yifei falls into the water, she unexpectedly awakens to the plot and discovers that her world is a book.
In the book, her father is a scumbag. Before he married, he fathered an illegitimate child with another woman. He then swindled her out of her money and affection, used her up, and kicked her aside, leaving her to waste away and die.
That illegitimate child is the male lead of the book.
The male lead’s story is one of revenge: pitiful and long-suffering in the beginning, utterly ruthless to everyone later on.
Under his direction, the Xia family goes bankrupt, her father is imprisoned, and her mother ends up in a mental hospital.
And Xia Yifei gets fed to the sharks...
To change the plot, the moment she opens her eyes, Xia Yifei decides to find the male lead, who is still a pitiful little boy, and win him over, curry favor with him, and soften his heart with family affection.
Her strategy is simple:
Bring him soup, tuck him in, take care of his daily needs, and shower him with affection.
But one day, after someone has had his way with her, she discovers she picked the wrong person.
Her “brother” isn’t the male lead. He’s the book’s main villain!
Xia Yifei turns deathly pale and flees in the middle of the night.
Jiang Tingxu has just tasted a delicious little treat.
But just as he’s getting hooked, the sweet little treat disappears.
The little sister who used to chase after him, calling him “big brother” every other word, suddenly vanishes from his world.
He tries looking for her, but the person he finds isn’t the right one. She left him a fake name.
Then, one day, at his eldest nephew’s engagement party,
His nephew puts an arm around a familiar figure and introduces her. “Uncle, this is my fiancée.”
Jiang Tingxu finally sees his little shadow again.
Xia Yifei smiles more piteously than she cries. “Hello, Uncle...”
Jiang Tingxu raises an eyebrow. “Uncle?”
He bends down, his thin lips brushing her ear, his voice low and tender:
“Baby, why don’t you call me big brother anymore?”
