[A restrained, rule-abiding hidden powerhouse × a sunny little drama queen]
[Secret crush, sweet romance, devoted to each other, happy ending]
After a friend's deception nearly gets her hurt, she is fortunately saved in time by her brother's friend.
At his friend's request, he brings his friend's younger sister home to look after her for a while. Under the same roof, things are lively and fun at first, but eventually they part on bad terms.
At a party, a friend exclaims in shock, “You have a girlfriend?”
He answers frankly, “Don't be ridiculous. She's Yanli's younger sister.”

That summer, she gathers all her courage to confess her feelings, but he rejects her without mercy.
*
Years later, pushed to her limit, she says each word slowly and clearly: “I won't like you anymore. I never want to like you again!”
As they struggle against each other, a sharp slap rings out, and they both freeze.
“Did you just use the self-defense moves I taught you on me?”
“You were the one who grabbed me first.”
*
When Su Yanli, her older brother, unexpectedly learns they're together, he completely loses it. He never imagined that his request to “look after her” would mean handing his friend a shovel to dig right through the load-bearing wall of his own home!
*
Only much later does she learn that he has been there for her all these years.
Only much later does he learn that the young woman is truly an incredible actress!
