[Mutual firsts + soul transmigration and return from the dead + younger man becomes older]
The upper-class social scene is one giant marriage-alliance network. Some people enter alliances willingly, some are trapped by them, some use them for their own gain, and others are forced into childhood betrothals.
Seven years ago, Shen Xingchen was the younger boy Jiang Nian had taken home and raised for twelve years.
After Jiang Nian refused her boyfriend’s proposal, she was pushed into a marriage alliance. Shen Xingchen seized his chance to seduce her and take his place at her side.
But in the year he loved her most, he ran to her in his finest clothes, only to embrace her cold corpse.
Seven years later, Jiang Nian returns in Chu Xinyue’s body.
When she meets Shen Xingchen again, he says, “Your eyes hold a sea of stars, your heart blooms like a garden.”
Those familiar old words are like a secret signal. He takes her home, testing her.
She watches suggestive videos of handsome men and sees people making money by calling viewers “baby.”
“If I livestream and call people ‘big brother,’ could I make money too?”
“Call me big brother, and I’ll give you money to spend...”
He rushes to claim the title of big brother, eager to make her depend on him.
Her younger brother gets jealous and clings to her, wanting to hear her call him big brother too.
Now that his beloved has returned, Shen Xingchen clings to her, stays close, and kisses her.
Her former fiancé faked his deep devotion, had four children with another woman, and still comes clinging back to her.
Her current fiancé works with her to end their childhood engagement, yet keeps asking who she really is and refuses to let the engagement go.
At the club, she counsels a pure-hearted male college student.
Her younger brother comes by to cling to her, too.
Shen Xingchen is fed up. Why are there so many people coveting her?
So he clings to her even more, asking every day when they can register their marriage.
Chu Xinyue is busy sending people to prison, taking over the company, reclaiming the inheritance, and ending her engagement.
Jiang Huai returns to the Jiang family business, while Shen Xingchen takes over the Shen family’s operations. Both come to support her.
Her current fiancé suspects she is someone from the past and punishes those who bullied her.
Her former fiancé sees the shadow of the woman he once knew in her and actively seeks her out, asking to work with her and get closer.
The truth about Jiang Nian’s death is gradually revealed, piece by piece.
