[Hong Kong-style tycoon romance / doting love]
The Liang family, the foremost of Hong Kong City’s three great clans, has stood for a century, shrouded in mystery.
When Meng Shu was eight, her parents died in the line of duty. She was brought into the Liang family estate and became Liang Xu Heng’s nominal adopted sister.
Eleven years older than her, her brother had cool, refined features, spoke little and in a low voice, and could make it hard to breathe even when he was silent. She was afraid of him for a full ten years.
Just after her eighteenth birthday, the elder Liangs passed away one after another. They were the only two left in the vast estate. And from that night on, she had a very, very long dream
In the dream, the stern gaze that had always watched over her began to change whenever it fell on her. One night, she went downstairs for a drink of water and, through a half-open door, saw her usually proper and self-controlled brother holding the intimate clothing she thought she had lost long ago, kissing it softly, his expression both debased and devout.
When she secretly changed her university application to study abroad, hoping to escape him, Liang Xu Heng didn’t get angry in the dream. On the morning he saw her off, he bent down and kissed the corner of her lips, then watched her flee in panic.
Later, she fell in love with a boy in a foreign country. One disaster after another struck his family, and in the end he broke up with her. No one could say for sure whether it had been Liang Xu Heng’s doing.
Later still, she graduated and returned home, only to find a marriage proposal waiting for her. “You’ve been afraid of me ever since you were eight. I know. But you turned around and dared to give your heart to someone else. You dared to cry for him and let him kiss you. You’re afraid of me, yet you’re not afraid to leave me behind. Meng Shu, tell me, is that fair to your brother?”
“If the word ‘brother’ can’t keep you, then what about becoming husband and wife for real?”

It's good-looking, and the secret thoughts of the brother and sister are well written.
Good looking, much bigger and more to come
