[Mutually Devoted + Fake Uncle and Niece + Bittersweet Longing + Tormented Romance]
The eldest branch of the Fu family had an adopted daughter. On the day of the matriarch's fiftieth birthday, their fifth son, Fu Motian, rescued her from the outskirts of Linjiang City. From then on, Fu Motian became her little uncle.
Though the little girl had been frightened and couldn't remember her past, she carried herself with the poise of a noblewoman. She also picked up the Fu family's businesses and accounts with ease.
When Qingyun was little, she was very timid and would only go to Fu Motian at night.
Fu Motian earned the name "Half the City Fu" at the age of twenty.
Wherever he set foot, half the city's shops and businesses were in his hands.
When Qingyun was fourteen, Fu Motian gave her a crane.
Everyone knew that cranes chose only one mate for life. So he quietly hid the feelings he couldn't voice inside that crane.
But on the day of her coming-of-age ceremony, the Xie family arrived with a houseful of betrothal gifts to ask for her hand.
They had depended on each other since childhood. He watched her grow up, concealing his deep affection and carefully protecting her so she could live in peace year after year.
Everyone said he cared for his younger relative out of kindness. Only he knew that his feelings had long since crossed the boundaries of their relationship.
