Pseudo-incest | Reunited after years apart | Uneducated border trader x adorable girl from a family of scholars
The hardest thing Duan Yunchuan ever did was send his foster sister back to the Qin family.
Her grandparents, eyes red with grief, shouted, "You brought back a little beast, but what about my daughter? The police only gave us a box of ashes!"
Duan Yunchuan kowtowed until his forehead was bloody, taking responsibility for the crimes committed by people from his village. Only then did the elderly couple agree to take in Jiao Jiao.
"From now on, you are never to have anything to do with her again, you human traffickers!"
Those words echoed in Duan Yunchuan's mind for ten years.
Ten years later, the orphan who had been unable to care for his little sister had become a jade merchant. He had survived being hit by bullets in Myanmar twice.
Suddenly, he began to miss Qin Jiao.
No, the truth was that he had always missed her: the little sister he had dropped out of school at seventeen to support, even if it meant collecting bottles and cans.
Ever since he persuaded the old lady to soften and allow them to meet again, Duan Yunchuan had eagerly wondered how Qin Jiao would react when she saw him.
Unfortunately, that day, all he saw was her back.

When Qin Jiao first arrived at the Qin family home, she thought her brother had sold her to "rich people," and cried day and night for a long time.
Later, after hearing what the elderly couple told her, she believed her brother had abandoned her. Love and hate tangled in her heart for ten years, and Qin Jiao did not want to face him.
It was only after she moved into Duan Yunchuan's house, saw his old class photo where he was forever seventeen, and noticed the bullet wounds in his body that had never healed smooth, that Qin Jiao understood:
She had been too heavy a burden for her brother to bear, so he had been forced to "abandon" her.
Note:
1. Her brother dropped out of school at seventeen and never went back. He served in the military, but he really is uneducated. He earned his money through sheer hard work.
2. The adorable girl is bold and affectionate, and loves to cling to people.
3. This will most likely be an extremely sweet romance.
Theme: A burden too heavy for life to bear.
