Zhanran lost his parents when he was young, and has been dependent on his brother for as long as he can remember.
The two wandered along with the refugees, snatching land from beggars and stealing from restaurant kitchens, just to survive.
Her brother valued her more than life and death. She had a high fever and he knelt down to beg for help. She was caught stealing buns and his left arm was broken to protect her.
"It's pretty cool, brother, it doesn't hurt."
The young man looked pale and wiped her crying face with a smile.
At that time, she secretly made up her mind to stand out in the future, and no one would dare to bully the two siblings.

But before that day came, her brother's family came first and took him back.
"Manman, I will definitely come back to find you." He said.
Zhan Ran loosened his sleeves and watched him get on the exquisite carriage. It had been six years since they had said goodbye.
He didn't come back to find her.
She hoped he would live well, but she also hated him for his betrayal.
Later, she was appreciated by the princess and became the female historian of the princess's palace. At a beauty banquet, she met the second son of the prime minister's family.
Those familiar features made her feel like she was seeing an old friend, but she knew very well that it was not him.
Zhanran put down the bamboo slips and thought about it.

Few people know that Mei Jiaping, the eldest son who is now the Prime Minister, once lived abroad for several years when he was young.
One day, someone complained to him, saying that Mei Jiahe had been tired of her studies recently, was absent-minded, and kept running out of the house.
Since he is his younger brother, he has to take care of him.
Mei Jiaping looked for an opportunity and followed Mei Jiahe's carriage out of the city. He saw his brother and a woman holding hands and expressing their feelings under the magnolia tree.
He looked at it with cold eyes, not to mention shocked and angry, until he got closer, and the woman raised her eyes and looked over -
Calm, alienated, and suddenly strange.
Mei Jiaping's eyes were almost splitting.
His sister, who has never been heard from, and his brother, whom he doesn't care much about, are obviously in love with each other.
The string in Mei Jiaping's heart suddenly broke.
He won't allow this to happen.

In the remote courtyard, it was raining and windy.
The usually well-behaved young man could not hide his jealous look, holding the girl tightly in his arms, his sanity crumbling.
"Manman, are you doing this to take revenge on me?"
"Brother, why did you say this?"
The girl was neither humble nor arrogant. She raised her chin stubbornly and seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"You are Jiahe's brother. We will be a family in the future. How can we talk about revenge?"
Mei Jiaping's hands suddenly had blue veins, and his eyes were dark.
"Manman, you and I are family."
"Brother is joking."
Zhanran struggled and pushed him away to leave.
Mei Jiaping pinched her cheeks without any explanation, leaned over and kissed her.
*
"Manman, you don't keep your word."
Mei Jiaping held her hand and stopped her steps.
The girl smiled.
"Believe your word? It's just that you are better than your master. You rely on your brother's luck."
