[The blurb may change before the story starts. A story about a brooding, possessive man stealing his brother's girlfriend for love]
In high school, Shen Yunxi had a crush on Lu Yanci, the top student in her class. He was sunny and carefree, refined and elegant, academically gifted, and a well-known figure around school.
Meanwhile, Shen Yunxi was beautiful as a fairy, cheerful and outgoing, and among the top students herself. To parents, she was the model good girl.
They were a perfect match.
But despite Shen Yunxi's efforts to pursue him, Lu Yanci didn't seem to like her.
At the end of their senior year, Shen Yunxi worked up the courage to confess to Lu Yanci. He didn't accept her right away, but neither did he exactly turn her down.
He said, "If you can get into Nan'en University, I'll be with you."
Nan'en University was the best college in S City.
For Shen Yunxi, meeting the passing score needed to get in wasn't too difficult.

When the new school year began in September, Shen Yunxi successfully got into Nan'en University, the same school as Lu Yanci. He kept his promise and became her boyfriend.
At school, Shen Yunxi met Lu Yanci's former best friend, Ji Shubai, who majored in flight technology. Cool and aloof, with a stern, ascetic air, he was even more handsome than Lu Yanci.
The first time they met, Ji Shubai called her, "Sister-in-law."
The second time, he brought her a bouquet of flowers.
The next time they met, the look Ji Shubai gave her was so scorching that there was no way it could be innocent.

Shen Yunxi thought she and Lu Yanci would be together for a long time, until one night at an alumni gathering, she caught Lu Yanci carrying a drunk girl home behind her back. Shen Yunxi confronted him.
His cold reply was: "Shen Yunxi, let's break up. I agreed to be with you after graduation because everyone in class was egging me on, and I didn't want to embarrass you."
"I never loved you."
That night, Shen Yunxi cried until her eyes were red. Fortunately, Ji Shubai arrived in time to comfort her. He wiped away her tears, held her in his arms, and gently soothed her.
That same night, Ji Shubai asked her tentatively, "Xixi, would you consider me?"
"Consider being with me. Consider giving me a little of your love, even if it's only a little."
Ji Shubai was terribly jealous of Lu Yanci. He had fallen for Shen Yunxi the first time he saw her, but she was Lu Yanci's girlfriend.
Every time they met after that, he gritted his teeth and called her "Sister-in-law," unwillingly forcing the words out.
As he spent more time with her, he fell more and more in love. He stole beautiful photos of her from Lu Yanci's phone, hid them in his album, and even printed them out.
Every night, he fell asleep holding her picture.
Luckily, Lu Yanci broke up with her. Now he had his chance.
