When An Miao was five, she was hit by a car and could only use a wheelchair for a long time.
From childhood onward, Lou Jinchao washed her clothes and braided her hair. When her legs hurt and she threw a tantrum, smashing a bowl, he even fed her again, one bite at a time.
Lou Jinchao was the older brother her parents had suddenly brought home. He smiled often, stood tall and straight, and had a bright smile like sunshine.
No one indulged her more than Lou Jinchao did.
But An Miao was a little afraid of him.
Lou Jinchao said the outside world was dangerous, and she couldn't go anywhere on her own. Her brother had to accompany her.
If she didn't listen, her brother stopped smiling, and he looked very frightening when he didn't smile.
Most of the time, An Miao's world consisted of a locked room, the unreachable sky outside the window, and...
her brother.

An Miao never thought she would be able to walk like a normal person again, until Lou Jinchao came of age and was recognized by his birth family, the powerful Lou family of Jing City.
Lou Jinchao found the best doctors and cured her legs. At last, she was no longer confined to a small corner of the world.
With her dream of many years finally within reach, An Miao submitted her application to study abroad without asking him first.
Lou Jinchao might not agree.
But she was healthy now, and her brother couldn't control her anymore.
Her brother was just her brother.
The night her acceptance letter arrived, darkness filled the room. Lou Jinchao toyed with the paper and praised her school.
Just as An Miao was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she froze. She watched the letter catch fire, the flames licking up toward Lou Jinchao's eyes. He slowly blew the ashes onto her face.
Smiling, he said, "What should I do? Your big brother regrets it. I really want to break Miao Miao's legs again."

When An Miao was little, she felt guilty and remorseful whenever she lost her temper with Lou Jinchao. He would crouch in front of her wheelchair and cheer her up with little magic tricks. "It's okay. Your big brother was born to be at his little sister's disposal."
Later, when Lou Jinchao crawled out from under her skirt, he licked his lips and said the same thing.
The idea came to me on 2025.12.28, and the blurb was written on 2026.2.6.
Everything has been documented.
* Fake sunny, cheerful guy who is secretly a sinister creep x frail, ethereal, highly intelligent girl
A taste of pseudo-sibling romance. The fourth book in the series. As always, here's the warning: the male lead is very, very, very abnormal. If you can't stand that, don't read it.
They are not registered in the same household.
Theme: Be true inside and out.
