When Ji Xing turns eighteen, her family tells her she has a childhood betrothal partner.
The other person is thirty-seven, more than twice her age, but her family all say, "Older people know how to take care of you."
In a daze, Ji Xing packs her bags and heads to an unfamiliar city for university, planning to meet her betrothal partner along the way.
On the day they meet, the other woman is sitting in a wheelchair. Her slender, jade-white hands rest casually, and above her elegant neck is a face so beautiful it takes Ji Xing's breath away.
After her brain briefly short-circuits, Ji Xing thinks to herself: A little disability is no big deal. Mom said older people know how to take care of you.
Lu Zhinan has spent ten years at the helm of a corporation, weathering intrigue, schemes, and open conflict.
On the very first day, she learns the truth about the young woman sent to live with her: she is the illegitimate daughter her father had with another woman years ago.
She keeps her composure and plays along. But later, she gradually realizes this girl seems genuinely, almost unbelievably innocent, and only wants to fall in love with her?
Ji Xing falls deeper and deeper into the romance that began with their betrothal, until one day, when she is utterly lost in it, she learns the truth about her birth.
She sits alone, motionless, through the night, until she has no tears left. The next day, she quietly leaves a note: "We're sisters after all... We can't be together anymore."
But then a familiar voice comes over the loudspeaker at the high-speed rail station. The woman's voice is low and commanding: "Ji Xing, who said you could leave?"
In the VIP waiting room, the two kiss until their lipstick is smudged. The older sister, who once ruled the business world and always had the final say, speaks with flushed cheeks and unsteady breaths: "I'm not Lu Xiangdong's daughter. I'm not related to him by blood."
#A story that begins with attraction, turns into a scheme, and ends with both of them falling hard.
#The two are not related by blood and are not registered in the same household.
#The younger one isn't disabled; her leg will recover.
#The younger one dotes on the older one, because, after all, older people know how to take care of you.
