Childhood friends / six-year age gap
Fake good girl x gentle, scheming power broker
When Gu Yanmian first met Lin Zhi, he was still in a wheelchair. The butler told him she was his younger sister. He watched her coldly, waiting for her to call him "Brother."
She didn't. His so-called younger sister from Suzhou seemed to be mute.
_
Lin Zhi loves her brother more than anyone. She wants to be with him forever and to always know where he is, so she secretly installs cameras wherever he lives.
But her brother seems to have stopped liking her. Why else would he abandon her?
The study door is half open. Standing outside, she hears the butler say, "Young Master, Miss Lin has grown up. What do you think about arranging a marriage between her and the young master of the Xu family?"
A moment later, Lin Zhi hears the man reply in a warm, clear voice, "Arrange it as soon as possible."
Lin Zhi can't understand why her brother would do this. She doesn't like it, not one bit. She starts acting out, refusing to eat or take her medicine, but when her brother finds out, all he says is, "If she won't eat, she's not hungry. When she is, she'll eat."
He really doesn't care about her anymore. She means nothing to him.
Heartbroken, Lin Zhi runs away from home on a rainy night.
She doesn't know that after she leaves, the enormous glass display case in Gu Yanmian's bedroom is smashed to pieces.

On a sunny afternoon, Lin Zhi strolls by the lake, holding flowers and walking hand in hand with her gentle, handsome boyfriend.
When he steps away to take a call, just as she expected, a pair of large hands pulls her into the bamboo grove nearby. The man who has always treated her with gentle warmth now looks at her with a cold expression.
"Zhi, what do you like about him?"
"He'll teach me how to kiss. I like kissing."
"Kissing, is it? I can teach you too. Zhi, I'm definitely a better kisser than he is. Do you want to kiss me?"
Lin Zhi parts her lips slightly, about to refuse, but the next second, the man forcefully covers her mouth with his, overwhelming her senses and swallowing her reason piece by piece.
"Zhi, you can only kiss me."
