Fake Siblings / Sweet, Honest Girl vs. Brooding, Obsessive Yandere Man
After her mother remarried, her stepfather turned out to be a renowned business tycoon.
Before stepping into the luxurious mansion with her mother, He Shuyi was repeatedly told to behave, listen, keep her distance from her stepbrother, and never make him angry.
After hearing it so many times, He Shuyi began to imagine her unseen stepbrother as a terrifying figure. She even pictured him cornering her with a gang of lackeys, calling her a country bumpkin and mocking her for being poor and ignorant.
At their first meeting, He Shuyi steeled herself for the worst, fully prepared to face a mean stepbrother.
But on the long staircase, her stepbrother came toward her in a white suit, his smile as warm as a spring breeze.

Her stepbrother never gave her a hard time. He even brought her pretty dresses.
He introduced her to new friends and stood up for her when people bullied her.
Even when she forgot to get him a present for his birthday, he smiled and reassured her that it was all right, despite her disappointment.
When bad people kidnapped her and abandoned her on a deserted island, her stepbrother was the first to find her.
To He Shuyi, her stepbrother was gentle and kind, the best brother in the whole world.

But lately, He Shuyi had been feeling uneasy.
At night, she felt as if someone were watching her as she slept, and she would sometimes wake with unexplained bruises and scrapes.
The milk her stepbrother brought her made her so drowsy that she could never wake up, no matter how strange the noises she heard.
Her mother also seemed anxious all the time, reminding her to keep her distance from her stepbrother.
The day after a boy confessed his feelings for her, he was hospitalized following a car accident.
All these signs left her confused and frightened.

Then, on the day of her coming-of-age ceremony, He Shuyi stood before her stepbrother with her new boyfriend. He smiled gently, looking no different from usual, and said wistfully, “Shuyi has grown up. She wants to fall in love...”
That night, He Shuyi didn't drink the milk her stepbrother brought her.
A scorching kiss threatened to set her ablaze. He Shuyi didn't dare open her eyes. She curled up and pretended to be asleep, but her stepbrother's fingertips traced her lips as he gave her a wicked smile. “Are you sure you don't want to look at your big brother?”
A sweet romance, one-on-one, both leads inexperienced in love. The story focuses on the couple's lovey-dovey romance.
The male lead is a yandere with a possessive streak, a wicked, brooding man who only cares about the female lead. He's good at hiding his true nature, and once exposed, he only gets worse, like a bad dog.
The female lead is a well-behaved, sweet, honest girl. When people bully her, she doesn't dare confront them and can only think of ways to sneak away.
Theme: Love can make people lose their reason, but it can also put a leash on a mad dog.
