Liang Jiazhen × Liang Jiazheng
Sunny, wonderfully unbothered puppy of a girl × cold-blooded, controlling, obsessive older brother
"Both have only ever been with each other" "Age gap" "Size difference" "Adoptive siblings"
*Restrained madness, clear-eyed surrender.*
Liang Jiazheng has a younger sister.
Her name is Liang Jiazhen.
She is his first child.
She is his wife.
People who don't know any better are always mistaking Liang Jiazhen and Liang Jiazheng for a couple.
They even compliment them on looking like a married couple.
At times like that, Liang Jiazhen hurriedly denies it three times over, saying that she and Liang Jiazheng are siblings, one of them takes after their mother and the other their father.
Liang Jiazheng holds Liang Jiazhen's hand, his face expressionless as he watches his flustered sister explain. Without saying a word, he tightens his grip on her hand.
They aren't related by blood. The idea that one takes after their mother and the other their father is entirely baseless.
*
Liang Jiazhen and Liang Jiazheng are very close. Once they were adults, they moved out of their family home and began living together.
Liang Jiazheng picks Liang Jiazhen up after work. They have dinner together, and Liang Jiazhen always puts the food she doesn't like onto his plate. Afterward, they walk home side by side. They are family to each other, friends to each other, siblings closer than anyone else.
They are siblings, close enough that everyone thinks they're a couple.
Liang Jiazheng has never wanted, or allowed, a third person to interfere in his life with Liang Jiazhen.
Their life together, with only each other, is perfect.
All Liang Jiazheng has ever wanted is to keep living this way with Liang Jiazhen.
He is possessive when it comes to other people. He only wants to be with Liang Jiazhen.
Whether as her older brother or as her husband.
*
Liang Jiazhen knows that living with Liang Jiazheng as an adult is not normal.
She knows.
Adult siblings are supposed to maintain clear boundaries. They shouldn't live together, hold hands, or hug. That is what a proper relationship should look like.
She knows it's wrong to spend all her time with Liang Jiazheng.
But throughout her long years growing up, Liang Jiazheng was the only person she had.
All she wants is to be with her brother.
Whether as his younger sister or as his wife.
