Fake siblings | Size difference

Unhinged and possessive × gentle, sweet girl

Pei Xunian, heir to the Yu'an Group, is of Chinese-Russian descent, with brown hair, gray eyes, and striking, sharply defined features.

The year he returned to China, his father remarried, and Wen Shi became his sister in name only.

His little sister was clever, pretty, and well-behaved. She loved calling him "Big Brother" in her sweet voice.

Pei Xunian cared where her gaze fell, and hated the eyes that lingered on her.

Unable to sleep late at night, he would picture the girl's sweet smile and remember the lingering fragrance of her skin. Unable to control himself, he brought himself to climax again and again.

His vile, dark thoughts were suddenly laid bare on a rainy summer night.

[Wen Shi, I want you all to myself.]

[Wen Shi, I want to hold you, kiss you, and have you.]

The older man tore off his gentle mask. Madness and obsession surged in his gray eyes as he repeated shocking, outrageous words while the girl looked on in terror.

Wen Shi ran away, believing time and distance could put an end to this twisted relationship once and for all.

Shencheng, on the night of the first snowfall

Wen Shi and Pei Xunian "happened" to meet on a street corner.

The man's gray eyes curved as he smiled tenderly, as though nothing had happened on that rainy summer night not long ago, as though it had all been her imagination.

Until the partition in the back of the Maybach slowly rose, and the man's kisses came down on her in a storm, leaving her unable to catch her breath.

The obsession and madness in his gray eyes were even worse than before. His kisses were passionate and long, and when his fingertips slid toward Wen Shi's leg, she pushed his hand away.

"Looks like my little sister is enjoying this..."

Wen Shi could take no more and slapped him.

The man's fair cheek instantly swelled and reddened. He smiled wickedly and gently kissed Wen Shi's palm. "Are you rewarding me again, little sister? A little harder..."

"I don't mind being lovers in this life, or even in the next."

Xu Jiafu came to the Chen family in Beihuai when she was fifteen.

The Chen family's eldest son, Chen Zhuo, was elegant and striking, with tender eyes, yet gave off an air that warned others to keep their distance.

His exquisite features still made him hard to look at directly.

For four whole years, Xu Jiafu spoke to him fewer than ten times. She respected the icy, aloof man and kept her distance.

Until the snowy night of her nineteenth year. In a bedroom warmed by a fireplace, Xu Jiafu clung to Chen Zhuo and sobbed, biting his shoulder.

"Baby, you won't let go. You like it here too, don't you?"

She saw the man's wild and lewd side.

Their ambiguous relationship went on year after year.

At twenty-three, Xu Jiafu moved to Warsaw and cut off contact with Chen Zhuo without warning.

The first snow in Poland came earlier than in Beihuai. As Xu Jiafu strolled down a street with a male friend, she received an email with a video attachment. When she opened it, she found an intensely intimate, unmentionable recording of herself and Chen Zhuo.

The culprit arrived through the snow, silently putting himself between her and her male friend. He leaned close to her ear and said he missed the taste of "Puff."

That night, their out-of-control game began again. Chen Zhuo smiled with possessive madness. "Xu Jiafu, a man's virtue is the most important thing. You have to take responsibility for me for the rest of your life."
