Don't Be Lovers [Pseudo-Incest]

[Not Actually Step-Siblings]

Qingwan thinks she’s about to go crazy. She’s fallen for someone she absolutely must not love.

She was slow to learn to speak as a child, and didn’t say her first words until she was four. The first thing she said was his name.

He taught her to read and write, hand over hand. Every day, he braided her hair, cooked for her, took her to school, attended parent-teacher meetings, and signed her tests.

When she got her first period, he was the one who went to the convenience store to buy her sanitary pads, then awkwardly explained menstruation to her.

He was even the person she told when she received love letters...

They were the closest of friends, family, and siblings. They could be anything to each other, except lovers.

She carefully hid her feelings, but when she learned he was about to get married, she finally lost control. She used being drunk as an excuse to force herself on the man who was her brother in name only.

Qingchao couldn’t figure out where he had gone wrong in raising Qingwan.

Even less could he understand how anyone could be so despicable as to fall in love with the younger sister he had raised himself, the girl who had depended on him for more than a decade.

He knew he couldn’t take her drunken loss of control seriously, but he hadn’t pushed her away right away.

If he could, he would rather have died the moment he realized he loved her.

He could be her brother, her father, her teacher.

Anything but her lover.

[Be anything to her, just don’t be her lover.]
