Bittersweet, coercive romance with a sweet payoff / Faux siblings reunited / Healing and redemption / Boyfriend with big-brother vibes

At twelve, Jiang Tangning learned she wasn’t actually a rich heiress.

The splendor of her former life was like a dream that had come and gone. She was forced to return to the poor little city where her biological parents lived.

Jiang Tangning threw herself into her studies, hoping to numb herself with a busy life.

After she got into Z University, she was invited to help organize the new student gala, where she saw that familiar figure again.

She saw her brother, the brother she had missed for so many years.

The man’s gaze was dark, and he was as steady as a mountain. The cocky edge of his youth had faded, but he was still elegant and handsome.

Jiang Tangning’s heart gave a sudden leap. She didn’t know whether she should call out to him, but she had already taken a small step in his direction.

But the next moment, she heard a classmate exclaim enviously, “President Lu came all this way just to support his biological sister. They’re so close!”

Jiang Tangning pressed her lips together. It felt as if she’d stepped into thin air and plunged into an unfathomable abyss. Her fantasies were utterly shattered. All these years, they had become worlds apart.

Not long afterward, Jiang Tangning submitted an application to study abroad. She wanted to leave.

But the application ended up in Lu Wenhuan’s hands, and he tore it to shreds.

“I’m not your sister anymore! Why are you still trying to control me, ”

Before Jiang Tangning could finish, Lu Wenhuan grabbed her chin and pinned her forcefully against the wall. As their breaths mingled, Jiang Tangning felt her breath and heartbeat being taken from her completely.

When the kiss finally ended, Lu Wenhuan was still gripping her hand tightly as he said:

“I’m not your brother, and I don’t want to be your brother.”

Ever since childhood, Lu Wenhuan had been regarded as the family’s sole heir. His parents’ marriage was only for appearances, but they kept him on a tight leash. His life was as cold and still as stagnant water.

The only person who ever gave him warmth was his younger sister.

Until he was told she wasn’t his biological sister. From then on, they began a long separation.

Lu Wenhuan missed her so much he was lovesick, dreaming of her over and over and sinking deeper into this hopeless love. No one knew that when he learned they weren’t related by blood, he felt a subtle thrill.

Lu Wenhuan sensed that this wasn’t normal. He seemed to be obsessed, developing feelings he shouldn’t have, but he couldn’t control himself.

The preparations for Z University’s new student gala were a chaotic mess. The lights were dazzling, the room was full of chatter, and Lu Wenhuan had long grown tired of the flattery in his ears.

Figures moved all around him, but Lu Wenhuan spotted his younger sister at once.

She had grown taller, bright and graceful, and thinner.

A possessive certainty filled his eyes.

Lu Wenhuan no longer wanted to suppress his obsession. He would never let his younger sister leave him again. He would keep her locked in his arms forever.

Even if it meant ruin.
