In the summer of 2012, six-year-old Xia Zhi was adopted from the welfare home by the Fu family and met 12-year-old Fu Sinian for the first time.
For twelve years in Lincheng, he personally protected the timid little girl who lacked love and grew up, blocked her from gossips about her adoption status, stayed by her bedside every thundering night, and took care of all her grievances and problems from childhood to adulthood. In the eyes of outsiders, he is an impeccable, gentle and reliable brother.
But only Fu Sinian knew that the years of care had already crossed the line between brother and sister.
He would be jealous of the young man who was close to Xia Zhi, and he would be greedy for her to be completely dependent on him. He would be trapped between love and guilt every day, deliberately alienating her, but in the end he could not bear to let her go.
From beginning to end, there was only one Fu Sinian in Xia Zhi's world.
It was only after she entered adolescence that she suddenly realized that the dependence engraved in her bones and blood was never family affection, but a secret love hidden deep in her heart that she dared not see the light of day. The harmonious and gentle family and the adoptive parents who treated her well became the heaviest shackles trapping the two of them.
In 2021, there was a heavy rain in the mountains, and the two were trapped in a wooden house alone for a night. The relationship that had been suppressed for many years completely collapsed, and all the pretense was broken with a kiss.
Without the bond of blood, they can only play the role of well-behaved brother and sister in front of others, and secretly hide all their feelings in private.
Until 2024, when Xia Zhi's adult college entrance examination is over, Fu Sinian doesn't want her to live in the shadows and fall in love anymore.
With twelve years of long-term and tolerant preference, he confessed all his thoughts to his parents, crossed the barrier between worldliness and status, and gave all the tenderness he had hidden throughout his youth to her.
Purpose: To tell the story of a pair of unrelated brothers and sisters who have been together for twelve years and run in both directions. It explores the restrained and forbearing love of young people, cherishes the warm and harmonious family affection, and adheres to the long-term relationship that is sincere and pure and not afraid of worldly views.
