* The warm, radiant girl-next-door × the obsessive, world-weary man in power who lives for love
A hint of foster-family romance, seemingly forbidden but truly devoted for life.
The hero is four years older than the heroine. Both are virgins, with a happy ending: reborn, unrequited love fulfilled, and love rewarded at last.
* During the summer break when she was fifteen, Su Zhen and her older sister stayed with the Ning family along with their parents.
Ning Xiao, the nineteen-year-old eldest son of the richest man in the country, looked down at her with contempt. “The thing I hate most in this life is sisters who are close.”
But later, the man who had been tangled up with her in an ambiguous relationship turned around and married her sister.
Su Zhen sneered. So much for hating sisters who were close. He just wanted to enjoy having both. The powerful man’s sick little hobby? To hell with it.
* When they first met, Ning Xiao thought the girl in front of him, with her dimples and silly grin for everyone she met, was so innocent she was stupid.
No matter how many times he warned her, she wouldn’t listen. She was even hostile and wary toward him.
But later, the woman who clearly liked him gave him up to a scheming piece of trash. Was he, the richest man in the country, being treated like a plaything?!
He entered a sham marriage, hoping Su Zhen would see her beloved older sister for who she really was. But the damn woman only avoided him even more.
Worse, she was outmaneuvered by a scheming woman and died in a terrible car crash...
* Before she died, Su Zhen saw the man driven mad by obsession. After dealing with his wife and children, he held her “body” and followed her into death.
The normally taciturn man in power spoke more than he ever had in his life. Every word overflowed with boundless love and longing for her.
What a lunatic...
* Reborn into another life, she would stop the tragedy from happening. She would keep her sister away from Ning Xiao and put an end to all three of their suffering at its source.
But as she paid “too much” attention to her sister and the younger Ning Xiao, Su Zhen began to notice the little things her sister had done to get close to him, and how Ning Xiao had never hidden his preference and concern for her.
Eventually, she discovered that her sister had even been behind her studying abroad in her previous life, and the car accident involving her and her parents...
When she was harassed and bullied at school, and carried to the infirmary when she fell ill, she’d thought her “beloved” sister had stood up for her. But it had all been Ning Xiao...
* Back on the night she received her university acceptance letter, Ning Xiao, who in her previous life had been accused of assaulting her sister, now had her pinned against the door, holding her fast. On the other side, her family chatted cheerfully.
“Zhenzhen, say my name...”
“I wouldn’t dare, Mr. Ning! Young! Master!”
“Dear Zhenzhen, I was wrong back then. I was sick. Please...”
“...” There are people right outside!
So much for a successful rebirth! That’s it?!
