Wu Yingwan moved into the Lin household as the prospective fiancée.

Her fiancé, whom she had never met, had been in a serious car accident not long before, leaving both his legs disabled.

The Lin family's eldest son, once refined and elegant, had become cold, gloomy, and moody. No one dared go near him.

He warned her:

Don't even think about marrying him.

Don't touch his wheelchair or his disabled legs. Not even once.

Don't come within 50 centimeters of him.

Wu Yingwan's eyes reddened. Crouching on the floor, she stretched her arm as far as she could, just managing to lay a blanket over his disabled legs while staying beyond the 50-centimeter line.

Like a frightened rabbit, she tried to please her new master, obedient but clumsy. "I knitted this myself... It's cold, so make sure to keep warm."

Lin Chengchu stared at the crown of her head without blinking.

His fingers gripped the wheelchair so tightly that their tips turned white.

"Who wants to touch his disabled legs?"

With a scoff, Wu Yingwan tapped the heel of her stiletto against Lin Hanshi's knee, then deliberately ground it against him twice.

He was sitting cross-legged on the carpet, painting a picture for her.

Wu Yingwan simply snatched away his painting, took off her shoes, and stepped onto his thigh. Smiling sweetly, she coaxed him, "Good boy. What are you going to do now?"

This was Lin Chengchu's twin younger brother, the Lin family's second son.

After a serious childhood illness, he had become taciturn and withdrawn. The old master disliked him, and he had lived alone elsewhere to recuperate ever since.

Unlike his brother, the younger one wasn't aloof or arrogant, acting as if even the slightest touch were forbidden.

He suffered from skin hunger and loved cuddling up to Wu Yingwan, burying his face in the hollow of her shoulder to breathe in her scent. He wished he could cling to her all the time.

Every time they met, he was like a puppy waiting for a treat, wagging his tail wildly at her.

Wu Yingwan never overthought things.

Her happy days, with both a fiancé and a boyfriend, lasted until one day.

By chance, she saw the Lin family's eldest son at a sanatorium. He had been in a vegetative state for several months.

If that was the real eldest son, then who was the man at the Lin household...?

*

The aloof, disabled older brother and the brooding puppy younger brother were both Lin Hanshi, the Lin family's second son.

His real older brother was in a vegetative state, with no telling when he might wake up.

Surrounded by covetous wolves, he had to protect the Lin family, so for the time being, he could only impersonate his disabled older brother.

To stop Wu Yingwan from marrying "his brother," he tried every way he could to ignore and neglect her.

But he never expected that she would still decide to become "his brother's" fiancée.

Even after news of the engagement came out, she never visited him once, and she wouldn't even answer his calls.

Had she decided to cut ties with the real him for good?

Did she not want him anymore?

Would she be with him if he became the real Lin Chengchu?

Dangerous, frenzied, yet perfectly logical thoughts collided again and again in Lin Hanshi's mind.

His unfocused gaze slowly drifted down to his own perfectly good legs...
