[The first volume is complete. The second volume, featuring a fiery crematorium-style reconciliation and a love-triangle showdown, is now updating. The male lead is making his move!]

On the night of Zhou's mother's birthday, at a banquet attended by friends and family, Zhou Qizheng, who had been quietly drinking all evening, suddenly went wild. He pulled Jiang Ranyin into a dim lounge and pinned her against the door.

"Jiang Ranyin, what do you take me for?"

Jiang Ranyin lowered her eyes and said nothing. Her gaze fell beneath his open collar, where a faint, suggestive red mark on his collarbone had been left by her the night before.

"Just having fun. Why take it seriously?" She smiled and fastened his buttons herself. "Isn't that right, big brother?"

"All right." After a moment's silence, the man grabbed her hand and guided her to undo his buttons one by one again. He smiled like a seductive demon. "Have your fun with me. Anything goes."

Later, amid a sea of starry blue, his good friend smiled brilliantly beneath the spotlights, shining like a star. He answered his fans warmly: "Yes, I've found my crystal candy girl."

In a private VIP room known to no one, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her fiercely.

During a pause for breath, Jiang Ranyin murmured, "He's confessing to me."

"Mm." He let her go and calmly straightened her clothes.

"I want to say yes."

"Then shall we..." His fingertips slowly traced her reddened lips. "Have a little affair?"

-

Jiang Ranyin was fated to meet scumbags, but she never ran into the same tree twice, except for Zhou Qizheng.

That was the only tree that left her battered and bleeding twice.

The first time was a long, hopeless secret crush in her girlhood.

Back then, Zhou Qizheng was a racing prodigy at the height of his fame, poised to claim consecutive championships and utterly invincible.

He said, "You're the only one who gets to ride shotgun."

He said, "I'll give you every medal I win."

He said, "You're just like a little sister..."

The second time is now.

He is still an eagle of the wilderness, never stopping for anyone,

Yet he openly dotes on her alone, his childhood friend and little sister.

For a moment, Jiang Ranyin lost her head, and desire got the better of her...

She thought, she would make him break the rules.

But after their reckless affair, he said he was sorry.

Jiang Ranyin let go without hesitation, as freely as a breeze rushing toward the next range of mountains and seas.

-

Zhou Qizheng had thought that his pride had already shattered the year he gave up racing.

Until he lost Jiang Ranyin.

Drunk at midnight, he called her again and again, pleading with her to stay:

"You're not my sister..."

"I was the one who crossed the line first... I'm the one with something to hide."

"Rairai, can you turn around... and look at me again?"

P.S.

1. They are not actually siblings.

2. Childhood friends reunited after a long separation versus a new arrival with unfinished history; a rivalry among men.

3. Both are each other's only partners. The heroine goes from emotional to physical, while the hero goes from physical to emotional, in the heroine's eyes.

4. The hero starts out as a gentle playboy, then becomes a calculating, clingy schemer. His pursuit of his wife turns into a blazing crematorium-style chase, and he'll go completely crazy for love to steal his brother's girl.
