Zhong Yuan was the child of a criminal. After Zhong Changlin took her in, the neighbors never stopped gossiping, but she pretended not to hear them and obediently called Zhong Changlin "Dad."
The first time she met Cheng Shi, Zhong Changlin grabbed him by the collar and dragged him inside. Blood trickled from the boy's temple, one eye was swollen purple, and he leaned against the wall and glanced at Zhong Yuan before sneering at Zhong Changlin. "She calls you Dad. Then what am I?"
Cheng Shi was Zhong Changlin's biological son. Zhong Yuan knew he hated her and wished she would disappear from the world.
But when her bloodsucking relatives came looking for her, he stood in front of her and warned them with careless bravado, "If you want to touch her, you'll have to get past me first."
Later, as prejudice and the threat of death swept them along again and again, he always stood in front of her.
The first time Cheng Shi got into a fight because of Zhong Yuan, she asked him, "Why did you help me?"
Cheng Shi stubbornly denied what he really felt. "Before Zhong told me to treat you like my own little sister and look after you."
He never imagined those would become the words he regretted most.
He watched Zhong Yuan walk arm in arm with her suitor, close and affectionate, then introduce him with a smile: "This is my brother."
Cheng Shi finally couldn't take it anymore. One night, he pinned her against a wall. "Who the hell wants to be your brother!"
