After a one-sided heartbreak, Ji Yingtang ran into a familiar face on the streets of Hong Kong City.
Jiang Yi was her older brother, her moonlight, and the person she secretly loved but didn't dare confess to.
Xie Wang was nothing like Jiang Yi, apart from having the same face.
The youngest power broker in Hong Kong City, arrogant and untamed. Rumor had it that he changed girlfriends one after another, and none lasted longer than three months.
As it happened, Ji Yingtang had four months off.
She thought: What if I'm simply attracted to his face?
At first, nobody thought Ji Yingtang could pull it off.
Later, everyone thought Xie Wang was just caught up in the novelty and was fooling around. Before long, he would grow tired of her.
Ji Yingtang herself included.
So when her vacation ended, she returned to the capital alone and went back to being Jiang Yi's well-behaved little sister, as if nothing had ever happened.
But Ji Yingtang never expected, first, that Xie Wang would go so far as to chase her all the way to the capital; and second...
That Xie Wang was Jiang Yi's half-brother.

Xie Wang was used to being a substitute. Once was an accident; twice made him a pro.
"You said you like someone, but the boyfriend spot is still open, right?"
"If it's going to stay empty, why not consider me?"
"You can keep liking him. If he says yes someday, you can dump me then. I promise I won't pester you... Doesn't that sound good?"
His words were polite, but his hands had no intention of letting go.
Compared to self-respect, the kind of thing even a dog wouldn't want after it's been thrown on the ground, he needed his girlfriend's love more.
If he couldn't get love, then lots of kisses would do.
His stolen kisses in private grew more and more daring. Afraid someone would find out, Ji Yingtang thought it was time to start planning her escape.
Unexpectedly, the moment she opened the door, she saw Jiang Yi standing there. No telling how long he'd been watching.
But he was Jiang Yi, the gracious and gentle Jiang Yi who indulged her as a little sister. Surely this time, too, he'd kindly pretend he hadn't seen anything?
Ji Yingtang lowered her head and tried to slip away quietly.
But as she passed him, Jiang Yi suddenly spoke.
"Next time, tell Xie Wang to remember to close the door first."
Looking at Ji Yingtang's swollen lips, he spoke calmly, as if he had gone mad.
"But Tangtang, if he can have you, why can't I?"
-
Ji Yingtang never expected, third, that Xie Wang wouldn't be the only one to go mad.
