As the Older Sister, How Should I Turn Down Your Love?

When Qiao Zhiyao was ten, her mother remarried. Her stepfather was a wealthy man who had divorced his ex-wife because of problems involving their children. According to her mother, her stepfather had twins, two years younger than her. He and his ex-wife had married for business reasons. His ex-wife had a violent streak and often abused and beat the children when he wasn’t around. After learning the truth, her stepfather divorced her. Her mother also told her to be a good big sister and treat them gently. Qiao Zhiyao listened, nodded obediently, and turned her gaze to her new little brothers. The older boy was staring intently at her, wary, like a fierce little puppy. Bandages were wrapped around him, and he looked rebellious yet fragile. The younger boy was hiding behind his brother. Frail and sickly, he coughed every now and then, looking listless and world-weary, his eyes cold. Qiao Zhiyao carefully gathered the two battered children into her arms and gave them a kind smile. “My name is Qiao Zhiyao. From today on, I’m your big sister.” * Yan Cheng and Yan Jing were twins. The older brother, Yan Cheng, was arrogant and brash, and never held back in a fight. He was a notorious little tyrant at Seventh High School, with a fearsome reputation. He did as he pleased, and no one dared cross him. The younger brother, Yan Jing, had the face of a model student but a nasty personality. He always seemed lazy and laid-back, yet he was a master at manipulating people. Cold and ruthless, he commanded great respect among the delinquent boys. But surprisingly, the twins were both excellent students, so much so that even their homeroom teacher couldn’t believe it. Even more astonishing, these two prickly brothers did whatever their big sister told them. Around outsiders, they were cold, ferocious beasts who kept everyone at arm’s length and showed no mercy. Around their big sister, they were obedient big cats, complete with coaxing, cuddling, and asking for praise. Qiao Zhiyao gently patted her little brothers on the head. “How’s your studying going?” The brothers exchanged a glance. Their usual menace was gone. They narrowed their eyes and smiled like exemplary students. “It’s all thanks to our big sister’s guidance.” * Reading Guide 1. The male lead hasn’t been decided.
