Radiant, spoiled younger sister x deep-thinking older brother
As the eldest daughter of the Ling family, Ling Xiyin had always gotten everything she wanted.
But Shen Zhengyu was the one person who made her hit a wall.
Her older brother was old-fashioned and stern.
Before she realized she was in love with Shen Zhengyu, Ling Xiyin only wanted to avoid him.
To win her brother's heart, Ling Xiyin schemed and plotted, using every trick she could think of.
But Shen Zhengyu was like a stone that would never warm up, always unmoved.
"It defies the natural order and violates human decency."
That was his response to her pursuit of him.
Ling Xiyin had always been spoiled. Whatever trouble she got into, her daddy had always been there to bail her out.
So, after her brother rejected her once again,
Ling Xiyin drugged him, hoping to make the deed a fait accompli.
On a stormy night,
Shen Zhengyu breathed heavily under the drug's effects, his eyes dark.
His palm rested on her waist, the veins on the back of his hand bulging, but in the end, he did nothing.
The next day, her usually gentle older brother lost his temper with her for the first time.
He sternly scolded her for acting recklessly.
"Xiyin, how long are you going to keep acting so willfully?"
"When are you ever going to grow up?"
When Ling Xiyin realized she would never win Shen Zhengyu over, she had no choice but to give up.
She accepted the confession of a boy who had been pursuing her for a long time.
On the eve of her engagement, Shen Zhengyu appeared at her door.
His face was gloomy.
"Ling Xiyin, is your love really so fickle?"
-
Shen Zhengyu knew his little sister all too well.
She was spoiled and willful. She always had to get whatever she wanted.
Her love never lasted.
That doll had only been new to her for a month.
She'd gotten bored of the necklace he brought back from Europe in just two weeks.
So when would she cast him aside like trash?
She treated him as a conquest, no different in essence from the toys she played with for a few days before forgetting about them.
As long as he refused her, she would stay interested in him.
But this time, she had actually given up first and was even preparing to get engaged.
His younger sister's future husband should at least be financially secure, mature, and steady, and able to take good care of her.
But what did that young upstart have to offer?
He could care nothing for so-called moral and ethical principles.
He could be her older brother, and he could also be her lover.
