When Yan Dong was little, he had a big brother, the person he admired most. His big brother was a good person. He comforted Yan Dong when his grandfather called him useless, taught him lessons about life, and let him touch his Five-Star Beads.
Sadly, their brotherly bond lasted only three days. After that, Yan Dong never saw him again, until he transferred to Huiming and met his big brother once more.
He was thrilled, hoping to rekindle their brotherly bond, but then he learned that his big brother was dying and hated being called "big brother."
Yan Dong was stunned. He only dared to watch his big brother from afar and help him with little things.

A new student transfers to Huiming. He's so pretty, with big eyes, long lashes, and even lovely hair. Chu Kai thinks the heavens must have some mercy after all, giving him such a beautiful classmate just before he dies so young.
Chu Kai likes looking at him whenever he can. As he watches, he realizes that this younger classmate seems to like him. He always puts the things the teacher hands out into Chu Kai's desk, stands up for him when people talk about him, and even brings him snacks.
Chu Kai starts thinking the heavens aren't so merciful after all. He'd gladly give up all eighty-one Five-Star Beads if it meant he could be an ordinary couple with Yan Dong.
But he can't. He's going to die soon, and he can't give Yan Dong a future. So when other people give Yan Dong one love letter after another, Chu Kai can only hold it in, until he finally has to go calm down in the little dark room.
Even in the little dark room, just thinking about Yan Dong accepting someone else's confession and dating them is too much for him. He pulls Yan Dong inside.
Reader's guide:
1. The misunderstanding that the male lead is about to die is just a misunderstanding.
2. The male lead is obsessed with his wife. His characterization isn't perfect, so be warned if that bothers you.
3. One-on-one, happy ending, sweet little story.
4. The setup in the blurb was made up on the spot, just to get them together.
5. The previous blurb, "Would You Choose Five Million or Me (ABO)", was hard to write, so I changed it to this one.
