Blurb
Jian You is the third child in her family. Her two older brothers are both successful and happily married, while nothing ever goes right for her. She's nearly thirty and still doesn't have a boyfriend, and her whole clan nags her about getting married every day. Her life is a complete misery.
It's not that nobody's interested in her. She's had someone in her heart since she was seventeen, but she keeps it buried deep and doesn't dare let on. Every day she takes advantage of him, gets handsy, and ruins his chances with other women under the guise of being his best buddy, but she just can't bring herself to confess.

Li Zhe is an only child. He's been aloof since childhood, and although he's very handsome, his solitary nature has kept him single. The only woman in his life is one who insists on treating him like one of the guys. She's so blunt she's even scarier than a stereotypical straight guy. What's worse, he has actually developed... feelings he shouldn't have for this pseudo-brother.
So he lets her do whatever she wants, hoping that one day nobody else will want her, and she'll be left for him.
Two pseudo-brothers, each harboring a secret they can't tell anyone, until one dark and stormy night...
[Mutual pining, a story about two people too proud to admit how they feel.]
