After Xin Caiwei's mother remarried, Caiwei fell for her handsome, brilliant stepbrother, Yan Liang. She even thought up some underhanded ways to win him over, but in the end, she couldn't bring herself to go through with them. She gave up, never imagining that someone close to her would play her with the very same scheme. It was used against her and Yan Liang, and, just as expected, her stepbrother harshly humiliated and rejected her.
Xin Caiwei had never suffered such a grievance in her life. Humiliated and furious, she jumped into a lake, but Yan Liang rescued her in time. When she awoke, she seemed perfectly normal. The only difference was that she kept calling Yan Liang "Brother" in the sweetest voice, apparently forgetting everything that had happened between them and treating him just like a real older brother.
Seeing how polite and distant she was, Yan Liang gave her a cold look, swallowed his displeasure, and swept away.
Fine. Very well. Let it be.
Not long after falling into the lake, Xin Caiwei fell for one of Yan Liang's friends. Yan Liang looked at his friend, who spent every day frequenting brothels, and decided he was completely unworthy of her. Xin Caiwei had no choice but to give up.
Later, Xin Caiwei fell for one of Yan Liang's cousins. Seeing that his cousin was timid and dim-witted, Yan Liang made her give up on him too.
The third time... Xin Caiwei figured that if she didn't get engaged soon, she might never marry at all. She didn't want her brother to interfere again, so she went straight to his study and confronted him.
Yan Liang watched as she defended another man. His gentlemanly facade finally crumbled, and he trapped her in his arms. Eyes blazing with fury, he gritted his teeth and said, "You seduced your brother and left me unable to sleep night after night, then forgot all about it. What a cruel heart you have!"
Xin Caiwei was stunned. What? I actually had a thing with my stepbrother?
