Sweet and naive older sister x gloomy, twisted younger brother [older woman-younger man romance, four-year age gap]
Lu Fang was thirteen when he was brought to the Shi family. The little guy was like a hedgehog, hostile toward everyone. Only Shi Shu ignored his sour expression and sarcastic, contrary remarks, warming and accepting him like a real older sister.
When classmates mocked Lu Fang, saying he was a jinx who had killed his parents, he swung his fists at them. Back home, Shi Shu disinfected his wounds and comforted him gently. "Xiao Fang, good things are waiting for you. Don't bother with them."
As it turned out, good things really were waiting for Lu Fang.
The nearly seventy-year-old head of the Lu family personally came to take away his only legitimate grandson. The night before he left, Lu Fang ran to Shi Shu's school through the pouring rain to confess his feelings.
She turned him down.
Dating meant kissing, cuddling, and doing intimate things. A younger brother could only be a younger brother, Shi Shu thought.

For Shi Shu, twenty-seven was a turning point.
Her company went bankrupt, her father died unexpectedly, and debt collectors came knocking. The pampered princess fell from the clouds. Her "younger brother," who had been out of touch for years, appeared out of nowhere and reached out to her when she was at the end of her rope.
"Sis, this is the world's rarest red diamond. Only you are worthy of it."
Shi Shu: Wow, it's beautiful.
"Sis, this is Almas caviar, flown in this morning. Want to try some?"
Shi Shu: Mmm, that's delicious.
"Sis, wouldn't a bed with solid-gold posts and chains studded with multicolored gems be more romantic?"
Shi Shu: ...You think I'm going to believe that?
People in their circle were divided in their opinions of Lu Fang. Some called him refined and elegant, peerlessly handsome. Others said he was a hypocrite, cold-faced and hard-hearted, a complete madman.
Lu Fang didn't care.
He loved only Shi Shu. How much? Even if she had nothing, she would still be the treasure he cherished and held in the palm of his hand.
