Blurb:
Jiang Wan was abandoned at the entrance to an orphanage by her biological parents the day she was born.
Due to policy restrictions, she spent the first six years of her life in foster care.
They were so good to her that for many years afterward, she still woke from dreams of the day they parted.
In her dreams, she clung to her foster mother's leg and wouldn't let go, while a little boy nearby cried and cried.
Not long after she returned to the orphanage, another respectable family formally adopted her.
Her friends envied her good fortune, unaware that the darkest period of her life was only just beginning.
After sixteen years, she finally grew into the black swan of the ballet world.
As soon as she graduated from university, she cut off all contact with them.
To support herself, she worked all kinds of jobs.
The one thing she never did again was dance.
Becoming a social media blogger was pure coincidence.
Because of what she'd gone through as a child, she desperately wanted to chat aimlessly with strangers.
In that make-believe world, she could receive plenty of love for no reason, without having to truly give her heart in return.
One day, a strange guy showed up in her livestream and started showering her with virtual Super Chats without saying a word.
She might be greedy, but she hadn't quite lost her reason.
She would rather owe one yuan to ten thousand people than owe ten thousand yuan to any one person.
So, though it pained her, she took the initiative and sent him a private message.
[Stop sending gifts. I don't meet people offline.]
[Take a good look at who I am!]
He seemed angry and sent her a photo outright.
The little cafe in the photo was dimly lit, but the man seemed to have a light all to himself.
Her resolve crumbled at once, and two sweet dimples appeared on her face.
[Actually, meeting up might be okay.]
[I'm Yuchi Jing!]
[Yuchi Jing? Do we know each other?]
Oh, so he was her brother.
Only later did she learn that, counting from the day they'd parted, he'd spent a full sixteen years looking for her.
The first thing he said when they met was, "Your big brother is here to protect you."
The warmth of the Yuchi family was something she craved, but she couldn't find a reason to stay there forever.
Until one day, Yuchi Jing came down the stairs, fastening his shirt cufflinks, and accidentally caught her eye.
Everything was just right.
Twenty months later, the time had finally come to close the net.
That night, rain poured down in torrents.
She curled her lips into a smile and quietly went upstairs.
It was true that she had been the one to make the first move, but when the moment finally came, her conscience still began to ache.
Wasn't this a little too cruel?
He treated her so well, yet she had only seen him as a ticket in, a ticket into the Yuchi family.
Seeing her hesitate, he looked puzzled, but his breathing was already hot enough to set them both ablaze. "What's wrong?"
"I... can I still call it off?"
His voice hoarse, he pinned her firmly against his knee. "What do you think?"
One ticket in.
