[Not blood-related siblings, sunny girl x gloomy, unhinged man]
1.
A Li has a wonderful older brother.
Even when jealousy turns his fingertips white, he can keep every emotion hidden. He'll even smile and praise her, until the flames of jealousy burn through his facade and he can't help revealing his obsessive ambition.
They're not related by blood.
But A Li lost her parents when she was young, and he raised her little by little, teaching her manners, propriety, and how to read people's hearts. He even smiled as he patted her head and promised he wouldn't interfere in her love life, saying that as long as A Li was happy, he would be fine with anything.
But A Li made a terrible mistake.
When she was eighteen, A Li wanted to try something new. After doing only a little research, she secretly arranged a meeting with someone through an app and booked a room. She even came up with a flawless lie. But somehow, her brother found out.
A Li was punished.
Her brother said that, so she would learn her lesson, she wasn't allowed to leave the room.
2.
Jiang Yu knew he had feelings for A Li a long time ago.
But A Li was an idiot. She never understood, even after he gave her countless gifts hinting at how he felt.
He could put up with all that.
But he never expected A Li to be bold enough to do something like this on the day she came of age.
As Jiang Yu hurried to the hotel, he kept wondering: Was there something about him that was worse than those random people on the apps?
Why couldn't it be him?
“My poor, ill-fated love, blessed by no one in this world.”
Reader's guide:
1. One-on-one romance, happy ending, four-year age gap. It opens on the day she comes of age, and the romance moves quickly.
2. They are not blood-related (emphasis added), and most of the story takes place after she comes of age. There is some university life, but it all serves the romance between the leads.
