A cold-faced, unhinged, gloomy heroine x a hapless hero who thinks the lunatic is secretly in love with him, successfully talks himself into believing it, then discovers she is his older sister
Heroine's perspective:
The first time Jiang Lai saw her mother was when she was a child, in a fashion magazine.
The woman who had abandoned her was now holding a boy in her arms, smiling blissfully.
Jiang Lai cut out the photo and hid it inside her phone case, a constant reminder not to forgive her.
From then on, this half-brother became the thorn in her side.
She scoured the internet for every trace of him, read every post on his Weibo, every book he had marked, listened to every song he had saved, learned every name in his social circle, and came to know everything about him inside and out.
Five years later, she decided to hide her identity and move into his home.
Hero's perspective:
In his second year of high school, a girl moved in with Lu Shi's family.
She was beautiful, quiet, and never smiled. Her grades were so good that she left everyone else in the dust. She was distant and polite to everyone, but never once gave him a friendly look.
He thought she disliked rich young masters like him, who had been spoiled all their lives.
Until one day, he discovered that she had hidden something inside her phone case:
A photo of him as a child.
* Complete manuscript ready. Scheduled to open in December (2026.10.22)
