[Sickly Beauty x Bastard]
[Important: The female lead is in poor health and genuinely ill. She's fragile and cries easily. If that's not your thing, please proceed with caution.]
At the end-of-term showcase, the stage performance shared by Shu Yao and campus heartthrob Song Xingzhou drew a lot of attention. When it ended, Song Xingzhou hugged her.
The audience cheered, but Shu Yao nervously glanced at the fire exit not far away.
Her bodyguard, assigned to her by Ming Ting, was standing there.
On the way home, she told the bodyguard, "It was just a performance. Hugging afterward is polite. My brother has plenty to deal with in Hong Kong, so there's no need to bother him with these little things."
The bodyguard replied expressionlessly, "Understood, Miss Shu."
She woke from a dream in the middle of the night and caught a familiar scent. Sitting up, she found herself face-to-face with Ming Ting's calm, chilly eyes.
"Brother?" She pressed a hand to her pounding heart and asked timidly, "Why are you back?"
The man sitting back on the sofa tugged at his tie, his Adam's apple bobbing. "Have you realized your mistake?"
Shu Yao quickly lowered her eyes. "I was wrong."
"Good." The man before her spoke in a low voice. "Come here."
Later, when Shu Yao tried to bring her boyfriend home, Ming Ting intercepted her halfway.
In the cramped back seat of the car, Ming Ting gripped her slender neck and demanded, "If he's your boyfriend, what am I?"
[1] The apple here refers to its meaning in the Bible: the forbidden fruit.
[2] The female lead lives under someone else's roof and has no blood relation to the male lead. She was not adopted, they are not on the same household register, and they are only siblings in feeling before she comes of age.
[3] The female lead is only nineteen even at the end of the story. Her spoiled rich-girl temperament comes from the male lead doting on her, so please be a little more patient with her. Thank you.
[4] Slow burn, with some coercive scenes. The male lead loves her from beginning to end.
[5] For readers who dislike flashbacks, I recommend reading in this order: fix you//more than I can say//make me wanna die//adore you. The enchanted section is an extra about the parents.
[6] Please don't impulsively buy the entire book. If it's not for you, stop reading in time.

Core theme: Love has no limits
"When she was in his arms and taking pictures with him, he had an extremely strong urge to kiss him." Brother, your love is grand and restrained.
I really like the character of Brother Songqing 🤩. I dream that there will be a character like Brother Songqing in my future works. I want to see the plot where the ignorant sister teases the brother without knowing it, and the brother falls into step by step hahaha 🐰 🐰. Thank you for bringing us this work [cover your face and peek] 🤩.
Woohoo, watch it again. The more restrained Guan Songqing is, the more she feels sorry for him 😭 If he is more despicable, he can justifiably hate him 😭
Can't we really have both? 😭
At this moment, a certain staunch 1v1 party is shaken 🥺
Big, big, big, can you write some extra stories about the shy daily life of the younger sister and her brother after they get married (what about bondage, small games, QQN clothes, role-playing). I want to read it. It's so delicious to write meaty words in big letters. Ps: Be sure to read my review of this book that has won millions of dollars.
In fact, I think the gentle Brother Guan is quite good.
What I like most about this article is that there are no cluttered supporting actresses. I like this kind of setting where two people love each other deeply, and no one can live without the other. They go through difficulties together and never leave.
Guan Songqing's portrayal is really good
It's great. I like this story very much.
