Zhong Nanli has loved Song Jingming for seven years. When he proposes, she thinks her secret love has finally become reality and that, after all her waiting, she has finally seen the light.
Only later does she learn that Song Jingming loves someone else and has never forgotten his ex. He was with her purely for entertainment.
Zhong Nanli cuts things off cleanly and takes the initiative to walk away from this absurd game of love.
After the breakup, Song Jingming did come after her for a while.
At its worst, he followed her to the foot of her apartment building and spent a winter night waiting in the snow, hoping to make up.
When he finally got through on the phone, Song Jingming was overjoyed: "Nan Nan, you finally answered my call."
But then came an ill-timed soft moan from the other end, followed by a man's hoarse, languid voice: "Sorry, Mr. Song. She's tired and has already gone to sleep."
Zhong Nanli never expected to get involved with Xie Shiyu, either. He was sent to live with her family when he was seven.
Back then, the boy was skin and bones, his dark lashes lowered to hide his mismatched irises. Cold and unruly, he was like a fierce, wary wolf cub.
But after years apart, the boy had grown up. He was now polite and refined, always knowing how far to go, and thoughtful and proper in everything he did.
There was just one thing: he no longer called her Big Sister.
Zhong Nanli felt a vague sense of loss, assuming that their years apart had made them strangers.
She never expected that in a dim room, with not a glimmer of light,
the boy would slowly brush the loose hair from the nape of her neck, his fingertips resting against her pulsing artery, his warm breath skimming her slender neck and raising goosebumps.
Zhong Nanli was in a daze. His voice, caught between boyhood and manhood, was unusually distinctive. His eyes lowered as he pursued her with deliberate cruelty: "Big Sister, hold me tight."
A calculating wolf-dog who carefully lays his plans, using every trick to win her heart.
*Seven-year age gap, no blood relation, both leads are adults.
*The male lead is obsessive and scheming, a dark little puppy.
*Includes male rivalry. The second male lead gets dumped and tries to win her back; the male lead comes out on top.
