The first time Zhou Yuan met her, his muddled mind held only one thought: He didn't care who it was, and at least this big sister in front of him was pretty. He wouldn't be losing out.

So even after she had her way with him that night, he only blinked back tears and soothed her, saying he was fine.

Later, Zhou Yuan finally managed to climb out of the mire. All he got from her was a casual remark: "We were just having fun. You didn't actually take it seriously, did you?"

Reader's Guide:

1. Inspiration screenshot dated 2024.2.11

2. Please don't make personal attacks against the author.

3. Not updated daily, not a power fantasy with a strong female lead, and has old-school tropes.

4. Both leads are each other's one and only.

5. A standalone story. Any plot threads will be wrapped up.

6. I'll add more if I think of anything.
