Liang Wenxia could never forget her twelfth birthday. Her birth mother, whom she hadn't seen in nine years, brought her to an unfamiliar city, where she gained a father and a handsome, graceful older brother.
She could never forget her fourteenth birthday, either. The older brother who had helped her fit into the rich kids' circle and thoughtfully ordered her a syrup-topped muffin when she felt awkward vanished into the crowd without leaving a single word behind.
Only later did she discover that the boy who seemed so pure and bright was selfish, callous, cold, and cruel by nature. All that gentleness and refinement had been an act. He was the finest actor of them all.

Xie Siyun felt no attachment to this family at all.
When he was sixteen, his charming but cold-hearted father brought a mother and daughter home. Looking at the timid little girl trailing behind them, he had only one thought: give her money and send her away.
Seven years later, they met again. When he saw the girl his business partner had sent to his room, her familiar face before him, he did just one thing: gave her money and sent her away.

Liang Wenxia loved Xie Siyun's eyes.
When she saw them at twelve, they were like flowing water and peach blossoms.
When she saw them at nineteen, they were like snow weighing down a bamboo branch.
Later, amid restless shadows and the haze of wine, she watched those frost-bright eyes fill with passion and desire.
As if playing a prank, she called him "Big Brother," and a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes as he sank into passion.
He didn't want to hear her call him Big Brother, yet he feared that without their sibling bond, she would become a distant star he could never hold on to.

A dark-hearted man pretending to be gentle x a stubborn girl pretending to be meek
A wife-chasing crematorium, and a bloodbath caused by pretending not to know each other
Both pure, each other's only one in body and heart
A brother-and-sister pairing with different household registrations
