Pulse

Ambitious good girl x refined, bookish fake playboy

Mutual pining / pseudo-incest

The Shen siblings are both stunningly beautiful, but their personalities couldn't be more different.

One is Shen Liao, a carefree, laid-back heir who always stands at the center of any crowd. The other is Shen Lili, gentle and reserved, a quiet, obedient girl.

But Shen Liao is hopelessly devoted to his little sister, and that's no secret in their circle.

No matter how ruthless and decisive he is outside, when it comes to his sister, he gives her everything she asks for.

Shen Lili can only laugh at herself over it. Too bad he only sees her as his little sister.

/

At a party, someone jokes that Shen Liao would probably ask his sister's permission before dating anyone.

Everyone laughs, thinking it's an exaggeration.

Shen Lili forces herself to stay calm and says there's no way that's true.

She doesn't know that all night, Shen Liao wears his usual carefree smile while carefully watching her from the corner of his eye.

He's trying to see whether she's laughing indifferently too, whether she also thinks the idea is ridiculous.

/

Then one day, she discovers his secret in the drafts folder of Shen Liao's email and finds a love that has been held back but burns fiercely.

So, in the calmest voice she can manage, she says to Shen Liao, "Brother, let's run away together."

Brother, Your Coffin Has Cracked:

[Vampires + pseudo-incest]

Also known as My Centuries-Old Brother Is Pretending to Be a Hipster Again

My parents went on a trip and said a distant uncle would be staying with us. They told me to make him feel at home.

The distant uncle I remember: refined, elegant, wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

The distant uncle in real life: tattoos, a lip piercing, and a motorcycle helmet.

My uncle's name is Liao Shesheng. My mom told me to call him Uncle, saying he'd held me when I was little.

He's already acting like we're old friends. "Just call me Big Brother. I'm young at heart~"

Fine, Big Brother.

But he's really weird.

For instance, he hardly ever goes out during the day, barely sleeps at night, and sometimes drinks an unidentified blood-red liquid in the kitchen at three in the morning...

It doesn't take long to realize Liao Shesheng isn't human. He's a vampire.

/

One day, Liao Shesheng asks me, "If I told you I'd fallen for you, that I like you, would you think I'm being a shameless old man?"

I look at his absurdly young face and the line of sparkling silver studs in his ear, then answer, "You already are shameless."

"Oh," he says. "Then I'll stop pretending."

I look at him, and he looks at me.

Me: "When was the last time you fell for someone?"

Him: "Several hundred years ago."

Me: "Maybe you should see a cardiologist."

He looks shocked. "...!"

I stare at him. "Brother, I'm joking."

Only later do I learn that the person he fell for several hundred years ago may have been me too.

/

All in all, Liao Shesheng is a vampire, my distant uncle, my older brother, and my boyfriend.

He's also the light that guides me through the storm as I travel by night.

[Deadpan, listless, sarcastic younger sister with a dark sense of humor x trendy, vividly human vampire big shot who keeps up with the times]

The main story is told in third person.

A carefree older man is still an older man, and a shameless older man who takes the lead is still one who takes the lead.
