Yun Shi says, "If there's an island in the clouds, then we'll be together."
When she was ten, Yun Shi came to the Cheng family with her aunt. In an unfamiliar place, she could only hide all her prickles and try to make herself invisible.
The only thing she could do was study hard and escape from here.
When she was fifteen, there was no longer any room for her in the Cheng family, so Yun Shi moved into a small house near her school.
She thought it would be her own island.
Yun Shi pushes open the door and tiptoes inside, only to run into Cheng Suiyan, fresh out of the bathroom.
His damp hair drips with water, a few drops sliding past his flushed earlobe and into his collarbone.
Looking farther down, Yun Shi's cheeks turn red. She quickly averts her gaze and murmurs, "Hello, big brother!"
Cheng Suiyan nods, unsurprised by Yun Shi's arrival. After all, he knows everything that's going on in the family.
One person wants to use Yun Shi to lure the Cheng family's eldest grandson into making a mistake.
The other is going along with it, hoping to take the second branch of the family down for good.
Their "living together" is a conspiracy from the start.
Cheng Suiyan has never paid Yun Shi any attention. In his eyes, she's weak and timid, barely even there in the house, and no threat to him at all.
And yet, this very person completely overturns everything he thought he knew...
After the college entrance exams, before Yun Shi can confess her feelings, an unexpected truth hits her like a thunderbolt.
She was a pawn.
A pawn meant to make Cheng Suiyan commit a grave mistake and bear a terrible reputation.
And from the very beginning, he knew exactly what game he was playing.
All the beautiful moments, the happiness, the unspoken sweetness: looking back, they were all sharp blades, cutting into her again and again.
Unable to let herself keep sinking, Yun Shi pretends to agree, then boards a plane to a faraway place at the Cheng family's arrangement.
