Love First, Then Romance | Secretly in Love, Fake Siblings | Real Heir, Fake Heiress | Slightly Stalkerish | Dark, Overprotective Brother
The production wrapped on a rainy day, and Wen Tian didn't get home until after midnight, soaked from the rain.
When she stepped out of the elevator, she saw her former stepbrother, Jin Jiyu, standing outside her rented apartment.
They hadn't seen each other in five years. The man had grown even more mature and composed, but the aristocratic aloofness that seemed to come from his very bones was unchanged.
"Brother..."
Wen Tian's lashes trembled as she instinctively called him by the term that had once brought her so much pain.
As soon as the word left her lips, her throat tightened. A moment later, she remembered how much Jin Jiyu hated being called that. Uneasily, she clenched her thumb, lowered her head, and pressed her lips together.
She still remembered that damp summer night many years ago, when rain was falling. The drunk man crossed the line and pressed her down, his whole being shrouded in gloom, his voice hoarse: "Don't call me your brother. It's disgusting."
At the sound of her voice, Jin Jiyu's sharply defined brows lifted slightly. He looked at her with the same coldness she remembered, a thick intensity in his eyes that she couldn't understand.
"Grandma is critically ill. She wants to see you."
I want to see you, too.

Cool, gentle, and mildly withdrawn × quietly attentive, scheming, and cruel

*Single-couple romance, happy ending, older man by two years.
*The heroine developed mild autism after a high fever as a child, so she can seem a little slow to react. The male lead is ruthless and unpredictable early on, then becomes gentle and fatherly later.
