Qi Shanshan once transmigrated into the ten-year-old daughter of the Lin family, where she spent eight years as the older sister of Lin Shinan, the future head of the Lin family.
Little Lin Shinan was an outsider being fostered by the Lin family. He hadn’t yet grown into the refined and noble future jewelry tycoon, and spent all day trailing after her, obediently calling her “Sister” this and “Sister” that.
She knew everything about his past. On the night he learned his father had died, she took his hand and promised she would always be his family.
For eight years, they were closer than real siblings, even though they weren’t related by blood.
Besides her, the only person who knew this secret was Ge Jinzhou, the friend she’d made while living as the Lin family’s daughter.
After she and Ge Jinzhou recognized each other, they began a secret relationship and tacitly kept it hidden.
Ge Jinzhou was still a bachelor at thirty. His family threatened to cut off his financial support if he didn’t get married soon.
Ge Jinzhou offered her a hefty sum to pretend to marry him and fool his family.
Less than two days after the marriage announcement went out, both Ge Jinzhou and Lin Shinan ended up in the hospital.
Qi Shanshan brought soup to the hospital and heard Ge Jinzhou and Lin Shinan arguing outside the ward.
Lin Shinan yelled at Ge Jinzhou, “Shameless! You think nobody knows your filthy intentions? My sister would never marry you!”
Ge Jinzhou yelled at Lin Shinan, “Have you no shame? Your sister and I are made for each other. She’s your sister. What are you trying to do?”
Qi Shanshan: ???
When exactly had her identity been exposed???
Mutual healing, with a touch of angst. The female lead is five to seven years older than the male lead and the second male lead in their real ages. Foster-family story.
The guys suffer a bit. Though I don’t really think it counts as angst, personally.
The male lead is healed first, then turns dark. The fact he hasn’t gone crazy is already pretty good.
As for who the male lead is, wait and see how the two characters’ stories unfold.
