Wealthy family siblings | Wicked little sister x ruthless, taciturn man
After ten years of estrangement, her brother finally returned, but he was still a hurdle Shen Jinhuai couldn't get past.
His resolve never wavered, no matter how much she acted out, threw a fit, or tried to appease him.
“Am I not your sister anymore?”
“There are two kinds of family in this world. The kind you can choose, and the kind you can't. You're the latter, family I don't want but have no choice about.”
She thought they would never have the chance to reconcile in this lifetime.
Heartbroken, she told him she was about to get married and asked him to at least let her have some dignity.
“At least one of my family members should be willing to see me off.” She countered, “Otherwise, wouldn't that be too pitiful?”
He furrowed his brow and fell silent. In the end, all he did was put out his cigarette, weighed down by his thoughts.
“Fine.”

At first, Nie Congzhou intended to keep his word.
Before leaving, he would see her off properly.
Then one morning, he woke up, bare-chested, and picked up his clothes to put them on. He was calmer than he'd expected.
But his sister sat on the edge of the bed, swinging her legs, even more casual than he was. “That was amazing. Thanks for the hospitality.”
She acted as if she'd slept with some random man and didn't care at all. But from that day on, she was cold as ice and refused to call him “Brother” again.

Later.
Hong Kong reporters stopped a stunning couple on the street for a quick interview.
Reporter: “I'll give you twenty thousand Hong Kong dollars if you tell me her biggest secret, but you can't upset her. Three, two, one...”
Nie Congzhou: “She likes sleeping with her brother.”
Shen Jinhuai jumped up and covered his mouth. “Shh!”
Reporter: “Ha ha. How do you know?”
Nie Congzhou: “Because I'm her brother.”
The reporter took another look at them, suddenly struck by how familiar they seemed. “Hey, aren't you the one who...” He was too stunned to finish. The rumor was true!
Tabloids had once spread rumors: the top-tier wealthy siblings of Hong Kong Island, the brother won't marry and the sister won't wed. There's something going on.
As the reporter stared in astonishment, Nie Congzhou smiled faintly. “So only heaven and earth, you, and I know. Help me keep her secret.”
“No one knows their story. Only the moon does.”
1. Beijing and Hong Kong social circles, traditional Chinese families.
2. They aren't registered in the same household. Their romance begins when they're both adults.
A sequel set in the world of Misty Port, but it can be read on its own.
