His elder brother died, leaving behind a fiancée he had never married.
Wen Lian was the granddaughter of the old master Jian's comrade-in-arms, who had passed away. She was brought to the Jian family at sixteen, where everyone cherished and protected her. Quiet and gentle by nature, she was also stunningly beautiful. Her innocent looks were touched with the alluring, rich beauty of a red camellia, and she soon became a rising star in the entertainment industry.
After his brother's death, Jian Zhou was summoned home from abroad by an urgent phone call. Waiting for him was not only a funeral, but also his own wedding.
To Wen Lian, who should have become his sister-in-law.
His brother's debt became his to repay. He and the Jian family's true darling registered their marriage. Afterward, the two lived harmoniously under the same roof, keeping out of each other's way and treating one another with respect.

Not long afterward, a film starring Wen Lian premiered in theaters across the country, and the awards banquet sent an invitation to the Jian family as one of its investors.
Because their marriage was secret, the woman's lovely hand rested on his arm for only a moment before she quickly let go. Smiling warmly at the director, she introduced him politely: "This is Mr. Jian, my husband's younger brother."
Jian Zhou listened without a word, his teeth slowly grazing the tip of his tongue.
Oh, her husband's younger brother.
How come she hadn't thought of him as her brother-in-law last night?

Everyone knew that the Jian family of the capital had a rebellious youngest son. He paid no attention to the vast family fortune, but made a name for himself as a professional racing driver. He was a daredevil who risked his life at the edge of a precipice.
Before the wedding, Wen Lian received warnings from many of her friends. They said Second Young Master Jian was cold and harsh, and there was no way she could keep him in line.
One day after their wedding, she got drunk at a banquet. Through her haze, she felt someone trying to give her water. When she refused, he chuckled and pulled her onto his lap, coaxing her gently.
Wen Lian suddenly felt terribly wronged. Clinging to his neck, she began to cry softly, calling out the name of the deceased.
The large hand at her waist tightened uncontrollably, making her fall silent in an instant. The man's brows drew together slightly, his eyes dark and unreadable.

Wen Lian still remembered how, not long after he returned, the two of them went to pay their respects at Jian Yu's grave.
It was a rainy, overcast day.
"Careful, sister-in-law. The ground's slippery." He caught her as she nearly fell. His tone was detached, his casual manner edged with an aristocratic coldness.
His constant use of "sister-in-law" was not only a way to define their relationship, but also carried a warning.
A year later, Jian Zhou brought her to the grave again. It was raining then, too.
He lit three incense sticks and casually placed them in the incense burner.
"Brother, your younger brother's wife is pregnant."
"I hope you'll watch over us from the afterlife."
