Foster Care / Fake Siblings / The Powerful One Bows
At seven, after her family fell on hard times, Tang Yiyi had no choice but to live under the same roof as the spoiled rich kid Fu Yuan.
He was seven years older than her, badly behaved, and from a wealthy family.
She was an outsider, gentle yet stubborn, always watching people’s expressions.
To win him over, she sweetly called him "Gege" at every turn, but Fu Yuan hated it when she called him that most of all.
At a family gathering, he tipped his wineglass and sneered, "I don't have a sister like you."
1.
In her sophomore year of high school, Tang Yiyi grew close to a boy. One of Fu Yuan's friends saw them and took a picture, then sent it to him. The next second, the girl received the forwarded image from Fu Yuan:
[Oh? Dating someone?]
Sure enough, after Tang Yiyi chatted with her classmate for just a few minutes, Fu Yuan immediately called to hurry her along: "I'm at the gate. Get over here."
A chill ran down the girl's back.
In the car, the man glanced at her and smiled inscrutably. "What were you talking about for half an hour?"
Tang Yiyi's eyes glistened with tears as she retorted sulkily, "That's none of your business."
Fu Yuan smiled faintly.
Tsk. The little girl had grown up.
"Talking back to me now?"
2.
Things took a turn when she turned eighteen.
At her grand birthday party, he lit the candles for her and personally placed a birthday hat on her head.
The candlelight glowed gently in his eyes. "Happy birthday, Yiyi."
That night, he had his first kiss, because he kissed the woman he loved.
Later, to make her dream come true, the girl specially applied to study geological surveying.
The mountains were especially quiet beneath the heavy snow, and the stars shimmered overhead.
Amid the wind and snow, the man knocked on her door. The freezing wind howled, but his embrace was warm. "Yiyi, come home with me."
Resisting his embrace, Tang Yiyi sniffed, her eyes red. "I don't have a home."
Those were Fu Yuan's words, deeply lodged in her heart, leaving a crack behind.
"I love you. Come home with me, okay?"
Falling in love with you was Gege's mistake. I'll spend the rest of my life making it right.
Love is a live volcano buried beneath heavy snow: restrained, surging beneath the surface, and fierce.
Tip: 1. Both leads are each other's first and only partner; some non-consensual elements.
2. The male lead is sharp-tongued but not truly bad in the beginning, then humbly pursues his wife later.
3. A truth-revealing twist.
