Ripe Berries

[Pure, alluring, and clear-headed innocent girl vs. brooding, composed CEO]

1.

Lin Zhang, heir to a prestigious family, is disciplined, courteous, steady, and mature. For years, he has never been linked to a woman in any scandal. He's like a jade Buddha, free of desire and emotion.

After a banquet, a friend, eager to tease the jade Buddha, handed him a phone with great interest. "Well?"

Lin Zhang turned his head slightly. His refined, distinguished profile cast a shadow across the phone screen.

At his friend's expectant gaze, he looked up at the screen. A girl in a tight, pale-purple camisole and a mask stared back at him, her waist slender.

Just another streamer pushing the limits for clicks.

A secret revulsion rose in his heart. Nothing more than the fact that the red mole on her collarbone resembled his younger sister's.

Lin Zhang looked away and said casually, "Not impressed."

2.

At home, his younger sister seemed not to have expected him back that night.

She came out of the bathroom wrapped only in a white towel. The red mole on her collarbone had turned damp and vivid in the heat and steam.

He watched her for a little too long, until she called to him softly and brought him back to himself.

After that, Lin Zhang kept finding himself returning to that livestream. In a daze, the streamer's figure seemed to overlap with his sister's.

He hated the streamer even more, while secretly despising himself for his own sordid desecration of his sister.

Until one day, he saw the familiar mask in his sister's room.

3.

On a cold, damp night, the windows of the Maybach fogged over.

Lin Zhang stood outside, exhaling smoke rings and waiting for the cigarette in his hand to burn down.

After a moment to collect himself, he opened the car door, got in, and took hold of her wrist. A video played on repeat beside him.

"Is there something you've been hiding from me, little sister?"

His thin lips traced the red mole. In the darkness where no one could see, his voice grew husky. "Shh. I'll know once I've checked."

P.S. Both leads are sexually inexperienced / coercive pursuit / stealing someone else's partner / no blood relation / not a blended family / the blurb is based on the male lead's misunderstanding.
