Wen Cao died at eighteen. When she opened her eyes again, she knew this was no ordinary situation!

Only when she learned she was about to be given to another family did it finally feel real: apparently, plots about being reborn or transmigrating weren't that easy to come by.

But after spending two days as an "outsider," she realized things weren't quite what she'd imagined.

What she imagined life as an "outsider" would be like: endless work, no cute older boys.

What it was actually like: endless fishing, and she could even order other people around to do the work! There were no cute older boys, but her rebellious younger brother seemed pretty good, too.

She thought he'd always just be her little brother. Who could have guessed that when she later wanted to get married, he'd threaten her by whispering in her ear, "Sis, if you dare marry someone else, I'll tell everyone what happened between us!"

As the son of the head of a state-run restaurant, Qiao Jing'an didn't have much to complain about, apart from being sickly as a child. He was fine now, of course. Except for having an "older sister" three years his senior, who had been adopted into the family.

He didn't think much of her, but he had no choice. His mother said his health had improved ever since she came to live with them.

For this "life-saving favor," he treated her a little differently. He couldn't trust her with anything important, and there was nothing unimportant she could do, so he nearly ended up treating her like a lucky charm.

He thought that even if he didn't think much of this lucky charm, as long as he didn't reject her, she'd still be his.

Who would have thought this lucky charm would later want to marry someone else?

There was no way he was letting her marry someone else.

After all, he'd had this older sister to himself for so long. How could he let someone else become her husband?
