[Blurb written on 2024/11/27, revised on 2025/10/31, screenshots saved]
Lu Nanyue was adopted by the Cheng family, who supported her education. Though she now had a career of her own, she offered to spend every weekend at the Cheng home taking care of odd jobs to repay their kindness.
The Cheng family's only son, Cheng Zhifei, was born with every advantage and was praised by everyone as a talented heir.
He was kind, considerate, and polite.
Lu Nanyue always felt she wasn't doing enough. Even after the housekeeper came for the scheduled cleaning, she would personally inspect everything again.
One time, as Lu Nanyue came out of someone else's room after tidying it, she ran into Cheng Zhifei. His gaze darkened as he looked at her.
He simply told her, “From now on, you only need to clean my room.”

The Cheng elders treated Lu Nanyue like their own daughter, and decided to make their bond even closer by informally promising her to Zhou Yu, Cheng Zhifei's cousin.
Lu Nanyue had always been prepared for it. Zhou Yu was easy to get along with, and before long she would marry him and spend the rest of her life with him.
Until one day, when she came home on her day off to tidy Cheng Zhifei's room, he blocked her inside with his family downstairs, chatting away, unaware. He called her by name and said, “Lu Nanyue, give me a chance.”
Lu Nanyue remembered how polite he had been when they first met, how impeccably mannered. He had brought her a cup of hot tea to warm her hands, dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, and called her “older sister” without hesitation.
She didn't know when he had stopped calling her that.
“Stop fooling around. And you should be calling me ‘Older Sister.’” She thought he was only joking.
Cheng Zhifei smiled, took off his glasses, and set them on the table. He leaned in close, looking at Lu Nanyue with exceptional tenderness. “Sorry. I can't call you that anymore. Not since I realized I was in love with you, Older Sister.”
Later, in private, those hands that wiped his lenses would steal kisses from her lips and caress her face.
