She Who Sails Through the Drowning Waters

A scheming, devoted brother who is an expert at pretending x a sensitive, insecure but resilient younger sister

A self-indulgent fantasy

After Ji Mingyao broke up with her ex-boyfriend, she secretly made arrangements to leave the country without telling anyone, planning to disappear for good. But at the airport, she was intercepted by Su Yize, who had just returned from overseas.

Su Yize stood in front of Ji Mingyao, staring at her coldly.

The moment Ji Mingyao saw him looking so utterly merciless, her legs began to tremble. She knew all too well what was going to happen next.

"Brother, what are you doing here...?"

"Ji Mingyao, you've gotten pretty bold, haven't you? You even dared to run away from home behind my back."

"Looks like you've forgotten how it felt to beg me for mercy."

Su Yize tore up Ji Mingyao's boarding pass and took her home without another word.

The siblings knew perfectly well what happened at the Su family villa that night.

-

Su Yize was born a peerless beauty, high above everyone else.

In the eyes of outsiders, he was always disciplined, courteous, gentle, and generous. But only Su Yize knew that he had never wanted to be Ji Mingyao's good older brother, and had never wanted to be the steady, dignified heir to the Su family.

All Su Yize had ever wanted was Ji Mingyao. The most outrageous thing he had ever done was fall in love with the girl he had raised himself.

By day, Su Yize was gentle and considerate. By night, he became a vampire belonging to his little sister alone.

Su Yize kissed away the tears on her collarbone and said:

"How could I possibly want to be just your brother?"

"Yaoyao, whatever you want me to be to you, that's what I'll be."

"I know you're not a bad girl, Yaoyao, but you still need a little discipline to remember your lesson, don't you?"

"Good girl, baby."
