Good news: Yu Ning's dad is dead.
Bad news: Even in death, the old bastard left her with a brat to drag around.
To get her mother's keepsakes, Yu Ning is forced to take custody of the little burden. But that's fine: as long as she keeps him alive.
She leaves him at the old house and has no intention of checking up on him.
But plans never keep pace with change. When Yu Ning sees Cheng Cisheng standing outside her door with a little backpack, looking up at her expectantly, her brows immediately knit together.
Her eyes fill with displeasure. Just then, a pink-clad girl suddenly rushes over and shields him behind her.
"I'm sorry, Miss. I'll take Xiao Sheng away right now. I won't let him bother you..."
The newcomer is only sixteen or seventeen, with a pretty, delicate face.
She looks terrified, and her apology is timid and soft. She seems easy to push around.
But Yu Ning knows that's only a facade.
Because the moment the girl speaks, Yu Ning hears a voice in her mind:
"This time, no matter what, I can't let the villain get near that lunatic!"
Mulling over the two strange words the girl had used, Yu Ning's eyes take on a rare spark of interest.
A villain? This weak little burden?
And... a lunatic?!
Me?
Seeing how much the girl wants to keep her distance, Yu Ning suddenly smiles, warm and radiant.
She reaches out toward the little boy standing nearby.
"You're Xiao Sheng, right? Come here and let your big sister get a good look at you."

Tang Tiantian is the heroine of a transmigration-into-a-book novel. Her mission is to save Cheng Cisheng, the villain of the original story.
In her view, the main reason Cheng Cisheng eventually became the obsessive, cold-blooded madman in the original story was Yu Ning, the sadist who died young.
If Yu Ning hadn't psychologically controlled Cheng Cisheng like a dog, how could he have been diagnosed with Stockholm syndrome and gone on to take revenge on everyone in the original story for her?!
So now that Tang Tiantian has transmigrated into the book as the cousin who will grow up alongside Cheng Cisheng, the first thing she has to do is keep him away from Yu Ning!!
She absolutely can't let that sadist torment Cheng Cisheng again!
Yu Ning doesn't deserve to be his family!
Tang Tiantian thought that with her attentive care and patient companionship, Cheng Cisheng would surely stay away from Yu Ning.
But she never expected that no matter how hard she tried, all Yu Ning had to do was beckon with a finger, and Cheng Cisheng would pull free of her without hesitation and run to Yu Ning.

As an illegitimate child with no claim to the family, Cheng Cisheng has been told since birth that his older sister is dangerous and he must never go near her.
At first, he believes it himself.
After all, his big sister really is so fierce.
But after his mother dies, it is Yu Ning, his dangerous big sister, who saves him from the people bullying him.
She kicks down the bastard who is about to swing a baseball bat at his head, then looks at him with scorn and says:
"You'd better live long enough to see the day the old man wants to acknowledge you."
Everyone thinks Yu Ning wants Cheng Cisheng dead, but when he really is on the verge of dying, she is the only one who saves him.
A rebellious big sister vs. a frail, clingy little brother
