* Rekindled love / reunion after years apart / love-triangle showdown / siblings become enemies, enemies become lovers
Chen Qingque called Tan Heng her older brother, but they weren't related by blood.
She had a lot going on beneath the surface, but acted innocent, naive, and pure.
Tan Heng was taken in by her act.
Then the Tan family fell overnight, and she dumped him.
She said, "We have nothing to do with each other. What gives you the right to control me and stop me from finding someone better?"
Someone better?
When they met again while she was down on her luck, he meant to ignore her, but couldn't bring himself to.
He walked into the rain to shield her from the storm.
He asked, "Have you found someone better now?"
Chen Qingque said no. They made up.
But then she begged him, saying, "Brother, can you find someone for me?"
Tan Heng really did find her a powerful man to cling to.
And so, a love story between an innocent little white flower and a gentle, romantic young master unfolded before his eyes. One of them was his sister, the other his friend.
He thought Chen Qingque was just playing around.
Who knew Zhong Shunian would give up his playboy ways, and Chen Qingque would turn over a new leaf, and that they would be getting married?
As if.
Zhong Shunian was always rubbing Tan Heng's face in it. The man who had once been so gentle and courteous looked utterly vicious when he snarled, "Chen Qingque is your sister!"
"That's right, my darling little sister." He licked the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled.
[He smiled as he remembered every lie she told, ready to settle the score with her one by one someday.]
