Also known as: "My Tenth Year Pretending to Be Gay, and I Finally End Up with My Adoptive Older Sister" and "The Best Way to Attract Someone Is, Naturally, to Become Her Love Rival"
The third time Xiao Xinyue caught her cheating boyfriend at a hotel in the same city, she saw Gu Lin's face again.
Infuriating, but incredibly handsome.
She would have admitted as much if he hadn't stolen her new boyfriend away from her for the third time.
But once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, and the third time is a pattern. Damn ugly gay!
You ungrateful dog, always picking a fight with me. Just you wait. I'll make you pay.
The next day, at the Xiao family's dinner, Xiao Xinyue took the hand of her adoptive younger brother Gu Lin in front of everyone and told her parents, "A Lin and I are dating. Please let us get married."
The Xiao parents were aghast. They knew perfectly well that Gu Lin was gay, and warned her not to become a beard.
Xiao Xinyue shrugged. "I'm not exactly normal either. Look up 4i."
She looked at Gu Lin and smirked. "I think I can satisfy a 0.5 like you. What do you say?"
Leaning back in his chair, Gu Lin turned to her with a bold, carefree smile. "You can. Of course you can."
Xiao Xinyue thought angrily, Just wait. You'll be crying one day, you damned little brat!
But after that, she never made Gu Lin cry again, except in bed.

Amid the grand fireworks ten years ago, Gu Lin was trapped in a hopeless fate, doomed to love without being loved in return.
In the scheme that unfolded ten years later, Gu Lin was still just a cornered beast, fighting a desperate battle after losing all hope.
But luckily, Xiao Xinyue didn't let him down. She never did.

The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago. So the best time to wait for love is also ten years.
