Xu Zhi'en was troubled after her resources were snatched away.
A friend accidentally learned of her connection to a certain powerful man and covered her mouth in surprise. "President He is your brother? Then you're the eldest daughter of the He family. How would your boss dare give you a hard time? They should be treating you like royalty!"
Xu Zhi'en replied indifferently, "We're not related by blood, and there's no affection between us."
"In fact... he really hates me."
At a company dinner for senior executives, she delivered some documents and then quietly left.
She met He Shiran in the corridor, ignored him, and walked right past.
The man spoke in a cool voice: "Don't you know to call me big brother?"

At the engagement ceremony, Xu Zhi'en walked onto the stage with her brother's arm in hers.
Hidden beneath her long veil, the bride's thighs were damp, and she trembled slightly.
On what should have been a happy day, Xu Lian whispered, "You are the reason for my misfortune."
Her handsome older brother adjusted her veil. He leaned in, his face brushing against hers, the two of them looking more like a perfect couple than the bride and groom, as if sharing a kiss at the wrong angle.
He whispered in her ear, "It's my honor."

When Xu Zhi'en first arrived at the He family home as a child, she grabbed He Shiran's sleeve and called him big brother.
She was as lively as a little bird, her feathers gleaming with spirited light.
She had no idea she was calling a demon her big brother.
