One snowy night, Jiang Shuyi was on her way home from school when she met the son of the mistress her mother called morally depraved. Unlike her mother's claims that he was utterly wicked, the man before her was tall and elegant, with a relaxed, gentle air. He even kindly helped her with a difficult math problem.

After her parents died one after the other, Jiang Shuyi thought of the older half-brother she shared a father with. Back then, she thought she had boarded a ship that could bring her to shore. But in truth, the ship would never sink, and she would never reach land.
On the night of her graduation party, she came home drunk. Her brother, who was almost never home, sat silently on the sofa, looking at her coldly.
"Shuyi, break up with him," the man said. A cigarette burned between his fingers, and the faint curve of his lips nearly vanished into the darkness. "Your brother can pretend nothing ever happened."
