* Ascetic, scheming, cold man Wen Zhao & pure-hearted, beautiful madman Wen Jue

After diligently playing the role of "the amnesiac younger brother" for three years, Wen Zhao accidentally discovers two things.

First, his seemingly dimwitted, useless older brother has known all along that he's an impostor.

Second, that good-for-nothing has designs on him.

The script of deep brotherly love is forcibly turned into a romantic drama. Wen Zhao calmly plays along with his brother, planning to slip away and pour cold water on him when the act reaches its peak.

What he never expected was that the cold water would end up poured over his own head.

Bound to the same sinking ship, Wen Zhao watches the "idiot brother" who's been putting on an act for three years, and adds a third discovery:

Wen Jue isn't a good-for-nothing at all. He's a lunatic, a love-crazed lunatic.

After that, the ship is rocked until it capsizes, and Wen Zhao, left at a disadvantage, has to pack up and "die."

Years later, they meet again.

Wen Jue's heart goes off the rails again, and he resolves to use his old tricks. But Wen Zhao knows him too well and gets ahead of him, turning the tables with a gentle blade.

The first time they meet:

Wen Zhao leaves his umbrella for Wen Jue on a stormy day.

The second time they meet:

Wen Zhao cooks for Wen Jue himself and lets him stay the night.

The third time they meet:

Wen Zhao crooks a finger, and Wen Jue comes eagerly closer, exposing his weakness without a hint of wariness.

"You're really something, big brother..."

After getting what he wants, Wen Zhao casually grips the back of his neck. "You haven't changed at all."

Still so addicted to me. You can't even walk straight when you see me.
