Eight-year age gap
*
For the first sixteen years that Song Qingwan lived under someone else's roof, she had a carefree life because she had an older brother in the household, Song Jingchen, to look after her.
He held her hand and taught her to walk.
He fed her spoonful by spoonful.
He taught her to read, one word at a time.
When her first period came, he carried her back to her room as she cried until she fainted.
When she came of age, the Marquis's wife arranged for her to meet a suitor.
Song Jingchen chased him off with a stick.
"I've spent all these years raising my little girl. How could some ordinary man possibly be good enough for her?"
Then the little girl ran off with an ordinary man.
For no reason at all.

Years later, Song Qingwan came back, bringing another chubby-cheeked little child with her.
He put on a gruff front. "You ran off with someone else for all those years, and now you've finally decided to come home?"
She plopped the child in front of him. "Yeah. I can't afford to raise the kid, so I'm asking you for help."
He gritted his teeth. "Fine."
A stand-in dad is still a dad.
Then one day, after drinking too much, he pushed her down onto the bed.
In the confusion of their passion, he remembered that he'd treated her the same way once before, years ago.
So that was what that sort of thing was...
He'd taught her, one thrust at a time.

1. A warm, everyday romance. They really are siblings at first, but stop being siblings once they get together. A growing-up story that starts when they're children.
2. One-on-one, both are each other's first, sweet.
3. The heroine left for a reason. The hero didn't forget that night on purpose, but there won't be angst.
4. If you like it, add it to your library and sing with me, "That night, you didn't say no to me..." If you don't, we'll meet again in the next book. Just have fun!
5. People who like to pick fights, move along. Anything you do to me will rebound on you.
