At eighteen, Yu Jinsui moved into the Lu household with her mother.
On her first day at the mansion, she wandered into the art studio by mistake and met Lu Zhaonian, Uncle Lu's only son.
The young master had a head of bold, unruly blond hair and an exceptionally handsome mixed-race face.
His temper, however, was the opposite of his looks. He was as nasty as a beagle.
Not only did he mistake her for his father's illegitimate daughter, he kicked her out without a word.
They got off on the wrong foot from the very first day.
On her first day at school after transferring, Yu Jinsui was forced to ride in his car.
She swallowed her complaints, wisely gave in and chose the back seat, and avoided him like the plague.
Lu Zhaonian saw right through her at a glance and smiled playfully. "Dropped the act? They're not around, so you're not calling me big brother anymore?"
He lazily rested an elbow on the window ledge and propped his head up with one hand. "How about we make a bet? Let's bet on how long it'll take us to become real siblings, the kind on the same household register. My guess is less than three months."
Then he dumped her on the roadside and drove off.

When the three months were up, Yu Jinsui had tamed Lu Zhaonian, the beagle, only to suddenly let go of the leash and leave him behind to study abroad.
Three years later, they met again at a charity auction.
In a bespoke suit, Lu Zhaonian looked every bit the gentleman, but the arrogance of his youth had faded, replaced by a hint of menace.
He had changed so much that Yu Jinsui lost herself for a moment and called out without thinking, "Brother."
His eyes were plainly distant. "Brother? Miss Yu, don't go calling just anyone your brother. I'm not some blond guy from the village entrance who casually takes a little sister."
-
Lu Zhaonian hated Yu Jinsui pretending to be sweet and calling him her brother.
At first, it was because he hated her.
Later, it was because he hated the relationship between them.

[Reader's Guide]
1. A second-chance romance with a touch of mystery. Reunited in the city, with memories of their school days. The flashbacks make up a large part of the story.
2. Neither lead is perfect. The female lead is the story's complainer, with lots of inner monologue.
3. 1v1, both leads are sexually inexperienced. A pseudo-incest romance with no blood relation, in a pseudo-blended family where the female lead is living with the family. They are not on the same household register.
