Back to My Late Brother's Eighteenth Year

[Rekindled Love] [Mutual Pining] [Sweet Romance]

Bright, lively, radiant sunshine girl x cold-faced, extremely controlling older brother

*

Ten years after she kissed her older brother by force, Pei Meng received news of his death.

She rushed back from across the ocean, crossing mountains and rivers, but still failed to see Chen Zui one last time.

Perhaps fate wasn't finished with them. While paying her respects, Pei Meng accidentally lit a match,

and returned to the day she had forced a kiss on Chen Zui.

*

Chen Zui was the only son of a Yangcheng city councilor, with an exceptionally handsome face. Calm and restrained, he was ruthless in his actions, a true egoist who never stopped until he got what he wanted.

He hated fools, yet repeatedly indulged his silly little sister as she circled around him.

Pei Meng's sincerity was easy to read and hard to come by. For someone as selfish and twisted as Chen Zui, it was a dangerous temptation. But he couldn't help being drawn to her.

Chen Zui planned for every eventuality and cleared every obstacle, but still couldn't outmaneuver his own father. A photograph of him kissing Pei Meng in a Yangcheng tabloid became a death sentence for them both.

A friend lit a cigarette and smiled. "You're keeping her in the dark. Aren't you afraid she'll hate you?"

Chen Zui gazed at the photo on his lock screen and said thoughtfully, "I wish she would."

Chen Zui wagered his entire fortune, and his life, to give Pei Meng a chance to live. The price might be that they would never see each other again.

*

Pei Meng was forced to cross the ocean again, this time under her older brother's watch. She did whatever she wanted: street racing, going to all kinds of high-society parties, clinking glasses with friends in the industry, and making a name for herself in Hollywood.

At a New Year's Eve party, Pei Meng stumbled home drunk and pushed open her front door, only to see a familiar figure in the living room.

The man wore an expensive black suit, sitting in the shadows with his long legs crossed as his distinctively jointed fingers turned the ice in his glass.

The ice clinked against the glass with a dull sound, and Pei Meng shivered without meaning to.

Chen Zui's phoenix eyes lifted slightly, his scorching gaze fixed on Pei Meng. He was charming and dangerous, like a venomous snake poised to strike.

"Who's the man outside? Why don't you invite him in?"

"Did you have fun? Was dancing with men enjoyable?"

Chen Zui's expression was cold. He stood and drained his drink, then walked toward his little sister one step at a time. His large hand gripped Pei Meng's face as he leaned in close. He gritted his teeth and whispered in her ear:

"You've lived through two twenty-eighth birthdays. When are you going to learn your lesson?"

"There is a bridge between every two people, built of tears. Tears are the smallest river, and love is the strongest bridge."

Reader's Guide

1. The blurb is told from the female lead's perspective, and there are many twists. The male lead never hurts her. He is always paving the way for her, and the two support each other through every challenge.

2. Both leads are chaste, both leads are chaste, both leads are chaste, both leads are chaste. It starts at school and later moves to the city, with only a short school arc.

3. There will be no evil female rivals in this book. I never write evil female rivals.

4. There is no romantic description while they are still related. Before the female lead is reborn, only one chapter depicts events, with no interwoven timelines or flashbacks. Image source: @Irene gallery

5. No real-life models or actual locations. The political system is inspired by the West.
