1. When Tan Yi was seventeen, her father brought home a graceful, charming woman. The woman glanced at her and smiled with particular brilliance.

Faced with a woman who had appeared out of nowhere and whose origins were unknown, Tan Yi tilted her head slightly and lowered her dark eyes. Following her father's wishes, she reluctantly called Qin Su “Stepmom.”

Time quickly passed to the year Tan Yi started college. The day her father ruthlessly kicked her out and cut ties with her, she came to Qin Su's rental apartment alone, thin and dressed in damp clothes.

Tan Yi huddled, cold, in the stairwell, like a poor little puppy with nowhere to go.

Those helpless eyes stirred Qin Su's compassion, and she took her in.

Day after day, their feelings seemed to change imperceptibly in that cramped rental apartment.

Qin Su thought she was being ridiculous, absurdly trying to comfort herself late at night while her mind was full of someone she shouldn't want.

But she knew that even though they were no longer stepmother and stepdaughter, she still couldn't bring herself to take that forbidden first step...

2. The threads of fate touched and intertwined once more. Tan Yi hated Qin Su for leaving without a word, hated her for breaking her promise, and hated her for not loving her.

One day, many years after they parted, Tan Yi's dark, sinister gaze fell on Qin Su again.

Tan Yi gripped her soft waist and pinned her against the wall. Her slender fingers, veins standing out, brushed a stray lock of hair from Qin Su's ear. Her low voice carried a faint, cold laugh as it lingered by Qin Su's ear. “Stepmom~ Long time no see~”

3. Later, just as Qin Su finally stopped avoiding her love and saw it for what it was, Tan Yi became a dream she couldn't tell from reality...

Note:

1. The younger woman is an adult, and feelings only develop after she and the older woman are no longer in a stepmother-stepdaughter relationship. The stepmother and the younger woman's father are only partners in name. The leads are not related by blood and were never registered under the same household.

2. Professional knowledge is based on online research and fictional details.

3. The plot and setting are not based on real life and have no connection to reality.

4. The characters are imperfect. Contains melodrama [emphasis added]!

5. Everything serves the plot and my tastes.

6. The characters' values do not represent the author's. All male characters are just props.

7. The bonus chapters contain plot from the main story.

Marriage before love | Five-year age gap | Older woman | Sweet and sour

After spending the night with a woman at a hotel, Shi Qing thought the woman looked familiar, but couldn't remember where she'd seen her. She left a card behind to make it up to her.

Three months later, Shi Qing impulsively married a woman for certain reasons. Her bride was a younger member of the Gu family, longtime friends of the Shi family, named Gu Lingjun.

On their wedding night, Shi Qing blew smoke rings provocatively in front of Gu Lingjun. Holding the other woman's detailed marriage profile, she glanced flirtatiously at the tall figure under the lamplight. “Gu Lingjun... Dr. Gu, it seems you're pretty good at lying, aren't you?”

Shi Qing never imagined that the wild night after she returned to the country had led her to sleep with her older sister's fiancee.

She also never expected that, in the days to come, the woman would seem unperturbed, while everything she did was a quiet demand for a proper place in Shi Qing's life...

.

Gu Lingjun had been taught by her elders from childhood to think carefully before every word and action. The most outrageous things she had ever done were: 1. Going to a bar once at a friend's urging. 2. Getting drunk and willingly spending the night in bed with that mischievous woman she'd known since childhood.

She lost her dignity, lost her heart, and got into trouble with the elders of both the Gu and Shi families.

After her intended bride played along that night, the elders of both families had no choice but to make a smooth switch, replacing her older sister with the younger Shi Qing, the one she had long admired.

/. In short, it's a story about an old flame quietly catching fire, with a marriage before love and mutual seduction~
