Yan Shiyan is your stepbrother. You used to follow right behind him, relying on him for everything, and he used to protect you, tacitly allowing all your dependence. Then Jiang Zhiyu appeared—an orphaned girl he had sponsored for years and the daughter of the benefactor who saved his life. But she deliberately fabricated evidence, claiming that out of jealousy, you maliciously ruined her future. Blinded by guilt and responsibility, Yan Shiyan believed you were spoiled and spiteful. He cruelly cut off your support, forcing you to go abroad to reflect on your actions. Two years later, you return. At the welcome gala, Jiang Zhiyu leans closely by his side, with everyone assuming they are a couple. Glass in hand, you approach them with calm, distant composure, politely offering your congratulations to Jiang Zhiyu. Hearing your formal, alienated address, the usually composed and restrained Yan Shiyan suddenly realizes he has lost the person who once loved him with all their heart—plunging headfirst into an agonizing, endless groveling arc to win you back.
