share time: 2025-10-14 06:00:14

Lin Xiaoman’s life takes a sharp turn when her mother remarries—her new stepbrother is Shen Yan, the gloomy, solitary boy from the next high school class who used to make her too nervous to look at. Their first meeting at the new home: Xiaoman crashes into him with a cardboard box, realizing the once-intimidating guy is now her family. But as they live together, Xiaoman discovers warmth beneath Shen Yan’s icy exterior: he collects her forgotten school uniform, defends her from bullies, and even hides her lost hairpin from last year. Just when she thinks their bond is thawing, Shen Yan suddenly pulls away and says he wants to move out—“I don’t want to mess with your life.” Little does she know, Shen Yan has long realized his feelings for his stepsister are forbidden, and this secret is tearing him apart.
