He just watched from the sidelines as she bore children for that person and get let down, while secretly feeling heartbroken for her. All because he thought she would only ever treat him as her brother for the rest of her life… Since Gu Qingyi had another chance with her life, should she try for love again? … Gu Junli fell in love with his own sister.

If she could see him as a man, if she could choose him, then he would make sure that she would be happy for the rest of her life…
