Chloe Finch was the aspiring actress I'd sponsored for five years. From a small town to the fringes of Hollywood, I paid for every cent of her acting classes and living expenses. I had treated her like a sister. When she was diagnosed with a rare hereditary progeria syndrome, I even begged my husband, Jorge Thorne—Emerald Hills' most celebrated plastic surgeon—to get her a spot in a top gene therapy trial. But on the day she signed with a small-budget independent film… I went to his downtown penthouse early, wanting to give him a surprise. Instead, I found Jorge pressing her against an Italian leather sofa, gently kissing her slightly swollen belly. "Jorge, if Rhiannon finds out about our baby, will she take away my spot in the trial?" Jorge pulled her into his arms, his voice smooth with its practiced, magnetic charm. "Don't worry. A woman like Rhiannon is so rational she’s practically a reptile. She could never understand the kind of soul-deep connection we have—the passion of two true artists." "Besides, she’ll behave. She knows I’m up for the cover of Apex magazine and won't do anything to jeopardize my chances." "Once I secure that one-of-a-kind clinical trial spot for the gene therapy, I'll divorce her and give you and our child a real future." I stood frozen outside the door, the biological key chip I’d just picked up from the lab growing cold in my hand. I didn't push the door open. I didn't cause a scene. I just calmly snapped it in two and tossed it into a decorative vase in the hallway. Jorge Thorne. You had no idea, did you? And the final approval for that trial? It comes from me. The very wife you just called cold-blooded.

In her past life, Su Yaoguang bought Xiao Yanci, supported his education, and helped him rise to great heights. She became his wife. Everyone praised him for never abandoning the farm girl who funded his rise. Su Yaoguang also believed she had found a good man. Unexpectedly, when she was seriously ill, she saw Xiao Yanci bring his first love and a child who resembled them both to her bedside. "Dad, mom, when will this person die?" the child asked, holding Xiao Yanci's hand. Xiao Yanci responded, "Soon, just wait a bit longer." That was the moment she realized: she had wasted her entire life on the wrong man. Returning to the age of fifteen, Su Yaoguang pointed at the bloody young boy: "I want him." In her past life, no matter what she gave Xiao Yanci, she only received a cold expression. This time, the young boy, like a wolf cub, dropped his guard; everything Sister gifted was the best. Sweet as milk. Devoted beyond reason. He melted her completely. Until one day, the young boy took a high position. Not wanting history to repeat itself, Su Yaoguang packed her things and slipped away at night, only to run into a man as noble and unattainable as a deity. "I've heard you call us siblings everywhere. Good sister, shouldn't we change what we call each other?"
