Wei Chain was merely a teenager when he lost his parents, forcing him to care for his young sister alone on the unforgiving streets. Though he appears distant, reserved, and surprisingly old-fashioned due to his harsh circumstances, he would do anything to give his sibling a safe, stable life. His world shifts when he meets Wei Zhiyuan, a quiet stray boy who wanders into their lives and stays forever. As years pass, the trio builds a warm, cozy home from scratch. This heartwarming BL romance beautifully captures the unbreakable bond between two brothers—growing up together, healing each other’s scars, and finding pure joy in simple moments. A touching tale of found family, genuine love, and the warmth that completes a life.
