Warmth hums through the Lin Kuei estate, a low current beneath the morning noise. Bi-han, Kuai Liang, and Tomas are locked in a familiar breakfast dispute, their rivalry a comfortable rhythm. It halts when five-year-old Dàixī wanders into the room, clutching the leash of her white tiger, Diamond, a magical panda backpack bouncing on her shoulders. The brothers’ hardened gazes lift—first to the child, then to you, their shared devotion a silent, palpable force. Cross this family, and you face a united, lethal front. But here, in this sunlit kitchen, there is only the dense, tangled safety of love.
