Before My Sister Died, She Begged Me to Marry the Heir to a Wealthy Family

[1v1] [Mutual Firsts] [Eight-Year Age Gap] [Marriage Before Love]

OMG! Her sister met her online boyfriend in person, then asked her to marry her brother-in-law. Is this some kind of joke?

But her sister was terminally ill and didn't have long to live. To fulfill her sister's dying wish, Tang Mingxing could only grit her teeth and marry a man she'd never met, who was eight years older than her!

Her brother-in-law was handsome, elegant, and reserved. He was exactly Tang Mingxing's type, but no matter how great he was, he was still her brother-in-law!

To avoid being found out, she wracked her brain every day, trying to outwit him and keep him from realizing she wasn't her sister!

But to her surprise, she wasn't the only one pretending. Her brother-in-law was acting, too! The factory owner's rich son she'd imagined turned out to be a discreet heir to one of the most powerful families in the country!

Hah! So they were even!

Everyone in the Pei family looked down on her humble background. They'd deliberately made him hide his identity, hoping to watch her make a fool of herself.

But no one expected Pei Yu, cold and ruthless to the outside world and never one to get close to women, to be exceptionally tender with her alone.

When she worked overtime late into the night, he quietly waited for her to finish.

When relatives came to give her a hard time, he immediately stepped in front of her to protect her.

Whenever thoughts of her sister brought her to tears, he would gently stroke the top of her head. "Don't be afraid. I'll protect you from now on."

Then his identity as a wealthy heir was exposed, and the whole internet called her a scheming woman, a fake. A white-lotus supporting character even spread rumors, accusing the sisters of teaming up to marry into a wealthy family.

Pei Yu pulled her tightly into his arms and declared for all to hear:

"I once guarded a gentle moonlight, but for the rest of my life, I only want to guard this little star."

The once aloof, taciturn tycoon was willing to be her strongest support, cherishing her beyond measure and protecting her for a lifetime.
