Synopsis

[Both Leads Are Each Other’s First] [Sweet Romance + Traditional Historical Romance + Intense, Charged Push and Pull] On their wedding day, Pei Yu, heir to the Marquis of Yongan, prepared an extravagant bridal procession to marry the woman he loved. But the bride, Ye Fei, the eldest daughter of the Ye family, fled, turning him into a laughingstock across the capital and freezing his ardent love into bitter hatred. Two years later, the Ye family fell after being implicated in an arms-trafficking case. To save her critically ill younger brother and clear her wrongfully accused father and elder brother, Ye Ning, the Ye family’s once-noble second daughter, was forced into a life of debauchery. After a breathtaking dance, she met her “brother-in-law,” Pei Yu, again. He was now a cold and imperious heir.

“Brother-in-law, could you lend me some money?” She bowed low, using the most humiliating form of address to beg for a chance to survive.

“Ye Ning, what do you have to repay me with?” He looked down at her coldly. His hatred remained, but he could not hide his stirring feelings.

She had lost all hope and wanted to escape, but he clamped a hand around her waist and pinned her against his horse, his breath scorching: “The deal is over? Ye Ning, I still haven’t claimed your heart!”

The path to clearing her family’s name was bloody and treacherous, while their battle of love and desire consumed them to the bone. He promised to clear her father’s name, in exchange for her giving him her whole life. How much of this cold-hearted heir’s sincerity should she believe? Would she willingly become his pampered lover, or break free of her golden cage and rise from the flames?

Bowing is easy. Capturing a heart is hard. The cold-faced heir’s all-consuming doting has only just begun.

The Male Lead Is the Female Lead's Brother-in-Law in Name Only

The male lead met and fell for the female lead first, but no one knew about it. Later, her older sister met him, and because she was frail and sickly, along with some other special circumstances, she got engaged to him instead. The female lead's sister is a villain. I read a book like this before, but I can't find it now.
