After the Cousin Bride Marries, Her Fiancé's Uncle Seizes Her

[A girl bent on climbing the social ladder × a possessive, scheming uncle who loses his composure; one-on-one romance; both leads are devoted to each other]

To escape the clutches of her stepbrother and the prefect’s son, Su Yao fled on the eve of her wedding with her little brother, seeking refuge at the Duke of Rong’s residence.

Once there, she had just two goals: do whatever it took to climb the social ladder, and stay far away from Lu Chengxiao, that madman.

She tried seducing each of the Duke’s three sons in turn, but Lu Chengxiao still held a grudge because she had kicked him, badly wounded, off a boat. Time and again, he ruined her chances at marriage.

“Su Yao, I’m warning you: don’t go after my nephews.”

Su Yao had no choice but to give up on the three Lu brothers for now. Fortunately, Heaven was kind to her and sent her another suitable husband.

“Master Qi, may your heart be true to mine.”

Just as she was eagerly awaiting her wedding, Lu Chengxiao appeared like a ghost. His hand closed around her slender waist, his voice colder than ice.

“Su Yao, stay away from my brother. He’s honest and simple. You are not to go after him.”

As expected, her wedding was called off again. Furious, Su Yao decided to make Lu Chengxiao regret it. She slipped her supple arms around his neck, her red lips parting, her eyes seductive, her gaze a bewitching hook.

“Uncle, since you won’t let me go after them, how about I go after you instead?”

Lu Chengxiao pulled her off him and fled in disarray.

Later, Su Yao finally got her wish and married the legitimate second son of the Lu family. On the eve of the wedding,

Lu Chengxiao stormed into her bedchamber, tore her undergarments, and gripped her chin as he demanded, “Weren’t you going to go after me? Why are you marrying the third son instead?”

“Su Yao, since you were the one who came after me in the first place, don’t expect to get away unscathed.”
