Younger man / love at first sight / three-year age gap / intense push and pull / forbidden tension / fake marriage
Meng Qiushui had just received a job offer from a major company when she was in a car accident and transmigrated into a parallel-world version of herself.
In this world, her family background was even worse than in her previous life: a frail mother bedridden by illness, a timid little brother of six or seven, and a father who had vanished without a trace.
At least in her previous life, she only had herself to feed. Meng Qiushui sighed. Since she was here, she might as well make the best of it. At least she had another life, and she was several years younger.
Just as she was wondering how to pay her mother’s astronomical medical bills, the heavens finally dropped a windfall into her lap... So there really was such a thing as a “romance” involving a home invasion.
A few years later, Meng Qiushui had become the newlywed wife of the current president of the Bo Group. When she first met her in-laws, she easily won them over. But why did her husband’s younger brother look at her as if he wanted to devour her?
From then on, whenever she visited the Bo family, the younger brother would either snort coldly or glare at her fiercely. He never called her sister-in-law, either.
Meng Qiushui had always thought Bo Yü disliked her. After all, he never looked happy to see her, especially when she went near Bo Si. His gaze was so intense it nearly burned right through her.
To avoid causing trouble, Meng Qiushui deliberately kept her distance from Bo Yü. That only made him look even darker, and she had to admit she couldn’t understand teenage boys of seventeen or eighteen.
Until one day, after Meng Qiushui and Bo Si had an argument and decided to sleep in separate rooms, a drunk Bo Yü kept knocking on her door that night. He spoke clearly as he said,
“Sister-in-law, open up. It’s your brother-in-law.”
Meng Qiushui: ...
An arrogant, unruly younger brother x a laid-back older woman who can be sweet or sassy
