Dare to Take a Live-In Son-in-Law? My Possessive Little Brother Blocks the Bedside

[Resilient, beautiful, sickly young lady x silent, obsessive young swordsman]

Lu Yunyao is born to a noble family, blessed with peerless grace and beauty. From birth, she is the perfect candidate to become the Crown Prince's consort.

After her father dies in battle, she falls from the clouds. Her marriage prospects come to nothing, and the entire capital waits to see her make a fool of herself. The Third Branch rushes to adopt an heir and seize the title, while her mother, misled by others, treats her with cold indifference. Everyone assumes the sickly young lady will never rise again.

She merely smiles and, despite her frail health, quietly finds her long-lost half brother. She acknowledges the so-called bastard everyone talks about, then turns around and drives the Third Branch out of the family home.

She has known all along that the boy is not her father's flesh and blood. If he can be the sharpest blade in her hand, then he is a good younger brother to her.

And her brother is indeed obedient. Silent, ruthless, and ready to strike wherever she points.

Knowing her body will not hold out much longer, Lu Yunyao plans to take in a live-in son-in-law from a modest family, someone easy to control, and have a child early so she can raise them herself. But every match she takes an interest in gets ruined.

In the dead of night, she is suddenly pinned to the bed. The young man presses his scorching body against her, trapping her in the narrow space. His usually indifferent gaze is now dark, as if he might devour her.

“You want a child...”

His voice is hoarse with tension as his thumb slowly brushes the corner of her lips.

“Let me help you.”

“Don't go looking for anyone else.”

Only then does Lu Yunyao finally see that the obedient little wolf pup she thought she had raised has been coveting her all along!
