[Forbidden romance among the wealthy + powerful man steals his brother's fiancée + roguish, ruthless family head x outwardly gentle but stubborn good girl + intense push and pull]
Zhu Nanyin had a fiancé. He was handsome and sweet-talking, but he had one flaw: he caroused everywhere, certain she was meek and obedient and would never dare break off their engagement.
She hadn't yet decided whether to marry him when she did something that could ruin her life: she slept with his older brother.
Zhu Nanyin was heartbroken and wanted only to bury that absurd night and make a dignified exit.
But the aloof, ruthless older brother tore off his disguise completely.
At the family banquet during the day, he was the eldest grandson of the Tan family, respected by everyone, while his younger brother eagerly called him Big Brother.
In the corridor late at night, he pinned her hard against the door, then leaned close to her burning ear and laughed in a low voice.
"You called me Big Brother so easily at the table. Call me that again in private."
Zhu Nanyin's eyes reddened as she gritted her teeth and backed away. "Tan Lingzhou, you're crazy! I'm Aye's fiancée."
The man's eyes were bloodshot. He gripped her wrist and pressed it against his heart, refusing to let her go.
"Yinyin, after tempting me, who do you think you can marry?"
"You can break off the engagement, but move into my bedroom. I'll give you both a proper status and all the affection you want."
Later, his younger brother finally regretted everything and broke down, kneeling with red eyes and begging her to take him back.
The door opened. His ever-abstemious older brother leaned lazily against the doorframe, leisurely fastening his shirt collar, and sneered.
"Mind your manners. Don't wake your sister-in-law."
