   Reader note

   "You Love Your Neighbor's Younger Brother, But What's the Regret About Marrying Him?" Is practically a modern-day version of the seduction story of the neighbor's younger brother. With sharp prose and witty humor, the author thoroughly dissects the married life of Zhou Linchen and Gu Kexing. Zhou Linchen, a junior doctor at a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, should have been living a peaceful and happy life, but the sudden appearance of his neighbor's younger brother, Ji Jinxu, throws his life into chaos. Ji Jinxu, this cunning man, is practically the epitome of "ambiguity." He showers Gu Kexing with attention while simultaneously feigning innocence, leaving the reader wondering about his true motives. Gu Kexing, as the heiress of the Gu Min Group, should be a decisive and ruthless businesswoman, but she seems to lose her mind in front of Ji Jinxu. While claiming she only saw Ji Jinxu as a younger brother, she simultaneously enjoyed his flattery and ambiguous advances—wasn't that playing with fire? The first two chapters of the novel are filled with dramatic conflicts and reversals, keeping the reader on the edge of their seat. After discovering Gu Kexing's ambiguous relationship with Ji Jinxu, Zhou Linchen's anger, disappointment, and inner turmoil intertwine, prompting the reader to ponder the true importance of trust in marriage. And Gu Kexing—does she truly have no ulterior motives towards Ji Jinxu, as she claims? Most ironically, Gu Kexing even tries to use the fact that Ji Jinxu once saved her life to whitewash herself—is she kidding me? Can a life-saving debt be used as an excuse for ambiguous relationships? What about Zhou Linchen, her legal husband? Overall, this book is a poignant urban novel that evokes both laughter and tears, leaving the reader with much to ponder. It not only tells the story of Zhou Linchen and Gu Kexing's marital crisis but also profoundly explores the themes of trust, responsibility, and love within marriage. This makes one wonder: how exactly should we protect our love and happiness in marriage?

    In the first book, Shen Yu clearly remembered him sitting perfectly fine in the carriage, only responsible for driving. She wielded her knife with incredible skill, clearing away everyone around her and protecting him completely. She was certain that not even a mosquito could have gotten close. So where did his injury come from? The moment she asked this question, Xie Tingzhou's speechless expression deepened. Xie Tingzhou glanced at her right hand, where she held the knife she hadn't been able to let go of, even after being swept down the river. She held it, but she was tossed about by the river like a corpse. The knife wound was from an accidental cut in the water; he was lucky he hadn't been killed by her in the water. Shen Yu looked down at the knife in her hand and asked uncertainly, "Could it be... That I cut him?" "No, I deliberately put my arm against your knife in the water." In the second book, the Jiang and Song families had been on good terms for generations, and Song Wan was betrothed to Jiang Xingjian before she was even born. The two were childhood sweethearts, but she was confined to the inner quarters of the household, her entire education merely preparing her for becoming a wife in the Jiang family. The young man, dashing and ambitious, set off for the frontier before reaching adulthood, seeking glory and establishing himself. Before his departure, Jiang Xingjian personally placed a white jade hairpin in her hair. His words, "Wait for me," captured Song Wan's heart. Even after his death on the battlefield, she insisted on marrying into the Chengyang Marquis's household, carrying his memorial tablet. She kept the young man hidden in her heart, remaining a widow for six years, only to see Jiang Xingjian return to the capital with his beloved. His young lover was eccentric and unpredictable; she crafted ice and firearms in the summer, helping the Marquis's household rise to prominence. Song Wan watched him embrace her, showering the young woman with affection. She also watched him snatch the reins of the household from her, all for the sake of winning her favor. No noble family would divorce a woman, so Song Wan abandoned everything and left the Marquis's household, only to be entangled by a rebellious and unruly man. But then, Jiang Xingjian suddenly realized his mistake. Jiang Xingjian: Song Shi was mine in life, and she will be mine in death. Shen Qianyu: You go find your dead ghost, I want my Awan...
