The Widow of My Elder Brother [Next Chapter Opens Soon]

[Opening at the end of October]

The new bride the Shen family took in had once been a maid in a wealthy household. She was beautiful, clever, virtuous, and gentle. Everyone said the family was blessed to have married such a treasure.

Shen Sui knew his sister-in-law was anything but well-behaved. She was selfish and heartless, skilled at scheming, and would make a scene and play tricks on him over a few taels of silver. Her good nature was only an act for outsiders. Only her figure and face were truly breathtaking, just as everyone said.

He was the younger generation, so it wasn't his place to argue with her. He understood how hard she worked looking after his elder brother, so he made more of the dishes she liked and carried on with life.

Unfortunately, his elder brother failed the imperial exams and went astray. Whenever she finished arguing with him, she would hide in Shen Sui's room, lean on his shoulder and cry, cursing "that heartless man."

As time went by, her alluring body clung to his elder brother, yet came into Shen Sui's dreams night after night, moaning and acting coy, calling him "little heartless man." She left him sweating and trembling, his filthy desire eating away at him to the bone.

In the fourth year of her marriage, her penniless husband died. Yue Ning abandoned Shen Sui and flew without a backward glance into a phoenix's nest.

She lived in comfort with her new husband's family, and a little conscience returned to her. Once in a while, she came back to the Shen family to bring him food and other necessities, then pointedly criticized his impoverished life. "If you scrimp like this, what girl would ever agree to marry you?"

The young man looked at her with his cool eyes, a wolf's hunger and a tiger's greed in his gaze. It made her heart go numb.

On the day Shen Sui passed the highest imperial examination, lavish gifts from the city's powerful families filled the Shen family courtyard. When Yue Ning heard, she immediately ditched her new lover and rushed back, laughing at the sight of the roomful of treasures.

The young man stepped across the threshold behind her and steadied her back. "I have no elders above me, and I'm still young and inexperienced. Please take charge of the household finances for me, sister-in-law."

His considerate, respectful manner delighted Yue Ning so much that she could hardly move.

She'd been back for just one night, and he'd already left her waist limp.
