The Male Lead Keeps Trying to Make Me His Mistress

The Dingyuan Marquis household has three sons. The eldest is upright and steady, the second is naturally clever, and the youngest is unbearably unruly.

Wei Siyu was betrothed to the eldest son of the Dingyuan Marquis household as a child. At eighteen, she married into the family and saw for herself the clever second young master and the unruly third young master.

The people of the Dingyuan Marquis household often scolded the third young master for his defiant, domineering ways. Because the Marquise had been left in poor health after giving birth to him, she disliked him and frequently reprimanded him.

But only Wei Siyu, who had transmigrated into a book, knew that the third young master, Yun Qi, was exceptionally gifted. He had simply given up on himself after a childhood spent being compared to others and scolded.

What was more, he was not the Marquise's biological son. Back then, the Marquise's younger sister had switched the Empress's newborn son with her own sister's child in order to frame the current Empress, then instructed her sister to raise the boy into a good-for-nothing.

As she looked at Yun Qi, who could clearly remember everything he read yet was being scolded by the Marquis and Marquise for being ignorant and incompetent, Wei Siyu saw the anguish on his face and felt for him. But as his elder sister-in-law, there were some things she could not say or do without overstepping her bounds.

Then, one day, Yun Qi was beaten until he was covered in wounds and barely breathing, left lying in the courtyard in the pouring rain. As despair filled his eyes, Wei Siyu could no longer hold back and went to save him.

Yun Qi had always believed Heaven was unfair to him. It was only after meeting her that he realized all the luck he would ever have was meant to bring him to her.

P.S. While their marriages remained in effect, the male and female leads never crossed the line.
