【Sister-in-Law Romance | Brooding, Obedient Younger Brother | Leave the Jerk, Find Redemption | Stealing Her Away】
Xia Xuecan loved Zhou Yuchen for eleven whole years. Eight years of unrequited love and three years of marriage: she spent her entire youth on him before finally realizing that this relationship led only to indifference and betrayal.
When Xia Xuecan sprained her ankle, Zhou Yuchen was nowhere to be found. Zhou Mingzhou, however, patiently massaged her foot and applied medicine. Her eyes reddened. “Xiaozhou, why are you so good to me?”
Zhou Mingzhou smiled openly, his eyes bright. “Sister-in-law, if I don’t take care of you, should I let my brother do it?”
Xia Xuecan divorced him decisively, taking nothing but her personal belongings.
And Zhou Yuchen’s younger brother, Zhou Mingzhou.
Everyone else thought Xia Xuecan had escaped a miserable marriage. No one knew the feelings Zhou Mingzhou had kept hidden for years. “Sister-in-law” was the title he hated most. Every restrained utterance of it concealed his longing for someone he could never have.
When she accidentally got drunk at a bar, he viciously stopped the person harassing her, then carefully stole a kiss while she slept.
He quietly gathered irrefutable proof of his brother’s infidelity, personally shattering the chains of marriage that held her captive.
Countless times, he wanted to lock her away so that from then on she would have eyes for no one but him. Afraid she would hate him, he could only pretend to be sunny and obedient.
After years spent biding his time and plotting every step, he willingly took on all her hurts and humiliations, just to strip away the label of “sister-in-law.” The woman he loved had once been his sister-in-law, but that was all right. After enduring all that restraint and longing, she would one day become Mrs. Zhou, his and his alone.
