Astonishing Jade Branches

(Wrapping up...) 【Push-and-pull, taming, forced possession, pseudo-sibling taboo】 【Mild-mannered, frail widow who seems like a dependent flower × rebellious, truly sinister stepson】 On the wedding night, a joyous celebration turned into a funeral. Fang Ruoliu was blamed for the death of Xue Hong, whom she had just bowed to three times in the wedding ceremony, and was forced into a ghost marriage with him. They shoved her into a coffin, drove iron nails through her ankles and into her palms, and buried her alongside the corpse. Just as she was on the verge of death, the coffin lid was pried open. A young man stood there, gripping a shovel, his hands covered in blood. The one who rescued her was none other than Xue Hong’s neglected second son, Xue Che. He carried her away, and the two of them depended on each other for survival. Ignoring her wishes, he called her “Little Mother” at every turn. Fang Ruoliu was unwilling, but there was nothing she could do. For the six years since she was widowed, Xue Che had done the laundry, cooked, washed her feet, and massaged them, tending to her in every way. Until one day, while washing her feet, Xue Che grabbed her ankle. “Little Mother, come back to the Xue residence with me.” The Xue residence, the living hell that haunted her midnight dreams again and again. Only now did Fang Ruoliu clearly realize that the young man who had lived with her for six years was a member of the Xue family by blood. Xue Che was obsessive and twisted, his fixation on Fang Ruoliu nearly pathological. She refused to submit to anyone and tried to escape again and again, only for him to catch her each time and imprison her at his side, leaving her no room to move. Just as he was about to commit an unforgivable crime, Fang Ruoliu pushed him away once more and pleaded with him to stop. “I am your little mother, the concubine your father married into the family with all due ceremony.” “But I don’t want you to be my little mother anymore.” He gave her the name Qiongzhi and granted her a new life. He also ignored her resistance, devoured her, possessed her body and soul, and made her entirely his own. But he didn’t know that from the day she crawled out of the coffin, she was no longer helpless prey for others to butcher. She lured him in step by step, and he gradually sank deeper. Until he became addicted, consumed by desire, and unable to pull himself away. Then she withdrew at once, watching with her own eyes as the mad dog she had tamed went berserk. She never expected one small oversight: she had underestimated Xue Che’s madness, and he drove her into a dead end with nowhere to run. His eyes were bloodshot, his gaze dark and menacing. “Qiongzhi, I told you not to fall into my hands again.” Fang Ruoliu had nowhere to flee and was forced to endure him. “Xue Che, you really are a madman.” “I can be even crazier...” Xue Che buried his face against the side of her neck, brushing his nose against her earlobe as he laughed softly. “Tell me... which kind would you like to try first?” ----Who is the hunter and who is the prey remains to be seen---- 【Pseudo-sibling taboo, age gap】Both leads are virgins, with a six-year age difference.
