Transmigrated into the Adoptive Sister of the Male Lead Who Called Off the Engagement

Two years after transmigrating into a book, You Zichun realized that her sworn brother, Pei Yihe, was the book's domineering male lead, the kind who breaks off an engagement.

Even more terrifying, he might kill her at any moment!

The reason was simple.

The male lead in the book was decisive and used to acting alone.

She was only a mortal, and to him, now that he was being hunted by his enemies, she was nothing but a huge burden.

They had relied on each other all along, but lately Pei Yihe kept looking like he had something to say. At night, she heard the repeated sound of him sharpening his sword. Even the sword spirit that had been with him since childhood, and the divine jade pendant he'd stumbled upon, were quietly urging him to throw off the burden of keeping her around...

In short, to save her own life, You Zichun decided to run away.

Her first escape attempt failed when she ran into Pei Yihe halfway through.

He didn't ask why she'd gone so far. He just chuckled. "That jade really was a treasure. Even broken, it fetched a decent price. I'll make you some tonic soup when we get back."

You Zichun broke out in a cold sweat. He'd destroyed his own cheat item without a second thought. This guy was terrifying!

The second time, she fled in the middle of the night.

As for travel money, naturally, she'd take the marriage contract, disguise herself as a man, pretend to be her brother, and visit the young lady's household to break off the engagement and ask for compensation!

But as soon as she arrived at the young lady's home, she was detained.

The "young lady" behind the folding screen smiled and said, "Break off the engagement? Not a chance. We'll be married next month."

You Zichun: ??? I'm doomed!

Trapped in the vast estate, You Zichun spent every day plotting her escape.

Then one night, she thought she smelled blood.

She cautiously opened her eyes a sliver and glimpsed a lone figure standing beside the bed, holding a bloodstained sword.

"Awake?" The voice was Pei Yihe's, but none of its usual cheerfulness remained. It was eerily calm. "Who's been lying to you and convincing you to abandon your big brother this time? Tell me, okay?"

[Reading Guide]

✨ 1v1, a carefree heroine and her brother's number-one fan. Low-magic setting. The leads are not related by blood or marriage. They have already left their family when the story begins, and "brother and sister" are just terms of address.

✨ Includes a falling-out between friends, referring to the male lead and the sword spirit. They are friends early on, but later turn against and hate each other. The sword spirit is only a minor side character. This is a BG romance, so please don't ship them with other characters.

✨ The heroine is a mortal, and there's not much plot. The story focuses on the romance and is a bit of a clichéd melodrama.

✨ Other characters have one-sided crushes on the heroine, and that's all.

✨ The antagonists include both men and women. More details to come.
