Treat Your Husband Better!

Lian Ye declared unilaterally that he and Gu Liangquan were mortal enemies. From childhood onward, he competed with him over everything from school grades to who received more Valentine's Day love letters.

Taking advantage of the unwritten marriage arrangement made by their elders, Lian Ye came and went as he pleased in Gu Liangquan's home and company, ordering him around. Gu Liangquan let himself be bossed about, keeping an unusually steady temper and even learning to fight fire with fire.

Gu Liangquan: "If your attack isn't strong enough, I'll take it as flirting."

Of course, there were occasional lapses in his composure, such as when Lian Ye secretly swapped Gu Liangquan's iced Americano for Chinese medicine while he had a cold.

Gu Liangquan: "Lian Ye, you son of a bitch! You filthy dog!"

Lian Ye wasn't afraid in the least. He just got even more brazen. "I'm your fiance. Be nice to your husband! Watch your tone!"

--

Who could have expected that after a car accident, Lian Ye would turn into a stray beagle by the roadside, barking out a stream of dog talk? Only Gu Liangquan could hear his thoughts.

Lian Ye's catchphrase changed from "Be nice to your husband" to "Aren't I your favorite little puppy anymore?"

The innocent, pitiful, homeless Lian Ye asked, "Kind Xiao Quan, will you take in this adorable little puppy?"

Kind Gu Liangquan replied, "No."

Lian Ye dipped a paw in water and drew an ugly little heart. "Thanks, Xiao Quan. Love you! If you say no, I'll bite you to death ^^."

Gu Liangquan's ears turned a strange shade of red.

Before long, Gu Liangquan was taking the dog to work and walking him for two hours after work. The usually stern Mr. Gu was forced to become a dog lover, while the exhausted office worker was left without a shred of energy or recourse.

Gu Liangquan: "Adorable little puppy?"

Lian Ye: "Beagle Demon King."

My next book will be The Heir Apparent Brother Is Secretly in Love with Me. Please add it to your reading list QWQ

Xie Youxi always thought he hated Xie Shechuan.

Xie Shechuan was his elder brother, the legitimate heir, and his archenemy.

He was the reason Xie Youxi had suffered so much as a child.

And Xie Youxi was the son of a concubine, a lesser-born son who couldn't surpass him no matter how hard he tried.

Until everyone in the Xie household perished in the struggle over the heir to the throne. His usually composed elder brother, who always wore a mask of gentle refinement, embraced him and wept, his tears soaking through Xie Youxi's clothes.

Xie Youxi admitted that the child who had once held his mother and vowed to trample Xie Shechuan underfoot had lost to his brother's tears.

--

At eighteen, Xie Shechuan achieved the highest honors in all six imperial examinations. He was so handsome that no one in the world could compare.

His father was a powerful court minister, and his mother was the eldest daughter of a distinguished family.

As their only son, his path in life had been set from birth: study hard as a child, pass the civil service examinations, then marry a suitable wife after coming of age and uphold the family's reputation.

Until his half-brother, Xie Youxi, was born.

After that, the things Xie Shechuan cared about changed from the imperial examinations and the court to whether Xie Youxi had eaten and whether he had been hurt...

On the surface, Xie Shechuan was restrained and proper. Inside, he was a rebel through and through.

When he passed the imperial examinations with top honors, he ruined his official career by going to Jiangnan to take a minor post. After rising to the highest position in the court, he resigned and left the capital to become a merchant, the lowest of the four traditional occupations. Each was the sort of scandal that would make his ancestors turn in their graves.

Who would have guessed that both decisions had something to do with his half-brother, the illegitimate son whose father was unknown?

Xie Youxi didn't want to see him, so he requested an assignment far away and went to Jiangnan, eight hundred li from the capital.

Xie Youxi loved fine clothes and adornments, so Xie Shechuan resigned and became a wealthy Jiangnan merchant.

Even when Xie Youxi gave him a cold shoulder, he only smiled and called, "Youxi."

This wasn't a half-brother at all. It was a sweetheart of a brother.
