Marrying My Brother

Possessive pursuit | Strong male lead, weaker female lead | Both are virgins, happy ending

Honest girl who keeps meeting the wrong people x sanctimonious, rotten older brother

The day the real Fifth Miss of the Wen family was found by her relatives,

Miao Yuan knelt at the side gate of the Wen residence, begging the old madam to spare her and not throw her out.

But the family members who had once been kind and affectionate now showed their true colors.

They denounced Miao Yuan with deep hatred, calling her a filthy girl from a private theater troupe and asking how she dared harbor such wicked intentions.

She had impersonated a young lady of the Wen family and taken up residence in their grand estate.

Miao Yuan knew that growing up among an aristocratic family had made her spoiled and accustomed to having her own way.

She had no money and no useful skills. If she left the residence without a plan, a procurer would abduct her and sell her into a brothel.

Miao Yuan was at the end of her rope. Fortunately, her legitimate older brother, Wen Ziqing, the top scholar who had passed the imperial examinations, had returned.

She clung to the brother she hadn't seen in years as if he were the last straw keeping her from drowning.

Miao Yuan's knuckles trembled as she stood in the pouring rain, meeting his cold, deep phoenix eyes and pleading desperately.

"Yuanyuan has lived in this residence since childhood and has long thought of the Wen family as her home. Big Brother, could you please remember the years we've spent as siblings and not throw me out...?"

The main branch of the Wen family had few children: only Wen Ziqing, the legitimate eldest son who upheld the family's reputation, and Wen Miaoyuan, the fifth young lady born to a concubine.

Perhaps the days they had relied on each other as children had moved Wen Ziqing.

The usually aloof and unfeeling eldest brother lowered his eyes and gazed at Miao Yuan for a moment. Then, unhurriedly, he said, "All right."

And so Miao Yuan stayed with the Wen family.

She knew that Wen Ziqing had given her a chance to live and a roof over her head.

She wasn't of the Wen family's blood and didn't dare stay there for long. She hoped to find a decent family and marry soon, so she could escape a life where she had no say in anything, a life like a quagmire.

On the eve of her wedding, as usual, Miao Yuan brought her older brother Wen Ziqing the soothing tea he drank before bed.

Through the door, she heard the splashing of water inside, along with a soft, lingering gasp: "Yuanyuan."

Miao Yuan didn't know what Wen Ziqing was doing. Thinking he might have caught a fever after getting soaked in the rain that morning, she instinctively pushed open the door, which had been left ajar.

But what she saw filled her with icy fear.

Miao Yuan's almond-shaped eyes widened as she spotted the scarlet undergarment held between Wen Ziqing's fingers.

Lotus pattern, brocade with a subtle design. It was the very garment that had gone missing from her room.

Miao Yuan was so ashamed and furious she wanted to die. Wen Ziqing only gave a low laugh, then coaxed her slowly in that same husky, desire-laden voice.

"Yuanyuan, come here."
