"Wife, it's time to come home." # I would become a demon for you, and lay down my blade for you # *Coming-of-age heroine, xianxia setting, a mountain of original details A preview of my upcoming story, The Sickly Beauty Who Became the Male Lead's Older Brother's Love Interest In a certain Mary Sue novel, Qiao Si was the academy's top beauty at an elite school. Beautiful and fussy, yet weak and sickly, she often felt as if she were dying of heartache, as fragile as the Princess and the Pea. To stay alive, Qiao Si diligently approached the novel's chosen ones, starting with her fiancé, whom she hadn't seen in years. Knowing her fiancé would eventually break off their engagement for the heroine, Qiao Si shamelessly took advantage of him, occasionally grabbing her "fiancé" and putting on a lovesick act. "Didn't you promise to stay with me as I grew up? Are you really going to abandon me for her?" "You won't even say a word for me? Am I not the only one for you anymore? Won't you protect me?" When she was getting carried away with her performance, her "fiancé" handed her a clean handkerchief. There was a surprising hint of patience in his irritable voice. "Come here. I'll protect you." His tall, imposing shadow fell over her, engulfing her completely. Qiao Si stopped crying, instantly dazed. ??? Had she seriously gotten the wrong person?! This was the male lead's older brother! Qiao Si's fiancé had been feeling rather irritated lately. His clingy childhood fiancée had ignored him after they reunited, and instead kept pestering his older brother... At a certain banquet, the girl stunned everyone in an elegant, mist-colored gown. At last, as the evening ended, he stopped her, ready to demand an explanation. But the girl looked at him blankly. "Sorry, could you move aside?" She walked past him toward a conspicuous red supercar outside. A flamboyant, domineering man was sitting in the car... Her fiancé's pupils shook. "Sisi..." The man bit down on his cigarette and corrected him. "Call her sister-in-law!" Theme: All things are equal
