Please add my upcoming novel, Willow Waist, to your reading list!

The Mu family is distinguished and famous throughout Jinling. When Xu Wangchun marries Mu Rongxiu, everyone says she is not good enough for him.

After four years of marriage without a child, her husband grows to despise her and her in-laws mock her. In the entire Mu family, only her brother-in-law, Mu Rongjing, occasionally speaks up for her.

Xu Wangchun spends years walking on eggshells in the Mu household, enduring humiliation after humiliation. Then Mu Rongxiu secretly takes a mistress, and her in-laws call her a barren hen. At last, the usually gentle and virtuous Xu Wangchun can take no more.

That night, the stars and moon hang low, and the frost bites. Barefoot, she enters Mu Rongjing's study, her red-rimmed eyes carrying a trace of pleading.

The man in fine clothes sits at his desk, his expression cool and his gaze dark. The hand holding a book, its knuckles sharply defined, exerts a restrained force.

"Sister-in-law, you've come to the wrong place."

Xu Wangchun clutches her skirt, mortified, and finally turns to leave with red-rimmed eyes.

The books scattered across the desk fall to the floor, and she is pulled into a broad, warm embrace.

A hoarse, low voice sounds beside her ear. "I've changed my mind."

"Since you've come, stay."

The Mu family's second son, Mu Rongjing, is as graceful as the moon and as gentle as jade. Well versed in the classics, he has the talent to govern the world.

Only the new bride his elder brother has just brought home becomes a nightmare that keeps him awake at night.

A willow-slim waist, a hibiscus face, and a voice that sways sweetly, calling his name again and again beneath the red bed curtains.

But when he wakes, she stands quietly beside Mu Rongxiu, beautiful as snow and gentle as water.

He watches impassively, waiting for her to be unable to endure the cold treatment and humiliation, and to beg him for help.

At last, she comes to him in the dead of night, her beautiful eyes carrying a trace of panic and hope.

She asks whether he can give her a child.

The book crumples in his hand. Mu Rongjing loses control of his heart completely.

The woman is not a virgin; the man is. The male lead is younger, and the heroine is one year older than him.

P.S. Mu Rongxiu is the one who is actually barren.

P.P.S. The leads do nothing improper at first. Their relationship begins only after the bond between sister-in-law and brother-in-law has been dissolved.

Theme: Grow through adversity, stay true to your original aspirations, and find success and happiness!
