All complete and ready to read! --- Blurb separator --- "My Childhood Friend's Older Brother Secretly Has a Crush on Me (Reborn)" [Sunny, bold, passionate little sun x insecure, twisted, self-destructive type] 1v1, both virgins in both lives Blurb: To repay her childhood friend for saving her father, and to honor the promise of marriage between their families, Ming Yi married him without regret, even after learning before the wedding that an accident had left him unable to walk for the rest of his life. Who could have known that all her heartfelt love would ultimately earn her a difficult mother-in-law, a harsh husband, and a death at someone else's hands? Reborn, she turns her attention to her childhood friend's older brother, infamous for his brutality. At a palace banquet, Gu Lian, as the emperor's enforcer, is responsible for maintaining order inside the palace. He shouldn't drink, but he cannot bring himself to refuse the cup of wine Ming Yi offers in thanks. The wine is drugged, and a sudden blaze ignites in his belly. At last, his gaze toward her holds an honest warmth. Ming Yi helps him to the bed and timidly looks up, her eyes full of helpless appeal. "I can't refuse the marriage arrangement with the Gu family. If I must marry, I hope it will be you." She tries to let go, but his large hand closes tightly around hers. His dark eyes are deep and still as an ancient well. "So you drugged me?" Ming Yi's cheeks burn as she stammers awkwardly, "I... I was afraid you wouldn't agree..." He clearly avenged her. Surely that meant his heart was on her side. But for some reason, in both her past life and this one, he always avoided her. Even when they happened to meet, he was cold and distant, making her think he disliked her and keeping her from daring to approach him again. "Do you know who I am?" "...Yes, big brother." "I have a hidden ailment. Are you still willing?" Ming Yi replies innocently, "Of course." He is the one with the illness, not her. Surely she won't have to die all over again. But she doesn't know that his illness has everything to do with her. When it flares up, it is almost as if he were dead. Theme: No hardship is impossible to overcome. Face life with optimism, and live each day with joy and positivity.
