My Stepsister Really Is Beautiful

As someone who transmigrated into a book, Zhuang Hui knows that her stepbrother Zhao Changting has always loved someone else.

Unfortunately, she transmigrated as that woman's twin sister. They look exactly alike.

Later in the book, her general stepbrother, unable to have the woman he loves, will force himself on Zhuang Hui and drive her into despair, causing her to die young!

Zhuang Hui doesn't want to die, so she quickly settles on three candidates for blind dates.

But every one of them gets a leg broken by her stepbrother...

Since there's no escaping him, she might as well boldly face him. Maybe one day he'll realize that a fake can never replace the real thing, and finally grow tired of her!

So Zhuang Hui decisively gives in to her stepbrother: Big Brother, I'm willing to be with you, but can we keep it a secret?

A little scene:

One bitterly cold day, Zhao Changting watched his stepsister jump into the lotus pond at home and call for help.

He rescued her, only for her to throw herself into his arms as soon as she climbed out, pouting, "Ah, Big Brother, I'm so cold~"

It was an unmistakable seduction.

Zhao Changting gave a cold laugh, but when he looked down and saw his stepsister's face, lovely as a flower beaded with morning dew, he inexplicably took off his outer robe and draped it over her.

Later, he thought: His stepsister really was beautiful. It was only natural that he'd fall for her beauty trap.

Blurb:

Just after Cheng Shuning is reborn, her stern, cold-faced brother-in-law Zhou Congqian, who never lets his emotions show, threatens her: "Leave him, and I'll give you anything you want."

Remembering how the Cheng family was convicted and imprisoned in her previous life, and how her husband Zhou Conglian not only refused to help but demoted her to concubine and married someone else, while her brother-in-law Zhou Congqian came to her aid and saved her family's lives, Cheng Shuning doesn't refuse him outright this time. Instead, she says, "Then I want you."

For the first time in two lifetimes, she sees shock on a man's face.

In the end, though, he nods and says with a mocking edge, "You can only be my concubine."

Cheng Shuning agrees. Though she knows the man has mistaken her for someone who seeks advancement through powerful connections, she doesn't explain herself.

-

Zhou Conglian loves Cheng Shuning so much that, despite the vast difference in their status, he wants to marry her.

But not only do his parents object, his beloved and respected older brother does, too.

Only later does he learn just how shameless his seemingly noble older brother is. He opposed Zhou Conglian's marriage to Cheng Shuning, yet kept her by his side and eventually brought her home in a grand bridal procession, making her his own wife and Zhou Conglian's sister-in-law!

When Zhou Conglian learns that Cheng Shuning severed their marriage because his older brother forced her to, he is consumed with rage and suddenly wants to kill him.

If his older brother dies, Ningning will have only him. He'll take good care of her in his brother's place.
