The Tyrannical Chancellor's Brother Dotes on Him

(The main story is complete, so feel free to dive in.)

In her previous life, Xie Er's true identity was exposed. She went from phoenix to chicken, and the once lofty county lady was demoted to a commoner.

Fortunately, her fiance loved her and didn't care about her status.

But on the way to their wedding, her half-brother Xie Jinxing, a powerful and ruthless eunuch whom she had once cruelly bullied, snatched her away and brought her back to the palace to serve as his bed companion.

Xie Jinxing loosened his hair and opened his collar, leaning against the jade couch. His dark hair and red lips made him devastatingly beautiful. He sneered and beckoned her with a finger. "Come here."

Every day, Xie Er was forced to serve him tea and grind his ink. Sometimes he would grip her slender waist and lean close to her ear, asking coldly, "Didn't you always say you hated profiteering eunuchs like me most of all? How does it feel to be kept as a eunuch's bed companion?"

Later, Xie Er died of depression. As a lonely ghost, she witnessed her beloved betray and use her, then shamelessly beg her half-brother to secure him an official post. In the end, her half-brother placed her body in a beautiful glass coffin, kept it polished and set it beside his bed day and night, speaking tenderly to her as he had when they were children, and avenging her.

Reborn, she returned to the age of six. Her mother once again put a whip in her hand and forced her to treat Xie Jinxing coldly, tormenting and beating him.

This time, Xie Er refused, no matter what.

The little girl had tears glistening in her eyes. She helped Xie Jinxing, whose eyes were swollen from the beating, to his feet, then put the whip in his hand.

"Brother, I'm sorry. If you're angry, you can hit me... once."

After saying this, Xie Er trembled all over with fear. She clenched her tiny fists and shut her eyes tight.

Though severely injured and barely able to stand, Xie Jinxing gripped the whip and walked toward her.

But in the end, he only teased her, pretending to scare her off. He imitated the way she kissed flower petals and gently kissed the top of her head.

Covered in filth, he expected the girl to cry after his kiss. Instead, from then on, she was delighted whenever she saw him, chasing after him everywhere.

Ashamed of himself, Xie Jinxing dragged his bloodied lower body and warned her to stay away, but Xie Er refused.

After accomplishing her mission, Xie Er changed into coarse clothes, put on a thorn hairpin, and, before leaving, begged the true heiress to treat her half-brother well.

After surviving countless brushes with death in the political arena, Xie Jinxing returned with power in his hands, only to discover that his sister had been replaced.

By then, he could no longer suppress the demon that had lived in his heart for so long.

*

Xie Er thought that if she treated her half-brother a little better, perhaps he could set out on the right path in this life.

But she didn't know that a beam of light shining into darkness is a sin, and she would never escape again.

PS: The male and female leads are not related by blood. While they are together, they share only familial affection.

Coming soon 1: The Princess's Eunuch Husband

The Eleventh Princess, Zhou Xinruo, and Zhao Langci, the powerful chief eunuch of the court, have a bitter personal feud.

But to escape the fate of being sent away in a political marriage, she has no choice but to make herself his bed companion.

Zhou Xinruo knows that the wicked eunuch Zhao Langci hates being touched by women, so he needs a bed companion as a cover.

Once she persuades Zhao Langci to drive the Di Rong people back to their lair so they never dare invade again,

she rubs her little hands together. A gentleman's revenge may take ten years, but now it's time!

So when she hands him a hot towel to wash his hands, she secretly slips her hand into his embroidered sleeve.

When she combs his hair, she deliberately brushes the nape of his neck and the rim of his ear.

When she brings him water, she hides her grin in her sleeve and deliberately stumbles into his arms.

She sways her graceful waist beneath her damp clothes and shamelessly flutters her eyelashes at him, laughing inwardly.

You eunuch scoundrel, shocked? Just wait, I'll disgust you to death!

Who could have guessed that the powerful eunuch, who once wanted to cut off an entire hand just because a woman touched his fingertips,

would grab her waist in front of everyone and carry her back to his room?

His stunning, almost demonic face looked at her like she was prey he'd been stalking for ages. He smiled. "Since Your Highness asked for it, how could I refuse?"

·

A few months later, the unlucky little princess had a new problem.

She touched her stomach and sighed. "Should I expose him or not?"

A sudden gust rose behind her. She shivered as a chief eunuch's embroidered robe was draped over her shoulders.

"Expose him, of course..."

He casually tied the sash for her. "If Your Highness doesn't expose him, you'll start showing in another month. People will certainly point fingers and curse you."

The little princess looked up at his smiling, unreadable face and trembled.

Coming soon 2: After Losing My Memories, I Got Together with My Archrival

After a palace coup, the Duke of Ning's household was implicated, and Su Xixi, once the cherished flower of the family, was demoted to a commoner.

Her fiance got together with her cousin. Unwilling to bear the shame of being called a faithless man, he bribed people to dump her in the wilderness, where she was to become a bandit's wife.

Su Xixi fell and injured herself. When she woke up, she had lost her memory and mistook the bandit before her for the beloved man she had pursued unsuccessfully, according to her diary.

The man, forced to become a bandit, narrowed his eyes. He tossed aside the poison he'd prepared earlier and stared, at a loss, at the young woman shamelessly flirting with him, having completely forgotten who he was.

Su Xixi couldn't help reaching out with her slender fingers to stroke his firm waist. Her eyes shone.

The man stiffened, his face darkening. He gripped her soft chin in his calloused hand, his rough thumb rubbing until it hurt. "You really don't remember me?"

"Of course I remember. You're my dear big brother, the one I could spend eight lifetimes trying to love and still never love enough." She had to tip her head back, but her eyes shone.

·

Su Xixi chased after her "dear big brother," coming up with more and more sweet nothings to say to him.

Li Yi curled his lips and, to the shock of his subordinates, rolled up his sleeves to shovel manure and plant rice in the fields.

The low-ranking soldiers were moved to tears. "His Highness is a wise ruler who understands the people's hardships!"

Later, Crown Prince Li Yi was vindicated and returned to court. He restored the Duke's household's reputation and planned to marry the woman who had always stayed by his side.

Just as the bridal sedan was about to arrive, Su Xixi suddenly recovered her memories.

The former crown prince, Li Yi, was the man who had a bitter feud with her: she had once destroyed the work his late mother left behind, and, by a cruel twist of fate, caused him to be deposed!

Should she... should she run away?

Coming soon 3: Every Day, I Want My Prince Consort to Kill Me

Male lead's perspective:

Zuo Yuan returns from rebirth, bent on revenge. He swears that in this life, he will first kill the licentious princess who broke his leg and humiliated him in his previous life.

But he discovers that the licentious princess has started performing midnight rituals to repent for her misdeeds, and secretly helps him whenever he gets into trouble.

But...! Luckily, he was reborn. He won't be fooled so easily by a woman full of tricks.

·

Female lead's perspective:

Princess Yin Fu discovers that she's the villainess in a storybook. She's licentious, greedy, and lustful, and one day she'll die at the hands of the little beggar she took in and raised.

It turns out that the handsome little beggar before her is the remnant of the former dynasty, the one her father once tried to hunt down. He is the chosen one, the story's protagonist, and will one day bring down the Great Jin.

Yin Fu looks at Zuo Yuan, whose leg she just broke and for whom she was about to call a doctor to amputate it...

It turns out that no character in the story can escape their destined fate. But if the villain sincerely repents, secretly helps the protagonist without being discovered, accepts the story's predetermined ending, and completes the plot, they can change their fate and hide away to live freely.

So, late at night, Yin Fu secretly carries a pile of gold ingots and candles to a side hall and burns them as offerings to the former royal family, weeping as she repents.

She threatens the best imperial doctor in the palace with a knife and has him disguise himself as a quack to treat Zuo Yuan's leg.

When Zuo Yuan is desperate, she anonymously gives him a generous sum of money.

Even when Zuo Yuan plans to use her to gain military power, marry her, and then use her as a human medicine to save the woman he loves, Yin Fu cheerfully drinks a huge vat of herbal medicine every day. She doesn't even blink as she cuts off her own flesh and draws her blood, making everyone around her shudder.

Zuo Yuan stares at the empty vat, much larger than her frail body, as it rolls across the ground. He clenches his fists in frustration.

At last, the scene arrives in which the villainess is supposed to fulfill her destined role.

Yin Fu dresses carefully and arrives at the city tower with a bright smile.

At the last moment, Zuo Yuan regrets it. Covered in blood and wielding his halberd, he kills anyone who stands in his way and blocks the tower before her.

But Yin Fu still leaps down.
