[This Novel's Description]

The day Ji He learned the truth about her birth, her mother was gravely ill and beyond treatment. Her stepmother wanted to marry her off as a second wife to a sixty-year-old marquis.

Rain poured outside. Her princely younger brother, who had always been close to her, arranged to meet her at a desolate villa.

The candlelight flickered as warm incense drifted through the air.

Her heart fluttered, but before she could react, someone wrapped an arm around her waist.

Ji Shu's eyes were dark as he stroked her cheek. "I'll help you, Elder Sister, but you have to give yourself to me in exchange."

Everyone knew Ji Shu, the young heir of the Prince Zheng's household,

was as refined and gentle as the moon and a soft breeze,

most respectful of propriety and tradition,

a model of an aristocratic gentleman.

But only Ji He had seen him lose control and go mad, stopping at nothing to get what he wanted

That night, on a desolate road swept by bitter wind,

a familiar pair of boots stopped before the fleeing, bedraggled Ji He.

He draped his cloak over her thin, trembling shoulders and clasped her chin between his long fingers. "Elder Sister, I told you those people don't truly care for you or love you. Only I can make you happy..."

"Why won't you believe me?"

Later, in the villa on the prince's estate,

Ji Shu took her hand and pressed it against the wound she had given him.

Blood seeped through the bandages. Its warmth stung Ji He's hand, but he smiled with satisfaction.

"You didn't stab me deeply enough, so I gave myself another cut."

"Now... can you stop leaving me, Elder Sister?"

My next novel will be After My Obsessive Imperial Brother Kills My Husband and Takes Me by Force.

In the third year after Song Yushu was sent away for a political marriage, the Chen army broke through the gates of Jisang Palace. A raging inferno consumed the entire palace.

Amid the towering flames, she saw a familiar figure seated upright on a tall horse, his posture straight and imposing, armor covering him, a bloodied sword in hand as he looked down upon everything.

But when he saw her, the bloodlust in his eyes faded, replaced by the joy of finding what he had lost, like a withered tree returning to life in spring.

He was the new emperor of Chen, her imperial brother.

Later, her ex-husband, who had been fleeing from place to place, appeared and clamped her tightly against him as a bargaining chip.

Shuo Heng sneered at Song Zheng. "If you want to kill me, you'll have to kill your sister first. We husband and wife will die togeth, "

Before he could finish the word "die," a sharp blade cut his throat. Warm, scarlet blood splashed across Song Yushu's beautiful, pale face.

The heavy stench of blood overwhelmed her senses. Song Yushu's legs gave way, and she fell into someone's broad chest.

As consciousness clouded, she heard him say in a low voice, "She will only ever be my wife."

Only then did she realize her imperial brother had harbored such feelings!

Song Yushu wanted to run away. She even secretly went to ask the Empress Dowager to arrange a marriage for her.

But he bound her hands and feet and threw her onto the red-curtained bed!

Song Zheng held her chin and murmured, "My Yushu wants to get married again."

Song Yushu guiltily avoided his gaze and timidly called him, "Imperial Brother..." in an attempt to beg for his mercy.

But the man's rough thumb rubbed hard over her tender lips, and a glint of cold light flashed in Song Zheng's eyes.

Riiip! The sound of fabric tearing rang through the entire bedchamber.

"So Yushu would marry anyone. She just won't marry me."

"Then for every man you marry, I'll wipe out his entire clan. How does that sound?"

A meek, mild-mannered sister who adores her brother × an obsessive sister-loving man with an overwhelming need for control

The heroine is not a virgin, but the hero is / age gap / not blood-related / she has an ex-husband, but no love for him

Theme: Chase the light, embrace the light, become the light.
