After Picking the Wrong Book, the Male Lead Lured Me In

Xie Yu was a wild child, skinny and quiet. At a young age, his adoptive father sold him to the Chen family, a family of hunters, to carry on their line.

Rumor had it that Chen Wu was a towering brute with fists like cooking pots, able to break a sapling with one punch. He could beat people up without anyone daring to come to his door to demand compensation.

Xie Yu thought his life was hopeless. He could only pray that one day, when Chen Wu was in a bad mood, she would put him out of his misery.

But when the bridal veil was lifted on their wedding night, the face before him was handsome and striking.

The fearsome brute said to make children cry at night smiled warmly and gently patted his shoulder. "I know you don't like me. Once the land has been divided up, I'll set you free."

"I'll even set you up with a shop. We'll tell people you're my younger brother."

Xie Yu had no idea why this woman was nothing like the rumors, but his eyes lit up at once.

Chen Yi started her own business and made it to the top of the young rich list before turning thirty. Just as she was starting to think about her love life, she suddenly transmigrated into a book.

The protagonist of the book was named Xie Yu. He was actually a princess who had fallen into hardship after being lost among the common people. But he was no pushover: after poisoning his villainous wife, he used her inheritance to go into business. In the end, he was recognized by the royal family and married the crown princess.

Unfortunately, Chen Yi had transmigrated into Chen Wu, the cannon-fodder wife, and opened her eyes standing beside the male lead's wedding bed.

Thinking of the original Chen Wu's gruesome death, she immediately dropped to her knees, speaking gently and treating the male lead with the utmost care. She said she would treat him like her younger brother, but in practice, she might as well have been his doting mother.

"I'll cover the household expenses. You just save your money. You'll need it for your future wife!"

"Good little brother, if you meet a girl you like, make sure you tell your big sister. We'll have her marry into our family."

"Hey, don't be scared, little brother. Big Sis will chase away all the bad women for you."

Their life kept getting better, and the male lead's gaze grew warmer by the day. Chen Yi felt wonderful.

As expected of her: she could become the male lead's best big sister, even when he was a Black Widow!

Chen Yi cheerfully picked up a jug of wine, planning to find the male lead and talk about their plans for the future.

Instead, she ran into a pretty young woman in a dress, who was reaching out to take Xie Yu's hand. Xie Yu looked calm and made no move to pull away.

Smash!

The wine jug hit the ground and shattered.

Chen Yi strode over and shoved Xie Yu behind her, her voice rising despite her best efforts: "What are you doing to my wife!!!!"

The young woman looked confused.

Only then did Chen Yi realize how awkward this was.

Wait, wasn't she supposed to be the male lead's older sister now?

But then Xie Yu's cool fingers suddenly slipped into her palm.

Chen Yi immediately stopped thinking about it.

A romantic big sister was still a big sister, and they were already married!
