My Possessive Uncle Refuses to Let Go

[Updated irregularly while filling in the story]

On the day of Princess Yi'an's engagement banquet, the whole city of Jiangzhou was stirred. Countless powerful nobles rushed to offer their congratulations, and Shen Dai was the center of attention.

After drinking too much at the banquet, Shen Dai went out with her maid to get some air. As she reached the lakeside rockery, a wall of iron suddenly crashed into her.

She looked up and saw a handsome, refined face, somewhat blurred but startlingly familiar. Fear, mingled with the effects of the wine, swept over her, and her body began to sink for no reason.

The young man opposite her reached out in time to catch her. A chilly force gradually circled her waist, forcing Shen Dai one step forward until she was pressed against his chest.

"It's been so long, sister-in-law. Why are you trembling?"

That familiar voice brought back memories of two years ago, and of the thing Shen Dai regretted most in her life...

*

Two years ago, Shen Dai had left the palace for an outing and shared a brief affair with Pei Qingzhou.

Back then, he was still a simple, innocent little blind man. Though she had enjoyed his company, their difference in status was too great. After a month, Shen Dai left behind a chest of silver and vanished without a word.

Two years later, Shen Dai never expected the little blind man to reappear before her, let alone become her future... brother-in-law.

Feeling guilty, Shen Dai repeatedly gave way as Pei Qingzhou approached her time and again. Only when she had nowhere left to retreat did she harden her heart and tell him plainly:

"I was young and foolish back then. Now I'm going to marry your elder brother. I'm no longer the Princess Yi'an who toyed with people's hearts. From now on, I only want to be a good person."

The man couldn't help laughing at that. He pressed closer, driving her into a cramped corner, then forcefully lifted her chin and said viciously, "You want to be his devoted wife and good partner. Then what was I to you back then?"

"You want to cut ties with me, sister, but I won't let you have your way!"

[Reading Guide]

1. The female lead has had previous partners; the male lead is a virgin. Old-school melodramatic romance with a happy ending.

2. A possessive, coercive romance. The heroine is stubborn, and the hero is a mad dog. If this isn't your thing, don't force yourself to read it.

3. The heroine and the second male lead have a marriage in name only, with no intimacy. But she has been intimate with someone else before, so she is not a virgin.

[The romance only begins after their relationship ends]

Ye Lanxi was born into lowly circumstances, but she had a face everyone adored.

Using her looks, she first persuaded Ye Xuanhe to take her home and grant her the status of a legitimate daughter of the Ye family. Then she coaxed her nominal elder brother into plotting tirelessly to secure her a place as empress.

Once married, she became empress, ruling over all beneath The Outcast. Ye Lanxi had finally achieved her dream. But before she had been empress for even half a year, the emperor suddenly died in the palace, and she became a prisoner.

In the moment before her death, Ye Lanxi thought bitterly that if she could live again, she would choose as her husband the man with the best prospects of ascending the throne.

After being reborn, Ye Lanxi still refused to give up on her dream of becoming empress. She abandoned her husband from her previous life and turned to curry favor with another man.

All of this fell into the eyes of her legitimate elder brother, Ye Xuanhe.

-

Ye Xuanhe had made two mistakes in his life:

First, he had taken pity on Ye Lanxi and brought her home that year.

Second, he had later watched helplessly as she went astray.

Living his life over again, he looked at the younger sister who was still unmarried but already moving between different men. For the first time, anger showed on his usually gentle face.

-

Later, everyone in the capital spread the story that the legitimate daughter of the Ye family had died of illness on the eve of her wedding. It was a truly tragic loss.

But no one knew that in the endless nights that followed, Ye Lanxi would beg her former elder brother again and again to let her go.

But how could a mad dog driven to the brink ever willingly release the lovely flower he had found again?
