A gentle older sister heals a tea-green little wolf-dog brother

Delicate little widow VS cold-faced, rugged man

Jiang Suisui was lovely and beautiful, and every frown and smile of hers could captivate the soul. But she had a meek, dough-like disposition. At home she obeyed her father, and after marriage she obeyed her husband. She had never made a decision for herself.

After graduating from high school, she followed her parents' arrangements and married the youngest son of the town mayor. For a girl from a farming family like her, it was like a sparrow turning into a phoenix, and everyone envied her.

Only after marrying into the family did she discover that although the mayor's family was well-off, her mother-in-law was truly difficult to deal with. Add in several sisters-in-law who fought like roosters, and Jiang Sुisui's life was hardly easy.

Fortunately, although her husband was unreliable, he was very protective of her. As long as he was around, he never let her get bullied much. Two years into their marriage, she became pregnant.

She thought their days would continue in peaceful happiness, but her husband lost his life in a brawl.

She became a widow while pregnant and gave birth prematurely. Her mother-in-law, who favored boys over girls, treated her harshly, calling her an ill omen who had caused her husband's death. Her sisters-in-law also called her a temptress and an immoral woman because their husbands had looked at her a few times. They wished they could drive her out of the house.

Helpless, she wanted to return to her parents' home for help, but her parents and brothers and sisters-in-law refused, saying that once a woman married, she belonged to her husband's family, and obeying the Three Obediences and Four Virtues was her duty.

Her daughter was not yet a year old. She could only swallow her tears and return to that devouring in-law household to eke out a miserable existence.

But while she was sent away to work, her daughter, not yet three, tragically died.

Alone, surrounded by wolves, she had no way to protect herself.

She died an agonizing death at the age of thirty.

Reborn in a new life, she soaked her pillow with tears, but her gaze grew resolute. If she couldn't depend on anyone else, then she would depend on herself.

When she was stranded far from home, anxious and at a loss, she ran into Song Bozhou, an old classmate who drove a freight truck. The man was imposing and stern, and kept women at a distance.

As she hesitated over whether to ask him for help, he spotted her at a glance, disguised and inconspicuous among the crowd. His deep, resonant voice came from the truck.

"Jiang Suisui, get in."

Song Bozhou had lost both his parents as a child and was raised by his older brother and sister-in-law. He was cold and distant, and besides his brother and sister-in-law, the only person in his heart was the lovely, innocent, kind-hearted Jiang Suisui.

But she was pure and untouchable, far beyond his reach. After much hardship, he finally got the chance to enlist. He secretly vowed that once he had made something of himself, he would return and marry her.

He never expected the years to pass and circumstances to change, and for her to marry someone else.

Fortunately, the man was a short-lived wretch with no good fortune. This time, he would never let her get away...

A gentle older sister heals a tea-green little wolf-dog brother

Wen Rou had just finished her college entrance exams when she transmigrated into the eldest daughter of a dual-income family in the seventies. The good part was that her parents in this world looked exactly like the parents who had died in a car accident when she was young, and she now had two adorable younger siblings.

The bad part was that, in response to the nation's call, her family had to send someone to the countryside. Her parents wanted to give her their jobs, but the factory manager's son sabotaged them. Her thirteen-year-old brother wanted to alter his age and go to the countryside in her place, but she refused. That left her with only two choices: go to the countryside or get married.

Of course she chose to go to the countryside! She knew the college entrance exams would resume in two years. With her parents sending her a monthly allowance, she only had to hold on for two years before she could go to university and leave.

She never expected to meet Shen Yu in the countryside, a scientist who would one day take advanced technology to the United States. His reputation had always been controversial. Some cursed him as a traitor, some lamented that a genius like him couldn't serve his homeland, and others said he went abroad because he had been mistreated as a child...

The man who appeared on the news was composed and refined. Even close to seventy, he stood tall and carried himself with grace. But... could this pitiful boy, often sporting bruises, shorter than her, and always looking at her with those watery puppy eyes, really be Shen Yu too???

Wen Rou's heart softened. She thought she could treat him like a younger brother and take care of him, at least making his childhood a little easier. It would be even better if he could stay in his homeland and serve his country in the future.

She didn't notice that the puppy growing up by her side had already turned into a wolf-dog who coveted her. The scheming man would even use his pitiful appearance to win her affection and drive away her suitors.

By the time she realized what was happening, he had already become involved in every aspect of her life, letting her grow beneath his protective wings.

Little Scene:

One day, a young male intellectual who had been pursuing Wen Rou for a long time confronted Shen Yu. "Can you stop shamelessly clinging to Wen Rou under the pretense of being her little brother? Don't think I can't see through your little schemes!"

The youth, usually so gentle and harmless in front of Wen Rou, gave him a challenging smile and said maliciously, "What does that have to do with you, idiot?"

The young intellectual, furious, punched him. But instead of dodging, Shen Yu went with the blow and fell to the ground.

"Why did you hit him?" Wen Rou rushed over, shoved the young intellectual away, and snapped angrily.

"Sister, don't blame him. He just wants me to stay away from you. He's afraid I'll be a burden. It's my fault for being useless and needing you to look after me." The youth's watery eyes reddened slightly, his gaze full of pure, wounded innocence.

"Get out of here, and don't come looking for me again!" The usually good-tempered Wen Rou rarely lost her temper, but now she did.

The young intellectual fell over in shock...
