My Brother and Me

Lin Lumin is the Shen family's fake heiress, but she's genuinely spoiled.

Everyone knows that her older brother, who rose to a powerful position at a young age, dotes on her more than anyone. And with Lin Lumin's natural beauty, suitors have practically worn a path to her door.

Lin Lumin may be haughty, but she has one weakness: the moment she sees a handsome face, she can't look away!

With it time for her to discuss marriage, Lin Lumin had already picked out a young, handsome general. His rank might not be high yet, but his family had a good standing, and most importantly, he was good-looking! He was only a little less handsome than her older brother!

Lin Lumin insisted she wanted to marry him and met with him many times in private. She thought the match was perfect for both of them, but not long afterward, she saw him with her own eyes, embracing another woman in a most improper manner!

Furious, Lin Lumin decided to choose another husband. But she soon discovered that every man she took a fancy to was either a philanderer or impotent. Each one had some sort of problem...

The more Lin Lumin thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She ran to her older brother, Shen Xunqing, and cried, "Is my taste really that bad?"

Her brother, usually icy and aloof in public, gently gathered her hair in his hands and replied in a cool voice, "They're not good enough for you."

Later, her former lover came to explain the misunderstanding between them. Lin Lumin wanted to give him another chance, but her older brother strongly objected.

"He has nothing going on with that woman. He told me so!"

After several attempts to explain failed, Lin Lumin blurted out, "In any case, I'm already carrying his child. He's the only one I'll ever marry!"

At that, her usually composed older brother suddenly clamped his hand around her wrist as if he'd gone mad, and demanded, "When did this happen? Why didn't I know?"

Lin Lumin stared at him in a daze. Only then did she realize she might have uncovered something she was never meant to know...

-

Shen Xunqing knew that Lin Lumin was his younger sister. He had brought her back to the Shen family when she was seven and raised her with his own hands.

She was stubborn and would never put up with being wronged, yet she insisted on getting married and leaving home.

How could she know that once she married, she would inevitably have to swallow her bitterness and make compromises?

What man in this world could treat her like his own little sister?

Little sister... little sister...

Why couldn't there be two words in this world that were written as "wife" but spoken as "little sister"...
