[Currently updating: Historical Romance, Don't Give Up the Moon and Wind. Please add it to your collection!]
Before her husband's death, Liang Yun had no idea he had a twin brother.
What she could never have imagined was that she would be inherited, along with the family estate, by a brother-in-law she had never met.
Her in-laws urged her to go along with it, saying it was all to protect the family's legacy from its enemies. Liang Yun only needed to guide Chou Yanqing in his daily life; she was not expected to fulfill her duties as his wife.
At first, Liang Yun refused, but the moment she saw Chou Yanqing, she was captivated by his features, which were ninety percent identical to her late husband's. She helped him deceive everyone and convincingly play the part of his elder brother.
Chou Yanqing had known since childhood that he had a twin brother. Everyone who met him said, "Your nature is impetuous. Even if you look alike, you can't hold a candle to your brother."
Even worse, after his brother died, the Chou family still arranged for Liang Yun to teach him how to be a convincing fake.
He came to hate her too. If she was the dignified, graceful virtuous wife in everyone's eyes, then he would lead her astray and drag her down from her pedestal.
When he visited her that night, he feigned hurt and embraced her with ulterior motives. "Why not just treat me as if I were him? It would bring comfort to both of us..."
He schemed his way into becoming Liang Yun's real husband, but then she learned the true reason he had returned to the Chou family.
So she told him he couldn't even play a substitute properly, arranged a concubine for him, and asked for a divorce herself.
When Chou Yanqing saw her again, another man was standing by her side. Furious, he demanded, "You said I couldn't play the substitute properly. What makes him more like my big brother than I am?"
She didn't answer then. Later, he finally understood that loving someone didn't mean you had to treat them as someone else's substitute.
She had simply never loved Chou Yanqing.
#Sister-in-law, open the door. It's me, your brother's brother#
Reader's guide:
* Female lead is not a virgin; male lead is a substitute; happy ending

Xi Yin has a secret: she loves a monk.
The monk found her after she got lost and raised her from the age of six to sixteen.
She can repay him however she likes, because she is a princess. She can ask her father to give the monk the finest things in the world, including herself.
But he doesn't want her. Even if he leaves the monastery and marries her, it will only be to comply with the irresistible will of heaven.
Later, Xi Yin learns that on the night she came to the capital with the womenfolk at the age of six, her father had the previous dynasty's emperor executed in front of the palace hall and seized the throne.
That night, the former crown prince escaped death by shaving his head and disguising himself as a monk, with the help of his trusted retainers.
The crown prince eluded the troops searching for him along the way. But when he entered the mountains, he came across the tracks of rebel carts. Following the tracks, he looked out across the snow and saw a little girl on the verge of freezing to death by the roadside.
*
Only after the monk restored his homeland and ascended the throne did Xi Yin learn the truth.
As the court and country were thrown into turmoil and her family fell, even the monk she loved became a stranger, the new emperor...
At a loss, she looked down at her growing belly and resolved to flee the deception she had once accepted with open arms.
"Male lead's perspective"
On their wedding night, the princess was tipsy. Smiling at him, she said, "Yuanjing, from now on, you're my consort. Hurry and say you're happy, just as happy as I am."
"If Your Highness is happy, then I am happy."
She thought he was indulging her. In truth, it was the happiest night of his life in ten years, so happy that he wanted to betray everything and take her away from this mortal world.
He thought that if she hated him one day, he would set her free and let her leave.
But when that day truly came, he changed his mind.

I rushed to post it in April and didn't have time to revise it. I'll get up and revise it tomorrow. The writing in this book is really about working on the questions. If you get stuck, think of solutions. It is also a kind of exercise. You don't seek perfection, just completion. From an experience point of view, you should benefit from it in the future 💔. So thank you very much to the readers who followed the article! This update frequency is purely out of trust for me to read the novel, but I am not confident that I am satisfied with the writing of this novel. I can only say that I will use the experience of this novel to write the next more satisfying novel. Compare your heart! [Rose]
This book is really good. I am not convinced by this data orz
Thank you to my wife for insisting on finishing this book. The number of words is not that many in Jinjiang nowadays, but the story line is complete. I really like how the male protagonist wanted revenge at first but still wanted to be loved so he gave up revenge, and the female protagonist was reluctant to let the male protagonist play his brother for the rest of his life and finally found a way to let the male protagonist change his name and do his own plot. For me, this is the highlight of this article. After all, it is the mutual warmth and redemption of two poor people who have not received a lot of love TT
The people watching here are so moved. Yun'er is really good. If I were Yanzi, I would definitely be moved by her. The word "condition" sounds selfish. Everyone hopes to gain benefits for themselves, but Yun'er used this opportunity to exchange Qing back, 😭. Although Zai Qing was also willing to give up herself for Yun... Two entangled and miserable people, they fell in love among the thorns, pricking each other with thorns all over their bodies, and finally shed their shells, burning the thorns together. I really like the author's metaphor of the male and female protagonists, Magnolia and Green Snake... Then I discovered that Qiu Yanqing's emphasis is on Qing, while Liang Yun's Yun is a bit close to jade, which is wonderful...
The Chinese New Year is approaching and the time is very fragmented. Now there is only one big plot left. I will write it all and then publish it, so that everyone can not be so tired of chasing it. This spring will be finished in one breath.
Is Brother going to be unfrozen and unearthed? 🥺
Finally both of them opened up. . I felt so uncomfortable reading the first few dozen chapters.
The best revenge is to destroy the prison and sublimate it 😭
Although it is short, the story line is basically complete, and it is still interesting to watch. There won't be any extras?
