● Leopard woman x ambitious schemer

"Sister-in-law, something happened to my brother. Now am I finally allowed to be your man?"

For the first twenty-odd years of her life, Shi Qing got everything she wanted, and she wanted the best of everything, including her fiancé.

Even the Hong Kong media praised her as the ultimate winner.

Her fiancé came from a prominent family, was handsome and refined, and was completely willing to do her bidding. Shi Qing was satisfied.

But nobody knew that the man standing closest to her at the engagement banquet was actually her fiancé's younger brother.

"Miss Shi, my brother is still making the rounds toasting the guests." The whole Qin family called Shi Qing their future sister-in-law, but he refused to change how he addressed her.

A gaze flickered toward them from nearby, full of adoration.

It was Shi Qing's fiancé.

The man lightly steadied her by the waist, keeping a gentlemanly distance, but his voice wouldn't let her go. "My brother is looking over. Are you afraid?"

"Qin Junlin, you forgot. You're supposed to call me sister-in-law." Shi Qing's eyelid twitched.

In the next moment, the man curled his lips, his words carrying a double meaning. "Stand firm."

Shi Qing's heart immediately pounded like a drum.

In the changing room, she deliberately made things difficult for him, ordering him to kneel and put on her shoes. To her surprise, without a word, the man dropped to one knee, clasped the arch of her foot, and drew her toward him.

He really did whatever she told him to.

But she had never imagined that the hand gripping the top of her foot...

Would never let go again.

The Qin family's second young master, Qin Junlin, was born unruly.

On Hong Kong Island, no matter how ruthless or well-connected you were, you had to hold back a little when you came face-to-face with Qin Junlin.

On the eve of his brother's engagement, Qin Junlin returned to Hong Kong and unexpectedly ran into Shi Qing, who had come to visit the Qin family.

The light seemed especially fond of Shi Qing, dazzling Qin Junlin until the corners of his eyes stung.

So she was the daughter of the Shi family, and the woman he had been searching for all these years.

It was just a pity that she was now his brother's fiancée.

But... this is a winner-takes-all game. So what if she's his brother's woman?

If he wants her, he'll just take her.

"It took Qin Junlin a long time to understand:

Falling into this relationship was like a giant ship sinking to the bottom of the sea. There was no turning back."

☆Both leads are each other's first and only.☆

Reader's guide: The story concept dates to August 20, 2023; the trope dates to September 28, 2023; this novel had already been drafted in January 2024. Several versions of the blurb were revised, and screenshots exist. The final line of the blurb adapts the meaning of the phrase "sinking ship."

The setting is highly fictionalized. Descriptions of specialized fields serve the plot, so please just enjoy the story. Thanks for your understanding!

The entire setting is fictional. Please don't compare it to real people.

Ordinary romance novels have plenty of logical flaws. This story may not suit readers with very strict preferences.

The author isn't from a Cantonese-speaking region. New and old terms may be mixed in the story, so proceed with caution if that bothers you.

Important:

The brothers are not related by blood. In the first half of the story, the heroine encourages competition between the hero and the second male lead. None of the characters are perfect people. While the heroine is still engaged to the second male lead, she has no feelings for the hero, and her engagement to the second male lead is not legally binding!

Hope you enjoy the story, ladies!
