My Gorgeous Stepmom and Me

[Told from the male lead's perspective, past and present unfold in parallel, both leads are reborn]

[When a beautiful young stepmother meets a domineering young master]

/He thought he'd won her, never realizing he'd fallen into her trap long ago./

In his previous life, Duan Qiyu made a mistake: he fell for Wei Xilou when he shouldn't have.

He went abroad to study and stayed away from home for years. When he finally came back, it was for his father's funeral. He'd heard that his father had taken another concubine, but in the midst of his grief, he only glanced at her in passing.

She was a beautiful woman, her hair pinned up with a little white flower. She wore white mourning clothes for his father, tears glistening on the verge of falling, looking utterly pitiful.

Duan Qiyu thought that his young stepmother looked lovely in plain white. If not for their relationship, he would have loved to pull her into his arms and comfort her.

Then his young stepmother came into his room, wearing a short lace dress with a seductive open back. Her protruding belly could no longer be concealed, and her legs were faintly visible beneath the sheer white skirt, utterly alluring.

Her advances were obvious. She climbed onto him, her slender, soft hands clinging around his neck, and said intimately, "I have no one to rely on in this household. Would you take me in, Eldest Young Master?"

"Look, I'm not bad-looking. You like me too, don't you?"

Duan Qiyu's gaze fell on her belly. He gave no answer, only leaning close to her ear. "If you want me to support you, get rid of that old man's child first."

The young woman sat on his lap, one hand covering her belly and the other resting lightly on his shoulder. She lowered her dull eyes and agreed. "All right."

Their arrangement lasted three years before it was exposed, leaving him a stray dog with nowhere to go.

Notes:

◎ The male lead and his father are not related by blood.

◎ Before their present-day relationship is resolved, the leads will not cross the line.

◎ The story opens with them reborn. There was a misunderstanding in their previous life, and the child is the male lead's. Any coercive love and provocative language are just part of their kink. Both leads are sexually inexperienced in this life. In their previous life, the male lead was a virgin, while the female lead was not.
