[A beloved former sister-in-law who loves dancing on every landmine VS a seemingly gentle but truly sinister villainous elder brother-in-law]
Shen Yiran, a young man of impeccable character, transmigrated into a book and became a disposable love interest who was obsessed with the protagonist gong. Even after losing a leg and his life, he remained hopelessly devoted.
Shen Yiran rolled his eyes. It was practically unheard of for a lovesick fool to go this far, and his own life was just as uniquely miserable.
Fortunately, Heaven wasn't entirely heartless and gave him a "Goodwill Collection System."
But why was this System so useless? It didn't offer a single magic pill or golden finger.
To survive, Shen Yiran had no choice but to publicly demand a divorce, then turn around and cling to the villainous elder brother-in-law.
As the eldest legitimate son of the Empress, Luo Changheng should have had a smooth path to the throne. Instead, his entire maternal family was wiped out, and he suffered terribly. He thought he was destined to walk through life alone in darkness. Little did he know Heaven had shown him mercy by giving him the love of his life: his former younger brother's wife.
What a forbidden romance.
When they first met:
Shen Yiran: "Your Highness, Prince Heng. I would be honored to serve you."
Luo Changheng raised an eyebrow and sneered. "Serve me? Does my younger brother know? Besides, Prince Heng's residence has no use for idlers."
His expression was cold, but the System's timely "Goodwill +1" gave away his true feelings.
Later:
Shen Yiran: "Once you have achieved your ambitions, could you give me some money and let me resign and retire?"
System: "Goodwill + ID number! Obsession +1! +2! +100... Warning: confinement room!"
Luo Changheng's eyes reddened. "Xiao Deng'er, just try leaving!"
Later still:
On the vast imperial bed:
"Your Majesty, isn't it an outrageous act to do this with your younger brother's wife? Does your dear younger brother know?"
Luo Changheng silenced that sharp-tongued mouth, his gaze burning. "She was your former sister-in-law. Call me something sweet, and I'll let you off tonight."
Shen Yiran's lips curved. Leaning close to Luo Changheng's ear, he spoke in a clear, enticing voice, but the two words he uttered were enough to infuriate him: "Elder brother-in-law~"
His light shines bright, warm to the touch. Having him is my good fortune. I would give everything and spend my whole life asking only to have him, keep him to myself, protect him, and love him for all time.
--Luo Changheng
