But I'm in Love with Your Brother

Two groveling chases + stealing someone's partner + forced love

Jiang Muye, heir to the Jiang family, has a tagalong lackey. He summons her when he wants and dismisses her when he is done.

Their friends all know Yu Yue likes him, but Jiang Muye never admits it. He simply enjoys her devoted attention while treating her as a backup.

Everyone thinks Yu Yue has no self-respect, letting him trample on her sincere feelings, yet remaining hopelessly devoted and refusing to leave.

Finally, at Jiang Muye's birthday party, Yu Yue arranges the 9,999 roses she grew by hand into a heart and pushes them into the center of the hall.

When everyone sees the wounds on her fingers from the thorns, they are shocked and sneer at her for overestimating herself and actually planning to confess to Jiang Muye.

Jiang Muye spotted the roses long ago. Annoyed by her public "ultimatum," he hasn't given her a single smile since the party began.

She hates it when he is unhappy. As long as he ignores her, she will do whatever he asks and give up any demands of her own.

Jiang Muye holds his wineglass, lounging as he waits for her to apologize like she always does.

But to his surprise, Yu Yue pushes the roses in front of his older brother, who has just returned from abroad, and confesses to him loudly, her expression more radiant than he has ever seen.

"Chen Zhong, I've taken good care of your family. He already thinks of me as one of them. Can you keep your promise and marry me now?"

As Jiang Chen Zhong's only family, Jiang Muye's wineglass suddenly strikes the edge of the table. Glass shards pierce his palm, and blood mingles with the wine, dripping down in a crimson pool. But his eyes are even redder.

Jiang Muye never imagined Yu Yue would deliberately keep her distance from him, or that he would no longer be the only person she looked at.

He never imagined that at her engagement party, he would sneak into her dressing room, lock the door, and corner her, his eyes clouded with rage, yet unable to decide what to accuse her of.

His fingertips brush her soft lips. The first thing he asks is, "Has he kissed you?"

His frenzied jealousy peaks in an instant, and he smears her lipstick with a kiss.

He grips her resisting wrists and smiles like a madman crawling through the damp darkness.

"Find a way to fall in love with me, or I'll open that door right now and count how many times we've kissed, right in front of him."

Yu Yue has never cared about romance. She only wants to escape her parasitic family and find herself someone to rely on.

She never expected to provoke a madman.

Reader advisories:

1. Both leads are sexually inexperienced.

2. The heroine doesn't actually love anyone.

3. No picking a love interest, but there is male rivalry. The male lead will not change.

4. None of the characters are perfect. Readers looking for pure goodness should steer clear.

Theme: Every act of giving is rewarded.
