Becoming My Ex's Older Sister's Contract Lover [September Launch]

Yu Wanzhao is the unloved child of her family. Her mother would rather look after the daughter of the woman she has always loved than spare Yu Wanzhao a glance.

Her family arranges for her to marry Yan Ran, the youngest daughter of the Yan family. Yan Ran is sweet-looking and playful, and she and Yu Wanzhao grew up together.

Facing the notorious Yu Wanzhao, Yan Ran takes her hand and says tenderly, "A Zhao, I don't care about any of that. I only care about you."

Yu Wanzhao decides that from now on, she will devote herself wholeheartedly to treating Yan Ran well.

But on the eve of their engagement, Yu Wanzhao unexpectedly finds her fiancee at home, tangled up with the daughter of her mother's beloved.

She hears her fiancee speak in a sickly sweet voice, nestled in another woman's arms:

"Yu Wanzhao? She's weak and useless, completely worthless! How could she ever compare to you?"

"As soon as I help you get those shares, I'll dump her."

Standing outside the door, Yu Wanzhao hears everything.

So all that warmth and affection had been nothing but a charade.

The engagement banquet never takes place. Everyone thinks Yan Ran abandoned Yu Wanzhao because she was useless.

At the height of the scandal, Yan Qinglan, graceful in bearing and elegant in every gesture, takes Yu Wanzhao to her villa and hands her a marriage contract.

Yu Wanzhao is confused. "Why me?"

Yan Qinglan remains composed. "My family is pressuring me to marry. Help me solve that problem, and I'll help you with your current troubles. We both get what we want."

--

Everyone in Shanghai's elite circles agrees that Yu Wanzhao and Yan Qinglan have a terrible relationship.

Yu Wanzhao is an incompetent second-generation rich kid with no achievements, disliked by her mother. Yan Qinglan, by contrast, is the powerful head of the Yan family, at the height of her influence and a standout among her peers.

What's more, rumors say that the last time they met years ago, they nearly came to blows.

Even Yu Wanzhao thinks Yan Qinglan proposed marriage to take the opportunity to avenge an old grudge.

But one morning, when Yu Wanzhao wakes up in an absurdly spacious bed, Yan Qinglan is still in her arms.

Bright red kiss marks stand out against her pale skin.

Yu Wanzhao's fingertips still remember the warm, soft sensations from last night, and her forearm aches faintly from overuse.

She thinks: Is this what Yan Qinglan's revenge looks like?

When Yan Ran hears that Yu Wanzhao has caught her cousin's eye, she thinks this is a good chance to win Yu Wanzhao back.

She arrives at Yu Wanzhao's home dressed to the nines and knocks. Her cousin opens the door, wearing a slightly loose shirt.

Yu Wanzhao wanders out of the bedroom, still bleary-eyed. Without even looking at Yan Ran, she hugs Yan Qinglan and nuzzles her. "Sis, why did you take my clothes?"

Yan Ran turns ashen, her eyes wide with rage.

For a long time, Yu Wanzhao doesn't believe Yan Qinglan really intends to marry her, and carefully keeps her feelings in check.

Later, she discovers that the necklace Yan Qinglan wears close to her skin conceals a photograph.

It's a picture of the two of them when they were young.
