[Updated daily, chapters in stock. Please add it to your favorites, much love ❤️]

After her parents died, Li Niang took her child to Jinling to seek refuge with her late husband's family.

On the way, she was tricked into a brothel.

Her brother-in-law hurried over after hearing the news, only to find her being harassed while wearing revealing clothes.

After returning to Jinling, Li Niang dreamed every night.

She dreamed that her brother-in-law scornfully told others she had fallen into a brothel.

The respect people had shown her for remaining faithful to her husband turned to disgust and contempt.

The Pei family couldn't tolerate a woman with a tarnished reputation and a reputation for infidelity.

With no one to support her, she was thrown out, and even forbidden from seeing her daughter!

She woke with a start.

No!

She hadn't enjoyed the good life long enough. She couldn't let herself get thrown out like that!

So the first thing she did every morning was ask:

"Where is my brother-in-law going today?"

"Does my brother-in-law have any plans today?"

"Is my brother-in-law meeting anyone or discussing anything today?"

She had to make absolutely sure he never let the secret slip!

Pei Yingguang had never been well liked by his family, because his birth had left his mother blind. Only his older brother treated him well.

When he was thirteen, his brother married a woman with a slender waist and a willowy figure.

He disliked her. She was pampered and greedy for comfort.

She wanted good food, fine lodgings, and a soft bed.

If she so much as twisted her ankle, she'd look at his brother with teary eyes until he carried her.

How could someone like that be worthy of his brother?

Later, his brother died, and her parents died too.

Alone and helpless, she looked at him with tearful, pitiful eyes.

"Brother-in-law, you're the only person I have left to rely on."

A rumble in his chest left his heart feeling strangely empty.

Until the day she shyly brought up the subject of marrying again?

Li Niang lowered her head, bashful. "Yinliang has been gone for years, and you're about to be engaged. My position in the household is awkward. I should find another husband."

She raised her head, her bright eyes full of expectation. "You've been so good to me, brother-in-law. You'll help me, won't you?"

"Of course... not."

Clenching the fist behind his back, he let out a scoff.

PS:

1. The age gap is four years.

2. The female lead has had other partners; the male lead has not. One-on-one romance.

3. She has a daughter with her late husband and will not have more children.
