Spring Tide, Urgent Desire

Fake step-siblings x rekindled love x coercive love

After Su Shanzhi's father died when she was seven, she and her younger brother moved between various relatives' homes. Eventually, she returned to her old home, where she struggled through life until she was seventeen.

One day, a woman who introduced herself as Mrs. Huo called her. "Shanzhi, bring your brother to Hong Kong City. Mom will take care of you."

Mrs. Huo was her biological mother. She had abandoned her husband and two children, married into a wealthy family in Hong Kong City, and become the third wife of its richest man. Now she lived a life of luxury.

Mrs. Huo said, "Shanzhi, from now on you'll enjoy the good life. Mom won't abandon you. Your stepfather will dote on you, and your three brothers will spoil you."

Standing behind Mrs. Huo, Su Shanzhi listened as she quietly introduced everyone. Her timid eyes, however, were secretly sizing up the brothers watching her from the living room.

The second brother was elegant and refined, gentle and scholarly, but chronically sickly.

The third brother was rebellious and unruly. He'd once foolishly lost 170 million dollars in a single night.

The eldest brother was stern and old-fashioned, and held the reins of the family. He was the designated heir, and the man who had gone to bring her here. He had warned her not to cause trouble once she arrived at the Huo house, and especially not to try any schemes like her mother.

One stormy night, in the study.

"Schemes? Brother, what counts as a scheme?" Su Shanzhi straddled the man, his face dark with anger, and traced the sharp contours of his face with a fingertip. "Does this count?"

Huo Chenqian gripped her waist, his eyes cold and harsh. "Shanzhi, if you provoke me, don't go provoking Jingheng or Yaoting too."

"Otherwise, I'll lock you away forever."

Warnings:

1. The male lead is the eldest brother, Huo Chenqian. All the men are virgins. The heroine will have emotional entanglements with other men, but the ending is a happy one-to-one pairing with the eldest brother.

2. The heroine's mother and the male lead's father never registered their marriage. They aren't on the same household register, so there is no legally recognized familial relationship.

3. The heroine has low moral standards, while the male lead has high moral standards. Major warning in bold: the heroine will approach and use the male lead of her own accord!

4. It's a melodramatic story. The more outrageous the twists, the better.
