Everyday Married Life with My Sister-in-Law

[Title and blurb are tentative, but the premise won't change]

At his father's arrangement, Sang Xu got married.

His spouse was a man six years younger than him,

and his former fiance's younger brother.

Facing the hot-tempered young man, whose face was always full of anger, Sang Xu sighed with worry.

Though Sang Xu was a little saddened by how much his husband seemed to hate their marriage,

he thought of his former fiance and indulged and doted on his husband as if he were a younger brother.

As time passed, he was pleased to find that his husband seemed to hate him less.

Until one night, Sang Xu woke up for no apparent reason and discovered that his husband, who should have been sleeping in the next room, was holding him tightly in his arms.

One day, much later, Sang Xu found an old, yellowed diary at home.

March 9

"This is so annoying. I got married to my brother's boyfriend. What an idiot. His dad says to get married, so he just does it? My brother isn't dead yet!"

April 23

"He's actually pretty nice... No wonder my brother and I are real brothers. Tsk."

June 19

"He treats me like a younger brother. Fine, that's pretty good too."

The pen nearly tore through this page.

July 6

"Holy crap, we slept together."

"My brother woke up and didn't have a wife anymore."

August 13

"I woke up and didn't have a wife anymore either."

"Wait, where did my wife go? I had a whole wife!"
