My New Senior Brother Is My Ex-Husband's Mortal Enemy

Dong Yu was frail and sickly. She had been married to Immortal Venerable Yu Yuan for three hundred years, and the couple treated each other with mutual respect. Then, as Yu Yuan was ascending to immortality, the new Demon Lord, with whom she had been at odds for years, launched an attack. Yu Yuan couldn’t afford to be distracted while undergoing her ascension tribulation, so Dong Yu forced herself to hold the enemy back. The Demon Lord was vicious and violent, his hatred for anyone who stood in his way plain to see. Their fight to the death ended beneath ten thousand layers of heavenly lightning. Dong Yu and the Demon Lord died at the same time. * Dong Yu opened her eyes and found herself hundreds of years in the past. She was told a new senior fellow disciple had been admitted as an exception, and that he outranked her. The strikingly handsome man smiled at her as though he really were a long-lost relative. Dong Yu recognized the future Demon Lord. Determined to avoid the same ending as in her previous life, she tried over and over to take him out. But he was too powerful for her to handle, so she could only pretend they were real siblings. But somewhere along the way, something went wrong. The man’s behavior grew increasingly strange. He even worked an idiom into sentences about things that had nothing to do with one another. Dong Yu: “Senior Brother, why are you up so early?” Su Yan: “Because first come, first served. It’s the rule everyone should follow.” * Su Yan had been reborn eight times. He had spent all eight lifetimes striving to become the strongest in the world, only for Yu Yuan to take second place every time. In his eighth life, he worked diligently and lay low for hundreds of years. At last, he found his chance to kill her with a single blow, but then some strange woman appeared out of nowhere and stopped him. Reborn for the ninth time, Su Yan was still seething. He decided to kill the woman first. He would sneak into her sect, catch her off guard, take everything she had, then finish her off. Su Yan was skilled at manipulating people’s hearts. He pretended to favor her, telling her she could have anything she wanted. But this woman was no innocent either. She tried to manipulate him, and Su Yan had lived too many lives to fall for any trick. He might as well play along Dong Yu: “Senior Brother, I’ve accepted a marriage proposal.” Su Yan: “What do you mean? Doesn’t that person know that first come, first served?” #First come, first served. I got here first this time, so whoever comes later can serve me tea. #What do you mean, you’re reborn too? What do you mean I’m still the one who came later? This isn’t how my daydream of being the proper wife was supposed to go! Reader’s Guide: ■ The protagonist is flawed, often weak and sickly, and barely clinging to life.

Blurb below After Yuezhu became a widow, the people around her kept trying to set her up with someone new. Everyone said Yuezhu was gentle and kind, easy to deceive, and needed someone to rely on. But Yuezhu knew they were all after her late husband’s inheritance. Then, amid all the threats and enticements, Yuezhu suddenly brought a man home. He looked exactly like her late husband, right down to his build. Someone cried out that the corpse had come back to life and that they had to burn and suppress it at once! Yuezhu stepped forward to explain that the man was her late husband’s twin brother. He had been badly injured while traveling abroad and had now returned home to recover, as well as help her deal with the inheritance. It wasn’t until her late husband’s friend came to visit and took Yuezhu by the hand, his voice hoarse, that he asked: “Yuezhu, who is he?” “Why does he have Jiyi’s old wounds?” * Yuezhu was the sort of person who accepted whatever life dealt her. Her family all said she would spend her whole life meekly putting up with everything. Then an accident led her to seal away her terrifying husband. He was unconscious in the dungeon, but she still couldn’t sleep at night. Yuezhu wanted to run away, but the family treasury was protected by a ward, so she couldn’t make off with the money and disappear. After weighing her options, Yuezhu erased her husband’s memories, woke him up, and told him she was his widowed sister-in-law. Yuezhu knew the man before her was cold, sinister, cruel, and violent, a thoroughly rotten man. Yet she stayed by his side day after day, caring for him without limits, as if she had found a support to lean on after losing her husband and become a parasitic vine that couldn’t live without him. Of course, Yuezhu also gradually nudged him toward lifting the ward on the treasury. * Jiye had been badly injured and lost his memory. When he opened his eyes, all he saw was a woman. Her eyes glistened with tears, and her ink-black hair spilled over him like silk as she kept saying, “Thank goodness, you’re awake.” She was his widowed sister-in-law. He and his late elder brother had been twins, and she was the only family he had left in the world. ...Family? Jiye felt nothing. To him, everyone was just the same lump of flesh, and this woman was no different. But a vile thought kept coming to him. Why did he want to wrap his arms around her waist, bite her lips until they bled, and stuff her whole body inside himself? He confessed this calmly. Yuezhu didn’t seem alarmed. Instead, she gazed at him again with those innocent, watery eyes. “How can that be? We’re sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law.” He held her wrist during the day, and at night he was tormented by dreams of her. The repulsive thoughts nearly drove him mad. At last, as she wanted, Jiye opened the mysterious treasury When the treasury was opened, two things happened. First, there was nothing inside except a spell to restore memories. Second, Yuezhu disappeared the next day. Blurb archived on September 20, 2026 Theme: Stay positive and keep moving forward
