When I First Saw Weiwei

Chu Weiyun had known since childhood that she had a fiancé.

Her mother told her he was an arrogant, free-spirited young man, full of confidence and vigor.

She followed her parents to the capital with great anticipation.

In front of everyone, the handsome young man greeted her with a smile, impeccably polite and considerate.

In private, however, he turned a cold face toward Chu Weiyun, his eyes full of annoyance. “I already have someone I love, and I will only ever love her. Even if I marry you, we’ll be husband and wife in name only.”

Chu Weiyun was stunned.

The girlish daydreams she had barely begun to form shattered in an instant, and she decided to break off the engagement.

But the marriage had been arranged by the elders of both families, and it couldn’t be called off so easily.

Worse, her fiancé was a master at putting on a good face. Everyone said he was gentle and considerate, devoted to her, never realizing how cold and cruel he was in private.

Chu Weiyun was so angry she cried.

She thought furiously, Even if my parents scold me, I’m still going to break off this engagement!

But every scheme she stayed up late devising either came to nothing or ended in disappointment. After one setback after another, Chu Weiyun wiped away her tears and despaired inwardly.

She would rather ruin her own reputation than marry him!

Chu Weiyun’s eyes lit up. She thought it was a wonderful idea and started looking for a new fiancé. After finally choosing someone, she summoned her courage and took the initiative. Fortunately, he was interested in her too, and agreed on the spot.

Delighted that her wish had come true, Chu Weiyun happily returned home. The next day, a letter arrived at the Chu residence inviting her to discuss their marriage.

When she saw the name signed at the bottom, Chu Weiyun was stunned.

Good heavens, she had mistaken him for someone else!

The man she had seduced the night before was the Duke of Xian, a man favored by the Emperor and notorious for doing whatever he pleased.

Remembering the stars overhead and the man’s nonchalant expression as he drew his blade, blood flashing past his eyes, Chu Weiyun trembled so violently she nearly fainted.

She had just escaped the wolf’s den and fallen into a tiger’s jaws. Why was her life so miserable?

The first time Wen Sibai saw Chu Weiyun, he thought coolly: Pretty, but incredibly stupid. She didn’t even know her fiancé had feelings for someone else, yet she still kept throwing herself at him.

The second time, he saw several noblewomen mock her. Instead of getting angry, she smiled brightly. Wen Sibai thought to himself that she really was an idiot.

The third time...

The fourth time...

Who knew how many times it had been.

Drunk, Chu Weiyun’s cheeks were flushed pink as she threw herself into Wen Sibai’s arms, pressed her cherry-red lips against his chin, and spoke in a sweet, tipsy voice.

“...You’re so handsome. Why don’t you be my husband?”

The young woman’s almond-shaped eyes were hazy, as if mist and stars swirled within them. Her lovely face was flushed, and she looked soft and captivating.

Wen Sibai’s brows twitched. He hooked an arm around her slender waist and drew her into his embrace, replying meaningfully, “All right.”

Since you were the one who made the first move, you can’t blame me now.

Coming soon: You Can Be a Lovesick Fool, Brother, But I’ll Marry a Beggar

Only after Ruan Yuchun died did she learn that her brother was the devoted second male lead in a romance novel. He would go blind and become lame for the heroine, and even get his entire family executed for her.

In the ending, the heroine wore a phoenix crown and robes, haunted by guilt over her brother, yet lived a life of honor and luxury.

Meanwhile, the Ruan family was destroyed, their lineage wiped out.

After being reborn, Ruan Yuchun watched her brother head down the path to ruin once again. She bit her lip, grabbed the little beggar she had just rescued, and solemnly told her brother:

“Brother, he saved my life, and I have no way to repay him. I’m going to marry him.”

“Better yet, we’ll get married next month and have a child within the year.”

“Brother, his family has had only one child for three generations. I can’t have just one. I’ll need at least five, so you’ll have to help me raise them.”

Ruan Yuheng, almost furious enough to spit blood, roared with red-rimmed eyes, “I refuse!!!”

Ruan Yuchun: “If you refuse, I’ll elope with him.”

Ruan Yuheng: “!!!!”

Thanks to Ruan Yuchun’s antics, Ruan Yuheng managed to avoid the plot where he went blind and became lame. She breathed a sigh of relief, secretly prepared a bundle of silver notes, and planned to send the “little beggar” out of the capital.

But when she saw a sea of black-clad men kneeling before the “little beggar,” Ruan Yuchun fell silent.

Only then did she realize that the person she had casually grabbed as a prop to provoke her brother might not be as ordinary as he seemed.

Ruan Yuchun panicked and immediately cut ties with him.

But the “little beggar” refused to let her go. He grabbed her wrist with one hand and quietly slipped a knife into the other, then asked with a calm smile, “A-Chun, are you planning to seduce me and then abandon me?”

Looking at the gleaming blade in the sunlight, Ruan Yuchun was so terrified that she nearly lost her soul. “...”
