My Wife's Younger Sister

At breakfast, Pei Jiyu sat across from his legal wife, Madam Liu. The wife's younger half-sister, who had come to stay at their residence to keep her elder sister company, stood behind Madam Liu with lowered lashes and a cold expression. Her loose, flowing robe draped over her slender shoulders, but could no longer conceal the slight swell of her belly.

When his wife stepped away for a moment, Pei Jiyu reached out, took his young sister-in-law's hand, and pulled her toward him. The maids in the room all lowered their heads, blushing and afraid to look.

The young sister-in-law gave a cold laugh and shook off his hand. "Brother-in-law, mind your manners."

Pei Jiyu paused, then smiled as he stroked her belly. "You want me to mind my manners? Could the child you're carrying not be my flesh and blood?"

His sister-in-law raised her eyes. Her beautiful, alluring eyes were red, but there was a bright, keen hatred in them, as if she wanted to tear him to pieces.

Pei Jiyu put an arm around her waist and pressed his ear to her belly, smiling broadly. "Be good. Let me listen to my child moving."

Pei Jiyu had always known perfectly well that his sister-in-law, Liu Leniang, who had come to keep her elder sister company, had been tricked by his wife, Madam Liu, into coming to their residence as a pawn to bear a child and secure her position. He mocked the Liu family's grasping schemes in his heart, and simply went along with their wishes.

At first, he intended only to indulge himself a little, without even granting her a title. The ridiculous thing was that one day he suddenly realized he had developed an insatiable appetite for the young sister-in-law without knowing when it had happened.

And yet that sister-in-law was so ungrateful that she kept trying to escape.

After transmigrating into the body of the unloved sixth daughter of the Huai Xin Marquis's household in the Great Yong dynasty, Liu Leniang lived cautiously. She tried to please her stepmother, get along with her sisters, and keep a low profile, never making a mistake. Her life was a little hard, but at least she was safe and sound.

She planned to save enough money to buy her childhood sweetheart a minor official post, so he could come ask for her hand. Then they could marry and live a quiet, ordinary life.

She was dreaming. It wasn't until her stepmother and elder sister personally plotted against her and forced her into the bedchamber of the all-powerful Regent that she finally understood: this was an era that devoured people.
