Pregnant with My Ex's Older Brother's Baby

[The new novel, Became the Concubine of a Cold and Aloof Powerful Official, is now open for reading!]

A powerful man lowers his head | Both leads are each other's first

Strong-willed, vibrant beauty x icy, abstinent noble gentleman

Su Li and Cui Ming, the second young master of a prestigious family, were betrothed as children.

Because of this marriage tie, Su Li often visited the Cui clan, one of the great aristocratic families.

Clever and adorable, Su Li is loved by everyone. She wins over the young and old in the Cui family, but the eldest young master, Cui Jue, treats her coldly.

Cui Jue is unmoved by her overtures and even forbids Su Li from approaching Shuyue Pavilion, where he lives.

Until Su Li marries into the Cui family, and her husband, Cui Ming, dies on their wedding night.

Poor Su Li is widowed while still a virgin.

The Cui family pities Su Li, a beauty like a flower who will have no one to rely on in the future. They want the eldest young master, Cui Jue, to take responsibility for both branches of the family and give Su Li a child to depend on.

Su Li knows Cui Jue dislikes her and will surely refuse in anger. Yet when a servant comes to deliver a message, it is to invite Su Li to Shuyue Pavilion.

Because Cui Jue has said one word: Yes.

-

The Cui clan of Wudong wields tremendous power.

Cui Jue, the clan's eldest legitimate son, is of impeccable character, as clever as a demon. Everyone knows that with Cui Jue at the helm, the Cui clan will surely enjoy another hundred years of glory.

The clan reveres this peerlessly graceful young master, and no one dares offend him.

But his younger brother's widow is pitiful, and willing to remain faithful to her late husband.

The Cui family has watched Su Li grow up since childhood, and can't bear to see her suffer. Cui Jue will be getting married in a couple of years anyway. Rather than let a maid who serves her master before marriage benefit, they might as well show kindness to their sister-in-law and leave her with a child.

Fortunately, Cui Jue is considerate of his late brother. After much thought, he agrees.

-

Su Li knows that Cui Jue has no interest in women.

Whenever they lie together, he never kisses or touches her. As soon as it's over, he leaves without a trace of attachment.

Su Li knows her place.

Once she's pregnant, she'll stay far away from Cui Jue and stop bothering him.

But after nearly a year of intimacy, she still hasn't conceived.

One day, in order to escape the aristocratic family, Su Li lies that she is pregnant and says she wants to go to the countryside to rest.

On the day she abandons her carriage and flees, Cui Jue surrounds her with his troops and blocks her path.

The man's phoenix eyes are icy, his presence like a ghost. He grips Su Li's chin and demands coldly:

"I've been taking medicine to prevent pregnancy. So... whose child are you carrying?"

[Reader's Guide]

We will collect evidence and sue for all acts of piracy and copyright infringement. If you don't like it, you can stop reading, but I despise all forms of theft. Please respect the author's hard work. Thank you!

Warning: The male lead is an absolute bastard. If you can't handle that, please read with caution. Respect different kinks.

The former husband is truly dead and will not come back to life. This is simply a story about a widow remarrying her late husband's cousin in his family.

The setting is fictional, with elements from different dynasties. 90% anti-piracy lock.

Aside from guaranteeing that both leads are each other's first, I make no promises about other potential triggers. Readers with low tolerance should proceed with caution. Feel free to come and go, but please don't insult the author. (Malicious personal attacks will be reflected back.)

When an elder brother takes responsibility for two branches of the family, it refers to a marriage arrangement in which one son carries on the family lines of two households. In other words, when two or three brother's households have only one male descendant, he may take two or three wives respectively to continue the family lines. (Note: This explanation is quoted from an encyclopedia.)

The next novel, Became the Concubine of a Cold and Aloof Powerful Official, is by Cao Deng Daren.

Coercive romance | Both leads are each other's first

Honest, beautiful country girl x cold, abstinent powerful official

Lin Rong was sold into the Pei household when she was young and became a maid responsible for cleaning the outer courtyard.

The household servants all dream of marrying into a higher social class. They try to make a name for themselves in front of the young masters, hoping to become a young lady's dowry maid or to catch the eye of one of the household's men and be raised to concubine status.

Only Lin Rong is ambitious in a different way. She wants to save enough money to buy back her freedom, leave the household, and live as a proper wife.

Unfortunately, luck is not on her side. The eldest master of the Pei household accidentally drinks medicinal wine and urgently needs a maid to relieve him.

Lin Rong is only filling in for someone serving tea, but by a twist of fate she becomes the very antidote he needs.

The naive Lin Rong is dragged by the delirious Pei Zan into the red curtains...

-

Pei Zan of Jiangzhou is peerlessly handsome.

Before reaching thirty, he has already risen to the highest ranks of the court.

At a banquet one day, Pei Zan is set up and accidentally drinks medicinal wine.

Pei Zan has always kept his distance from women and has no concubines in his household.

Under the effects of the drug, he can only allow his subordinates to send a maid to him.

He finds Lin Rong obedient and sweet, and not unpleasant to be around, so he takes her.

Since Pei Zan has used her as an antidote, he should give her a title and raise her to concubine status.

But when he wakes up, the little maid is nowhere to be found... No one in the entire household can find her.

Pei Zan's phoenix eyes turn icy.

She refuses his favor? So she's the proud sort.

-

Lin Rong doesn't want to be a concubine, trapped in a cage.

Fortunately, things happened in the dark of night. Pei Zan only lifted her skirt and loosened her clothes, then ordered her to turn around. There were no kisses, touches, or other intimate gestures...

Pei Zan doesn't know what her face looks like, which should make it easy for Lin Rong to escape.

Lin Rong carries on with her work and saves money as usual,

dreaming that one day she'll escape her status as a servant and live a free, carefree life.

But unexpectedly, after that night, Pei Zan repeatedly dreams of the woman who sobbed softly in bed...

Pei Zan burns with desire.

He resolves to search every inch of the land and capture that audacious maid!

-

One day, Lin Rong finally saves enough money to buy back her freedom and leaves her servant status behind.

Carrying a bundle, Lin Rong happily leaves the household. Before she can take three steps, an ornate carriage blocks her path.

The curtain lifts, revealing Pei Zan's cold, handsome face.

The man walks toward her and pinches her face, his grip growing stronger.

"Now that you're no longer a servant, how about I raise you to concubine status?"

At that moment, tears fill Lin Rong's beautiful eyes. She is truly terrified to the depths of her soul.

1. Lots of melodrama. The leads are nine years apart.

2. The male lead is an absolute bastard. If that's not your thing, read with caution! I only guarantee that both leads are each other's first. I won't flag anything else, so read carefully. (Important warning)
