Synopsis:

Gu Che, a prodigy among the younger generation, loses all his cultivation overnight and is abandoned and exiled for five years.

He thinks he can make a comeback and reclaim everything he lost. But the old man who tricked him into dripping his blood onto a ring is full of lies, and Gu Che remains without cultivation.

It's fine. Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river.

Never look down on a poor young man!

But before his cultivation can return, he gets word that his fiancée wants to break off their engagement.

Furious, Gu Che heads to Qianji Sect with resentment burning in his heart.

Instead, he is greeted by a tall figure with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, even more manly than he is.

Gu Che wants to call off the engagement and leave, but his fiancée presses a jade ring filled with rare treasures into his hand. His knees buckle of their own accord, and he half-heartedly gives in.

He never expected his seemingly upright and proper fiancée to be a lesbian, or a pervert!

His chastity is hanging by a thread...

It's fine. Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river.

Never look down on a poor young man!

Gu Che rallies himself and resolves to obtain the secret technique and leave as soon as possible. But one strange thing after another begins to happen...

His fiancée's body is like fire by day and ice by night, and her personality changes from time to time;

A female cultivator who fell in love with him at first sight keeps her distance from everyone, yet repeatedly crosses paths with him in secret realms. In the shadows behind her, the ghostly silhouette of writhing tentacles sways;

A standout disciple from a neighboring sect pursues him and swears loyalty to him. A demon cultivator with countless lives on his hands wants to become sworn brothers with him. Even the upright gentleman of the Hehuan Sect, untouched by its debauchery, insists on giving Gu Che his virgin essence;

And even the legendary Tribulation Transcendence expert looks at him with a strange, fervent passion...

The only person around him he can truly rely on is his fiancée. Gu Che tearfully clings to her leg, only to discover the chilling truth on the eve of their wedding:

His fiancée is the mastermind behind everything.

In phoenix crown and bridal robes, on their wedding night, the groom flees with an armful of rare treasures, only to be tangled up and imprisoned by tentacles in the deathly stillness of the night.

Black eyes like unfathomable whirlpools pull him in.

The scarlet wedding curtains sway without pause. The blood-red character for double happiness burns like a brand, piercing his body as his soul trembles.

The monster wears a human skin, drawing the source of its hatred and love into its arms. The resentful spirits of countless past lives become shackles, forged into a cage for a hawk.

Gu Che is the bottom; Yun Ji is the top.

A little non-consensual romance, a little Oedipal complex, love and hate each other.

Here's a deliciously melodramatic forbidden romance that I'm excited to share. Please add it to your collection!

Widowed and Force-Marked by My Husband's Younger Brother

Enigma x Alpha | sister-in-law romance | first love | stand-in romance | fake mistress takes the throne

Amnesia | second chance after a breakup | lovers miss each other | brothers' love triangle | non-consensual confinement | pregnancy and escape

The newcomer comes out on top, fighting and claiming what he wants, while the first love returns like a sudden ray of moonlight.

Extremely melodramatic and explosive, but a sweet romance disguised as angst.

A tribute to the line: "I fell in love with another man's wife. That sounds shameless, but what if the person I love became another man's wife? That would just be heartbreaking." TAT

❤️ A sincere, slow-to-warm cat with acting talent and lean muscles, an alpha

A cold-faced, sharp-tongued golden retriever who pretends otherwise, a captivating, blue-collar enigma ❤️

Synopsis: (Their marriage ended before the funeral.)

1

After her husband died in an accident, Ji An developed a pheromone disorder.

Hallucinations, vomiting, and false heat episodes. He can only get through withdrawal with medication.

By the third round of treatment, Ji An finally accepts that her husband is dead. His symptoms improve, and he prepares to take on a new role.

But at the funeral, he meets his late husband's younger brother for the first time.

The mad enigma who was locked in a psychiatric hospital.

Gu Yilin looks exactly like the husband in his dreams.

His condition relapses without warning. At a cocktail party, Ji An is nearly driven out of his mind by a heat episode.

In a cramped room, he sees his husband's face again.

Real, burning hot, and restrained.

Teeth sink into his gland, and the bitter chocolate scent he has longed for melts into his body.

Ji An thinks it's a dream and becomes more and more immersed in his hallucinations.

Once, twice, countless times.

He opens his shirt and takes the initiative to nurse him with his false pregnancy's fullness; kisses that cold, stern face; carefully releases pheromones to soothe him during his rut; holds his knees in both hands and displays himself...

He caresses the familiar face obsessively and calls out tenderly, "Hubby, hold me. Tighter. Never leave me again."

His illness grows worse.

He doesn't want to take his medication anymore.

Until Gu Ling tears the bloody truth open.

Who is the A-Ling he calls for? And who is the husband in his memories?

Gu Yilin and Gu Ling have never looked alike.

Ji An has made a mistake: for the second time, he has mistaken someone else for the person he loves.

2

At first, Gu Yilin only wants to keep his distance from Ji An.

To stay away from the face that haunts his dreams, and avoid committing an immoral act.

If Ji An is his brother's wife, then he should have nothing to do with him.

But later, he changes.

He isn't content to be Ji An's medicine, or a docile replacement for Gu Ling.

He wants more: a mark, a child, a place by his side.

He wants to erase Gu Ling from Ji An's life for good.

He schemes to make Gu Ling appear, exposes the illegitimate child, and forces Ji An to face his former lover. Gu Yilin plots at every turn.

He wants Ji An to admit that the one he loves is Gu Yilin, and the one he has been intimate with is him, not his dead husband returned from the grave.

Like a slow knife cutting flesh, Ji An actually runs away.

When Gu Yilin catches up to him, his cheeks are gaunt and his belly is swollen. He spends every day maintaining himself with high-concentration pheromones.

The pregnant alpha distantly calls him "uncle" and looks away as he lies.

"I'm married," Ji An says. A diamond ring hides the mark on his ring finger, too small for Gu Yilin to notice. "This is my husband's child."

He says it with conviction. Gu Yilin doesn't mind becoming the other man, this time with a legitimate claim.

He wants Ji An to love him until his flesh and bones turn to mud.

Even if Ji An doesn't want him and his heart isn't in it.

Bonus scene:

A day spent caring for pregnant An An (failed pursuit of his wife)

Golden retriever Yilin's pitiful little routine: (hands trembling) "The psychiatric hospital ruined me with electric shocks, sob... An An, come take a look. TAT"

An An takes a look, only to be pulled into a bear hug and buried against his chest. The whole cat turns red in an instant.

The triumphant guy goes: take a bite, take a look ➡️ take a bite, steal a kiss ➡️ head gradually moves down ➡️ gets beaten up by An An

Theme: Faithful love
