The next novel is How Do I Deal with My Adopted Sister's Constant Ringing? It's a day-to-day, pseudo-sibling relationship with a gradual romance. The blurb is below. Add it to your collection if you're interested! (*^_^*)
Sweet-on-the-outside, dark-on-the-inside, unhinged younger sister × self-assured older brother who thinks he's in control but has been trained by her. She teases him, and he's willing to play along.
Shen Jingyi, the Shen family's legitimate daughter, is a very sweet, frail beauty, or so the whole city of Yangzhou says.
Only Shen Yuanting knows the truth:
The elegant, refined Shen daughter who appears before outsiders is a snake that devours its master once the doors are shut.
On a rainy night,
Her cinnabar-painted fingertips glide across the account book, then candlelight burns through it. She nestles in his arms and sobs softly, but her toes grind the ashes into even finer powder.
As her vermilion lips part, the cries of three stewards being drowned in a pond send the sparrows huddled in the branches scattering in fright.
By day,
She kneels in the ancestral hall, her eyes red from crying, with a forged blood-test document hidden in her sleeve.
Even her trembling "big brother" is a honey-coated hook.
It moves Shen Yuanting to make an exception for her: "The legitimate daughter of the Shen family should not have blood on her hands. But Yier's crime doesn't warrant this."
When their childhood betrothal is fulfilled, as they pant behind the screen,
She casts off her gentle mask and throws the fake blood-test document into the brazier.
Leaning close to his ear, she whispers, "Shen Yuanting, you'll have to be locked in a pig cage with me."
Later, at her hairpin ceremony, where the powerful and wealthy have gathered, she tears up the betrothal contract in front of everyone.
Her soft fingertips trace Shen Yuanting's Adam's apple. "I abuse servants, bully the concubine-born, and drove my aunt to her death..."
"Wasn't it all because Big Brother spoiled me?"
"Your heartbeat, Big Brother... is much more honest than the ruler in the ancestral hall."
"You taught me to be virtuous and demure, but the fire in your eyes is about to burn through my skirt."
"If you want me to marry someone else, then let the bridal sedan roll over your corpse."
[Upcoming Novel] How Do I Deal with My Adopted Sister's Constant Ringing? Launching at the end of the month.
Spoiled little green tea heroine × self-restrained, proper, obsessive big brother
Song Mingyue was reborn on the day Madam Song first brought her into the Song family to meet her brother, Song Yu.
In her previous life, the Song family adopted her as their only daughter. She was spoiled and willful, and despite her brother's protests, insisted on marrying the Third Prince. Only after the Third Prince doted on his concubine and neglected his wife, and her father and brother were quarreling and sent into exile, did she learn as she lay dying that her brother had been working with the authorities on her behalf until his death. Only then did she understand his painstaking efforts.
In this life, before she could express her affection for her brother, she met his calm gaze.
Song Yu glanced past their mother at the girl and swallowed. "Mother, I don't want a younger sister."
Song Mingyue froze. A moment later, her eyes reddened and she choked out, "I can be a maid by Big Brother's side. I don't eat much."
Everyone said the Song family's young master was aloof and hated spoiled girls.
But Song Mingyue knew that no matter how much she clung to him, he never seemed annoyed or angry.
Knowing her brother had to manage the family estate and attend lessons, she became his page.
She crookedly copied out his calligraphy practice for the day.
"Are you drawing, Song Mingyue?"
"I'm helping Big Brother with his calligraphy practice."
Ever since Song Mingyue came of age, one suitor after another had come to ask for her hand.
But she trusted none of them and simply told them,
"I'll consider it if Big Brother says it's all right."
Then she turned and found her brother standing outside the door, watching her with a cold expression.
Later, for some reason, the Third Prince came to propose again.
Afterward, word spread that the Third Prince had been deposed, and that their father had flown into a rage at her brother and ordered him to kneel in the ancestral hall.
Song Mingyue slipped into the ancestral hall and, seeing her brother's unreadable expression, asked after him.
"Mingyue, would you consider marrying your brother?"
She stumbled, lost her balance, and was pulled into his arms.
Before she could push him away, he let go of her.
Song Yu slowly tidied the loose hair beside her ear, his eyes dark.
"Your brother is still waiting for his little sister to write their marriage contract!"
