Their Bride

Born into poverty, with an alcoholic father and an indifferent mother, Sesi was the most outstanding of more than ten children. She was sold to the largest plantation owner in the South. They said the plantation owner’s son wanted a little sister. When Sesi was brought to the estate, the housekeeper told her, “Miss, from now on, you’re part of the Elde family. You have three older brothers.” Then she heard someone chuckle at the housekeeper’s side. “The second young master doesn’t actually want a sister.” “He wants a toy.” The housekeeper was unmoved. “The eldest young master will protect Miss.” - The plantation owner had no wife, but he had three sons. Sesi soon met her three new brothers. The eldest, Sai Lewiya, was gentle and courteous, the kindest person she had ever met. He taught Sesi to read and write, and taught her to ride and behave like a proper young lady. Sesi liked him very much. The second brother, Luo Er, was haughty and willful at first, and always looked at her with disdain. He told Sesi to cry, saying he liked watching her cry. He also said she had been allowed to come to the estate because he’d put in a word, so she ought to obey him in everything. Sesi didn’t dare say it aloud, but she hated him. The third brother, Xuelisi, was always smiling. He enthusiastically helped Sesi fit in at the estate. Sesi thought he had the best temper, until one day he asked her with a smile, “Little Sesi, you and I are closest, right?” Sesi hesitated for just a moment, and his expression changed. ...There was something strange about him. Sesi could never quite put her finger on it. Everyone at the estate warned her not to go near the Western Palace. She followed their instructions to the letter so she wouldn’t be thrown out. But after she accidentally angered Luo Er, he punished her by locking her in the Western Palace. Sesi trembled with fear, having heard that a devil lived there, but instead she met her fourth brother. He was a boy with a sickly face and a melancholy air. He kissed her hand and told her his name was Kalan, and that she could call him Lan. - As time passed, people across the region were amazed to see that the frail girl who had joined the Elde family had grown into a strikingly beautiful young woman. Countless people sought her favor. At every ball, more hands reached out to Sesi than anyone else’s. But she turned almost all of them down, and the gentlemen asked why. She apologized. “I’m sorry, but my brother won’t let me dance with too many people.” They were confused and angry, scolding Sesi’s brother for being too controlling. But they were also curious: which brother did she mean? Sesi only clutched her gloves, felt a cold gaze on the back of her neck, and hurried away. She was of marriageable age, but the four brothers always found some excuse to turn away the suitors who came calling. At last, one day, the plantation owner, who was now her father in name, returned. Sesi wanted him to arrange a marriage for her. But the man caressed her cheek, then turned and dismissed yet another gentleman who had come to see her. He told Sesi that from now on, she must stop calling him Father. 【Reader advisory and content warnings】 Female protagonist adored by the men, all love the female protagonist. She’s soft-hearted and rather weak, and extremely, extremely beautiful (sorry, I’m a pervert). A dark, twisted tone. The characters are imperfect, and the plot is immoral. There are five male leads, including the father. Not a choose-your-romance story. Everyone is in a flirtatious relationship with her. This is purely the author’s personal kink; the author is a pervert. If you can’t accept this, don’t click. Don’t take it too seriously. There are countless web novels out there; liking what you read is what matters most. Theme: Tomorrow will be better
