After My Cousin Forced Me Into His Clutches

[A sweet-talking, silly little con artist vs. a cold-blooded, ruthless minister]

Pei Donglan, the eldest young master of the Pei family, wields immense power and is deeply devoted to his mother. A year ago, he took in Cui Bingbing, the only surviving member of his maternal grandparents' family.

He knows the girl is an impostor, posing as someone else for money.

A year later, his mother's health has greatly improved. Fearing the little con artist will bring trouble to the Pei family, Pei Donglan prepares to deal with her himself.

He promises her he won't let her die in too much pain.

But the fake young lady says, "Young Master, I have no way to defend myself. I only have one last wish."

Her fragrant lips part as she says she wants to spend one night with him before she dies.

For some reason, Pei Donglan actually agrees.

From that day on, every night she comes up with some way to sneak into his bed and take off his clothes.

In the study, in the garden, in the carriage, even in the banquet hall, she keeps luring him in and refuses to let go.

Putting her to death has to be put on hold for now.

Just as Pei Donglan thinks she loves him to the depths of her soul, he overhears her telling a servant, "I've made all the arrangements. I'm leaving the Pei residence tonight, and I'm never coming back."

He crushes his jade thumb ring, and blood drips onto the white jade hairpin he had planned to give her.

In this lifetime, she will never escape the Pei residence, unless she steps over his dead body.

[Heartbreaking little scene]

"Didn't you say you fell for me at first sight, Rou'er?"

Ji Rouxue smiles like a flower in full bloom, innocent and guileless.

"I was mistaken before, Brother. I only think of you as an elder brother. There is absolutely nothing romantic between us. Our bond as siblings will last forever."

He had never realized that this silver-tongued little con artist could twist the truth so shamelessly.

Pei Donglan still smiles, warm and harmless. "What a fine bond between brother and sister. I wonder if you'll still be so stubborn in a little while."
