My Late Husband's Older Brother Is Cold by Day and Kisses Me by Night

(A slow-burn romance: sweet, gentle sister-in-law vs. her aloof brother-in-law) Everyone in Beijing’s elite circles knows that Lu Jianshen is a workaholic who keeps women at arm’s length. His assistant is a man, his driver is a man, and the entire executive office is full of men.

He is the most boring man imaginable.

So when word got around that Lu Jianshen’s widowed sister-in-law was coming from the countryside to rely on him, all of Beijing’s elite waited for a good laugh.

This rising star of the capital’s social scene had cut ties with his poor relatives years ago. Would he really get involved in this mess?

Everyone expected the little widow to be sent packing back to the countryside in disgrace.

But year after year, she still hadn’t been driven out. Instead, Mr. Lu, who had always kept women at arm’s length, seemed to have finally blossomed.

He never gave financial interviews, but now he was sharing parenting tips on a childcare channel.

He was a notorious workaholic, yet for the first time, he started leaving work early every day.

He used to be impeccably dressed in a suit, but now he followed a woman around with his hands full of groceries.

Before he was reborn, Lu Jianshen had only seen Wen Yin twice.

The first time was at her wedding banquet with his younger brother.

The second time was years later, when Wen Yin was imprisoned for injuring someone. She had been disfigured in prison and lost her mind. Her life was miserable. Before she died, they met one last time, and she asked him to take care of her daughter.

Because of that, he had always felt he owed this woman.

In this life, he would drive every man away from her and take their place himself.

“Starting tonight, you can call me ‘husband.’”
