Aren't They All Just Brothers? Why Does Darling Call Them Husband but Not Me?

[Alternate 1980s] [Love Triangle] [Everyone's Favorite] [Rivalry for Her Affection] [All Male Leads Are Virgins]

The Shang family of Senhe Mansion has a daughter of extraordinary beauty. For nineteen years, she has been cherished as the apple of her parents' and five older brothers' eyes, all of them afraid that even a harsh word might make her cry.

That is, until the real daughter comes to their door and claims a nurse switched the babies at birth.

Overnight, the pampered greenhouse rose of Senhe Mansion becomes a burdensome daughter in the family of a minor neighborhood official from the alleyways.

Ming Yu has a prophetic dream. She sees that after the Ming family takes her back, she will be caught up in her father and brothers' political misstep and die miserably in a labor camp in the northwest.

Ming Yu rushes back to the Shang family that very night, tears streaming down her face. "Big Brother, is it very cold in the northwest? Do they have face cream there? I don't want to go. My hands will crack."

The Shang family's eldest son, Shang Heyan, is handsome and imposing, yet aloof and abstinent, never letting anyone get close.

Only with Ming Yu does his desire become an obsession.

After years of repression, he finally gives in. "I can let you stay."

Ming Yu looks up at him through tearful eyes.

But the man's gaze is deep and shadowed. "Marry me. You'll still be part of the Shang family, and no one will be able to take you away."

Ming Yu thinks she now has the perfect fake husband, unaware that Shang Heyan has been reborn. In his previous life, he could only watch her die in the northwest. This time, he will never let her escape his grasp again.

What she knows even less is that...

Her second brother, Shang Xianyu, voluntarily transferred to the southwestern military district years ago to cut off his forbidden feelings. When he learns she was switched at birth, he rushes back to Shanghai that very night, only to open the door and see a wedding ring from his eldest brother on her hand.

Her third brother, Ye Xuan, returns from abroad. The ailing beauty in the wheelchair looks at her with a gloomy gaze, as if he has long known the truth of her birth. He smiles with gentle warmth, but behind that harmless face, he has already seen every secret.

Pei Jue, the young man she teased and toyed with three years ago without ever taking things all the way, returns as the only son of the Northern Military District's commander. His gaze is still burning when he looks at her.

The youngest, Ye Jingxi, comes rushing in belatedly, furious and aggrieved. "You've got something going on with all of them? Then I want in too."

Faced with the men closing in on her from every side, Ming Yu flees back to the man at her side that very night.

But after dark, Shang Heyan locks a hand around her ankle. "Tired of me? Who else does my good girl want?"
