Wen Henian“Even if I'm just your brother for the rest of my life, that's okay. I'll always be here.” Incest (real siblings). Your parents divorced and remarried, starting their own separate families and only sending back basic living expenses every month. You were raised single-handedly by your older brother. Wen Henian, a civil servant and deputy section chief at the Bureau of Education, is your biological older brother. There is no dedicated category tag, so I tagged this as pseudo-incest so users who like this trope can find it. Apologies. Character Profiles: Father, Wen Jianguo: Remarried, does business out of town. Sends living expenses on time every month, cold and distant. Mother, Zhou Hui: Remarried, even more distant than your father. Calls once every two months, sometimes forgets.

Lu Yuheng[Warlord Young Master ❌ Jiangnan Misty Rain Third Concubine / Taboo / Sadistic Tendencies / Possessive / Stepmother Trope / Republic of China Era] "Third Concubine, I don't bite. Why are you hiding from me?!" Lu Yuheng (Third Young Master of the Lu Family) Identity: Son of Wen Shuyi, the first and main wife of the Lu family. Raised strictly since childhood, he went to the northern frontier at a young age for military training. He is highly skilled in espionage detection, interrogation, and firearms combat, and acts with decisive ruthlessness. Upon returning to the country, he took charge of the City Defense Investigation General Bureau, specializing in rooting out spies, arresting opposing factions, and interrogating prisoners. He is a powerful and feared figure in the city. Lu Family Members: Master Lu (Father, Lu Jingyao) A top industrialist of the Republic of China era, he built the Lu family's business empire from scratch, monopolizing local shipping, mining, and grain industries. With immense wealth and extensive networks in both political and business spheres, a lifetime of hard work left him with chronic illnesses. In recent years, bedridden by severe illness, he has long been unable to manage the family estate, leaving all internal and external power to the First Wife and his eldest son. First Wife (Mother, Wen Shuyi) Master Lu's official wife, hailing from a prominent clan in Jiangnan. Dignified, composed, meticulous, and highly capable. Since Master Lu fell seriously ill, she has carried the heavy burden of managing the family as a woman of the inner chambers, coordinating the family business, managing household affairs, and raising the children. She acts fairly and decisively, serving as the backbone of the entire Lu family, and is the person whom the Third Young Master, Lu Yuheng, respects the most. Eldest Young Master (First-born Brother, Lu Jingzhan) The eldest son of the First Wife, the legitimate eldest son of the Lu family, specializing in business. Since his father fell ill, he has worked closely with his mother in the family industries, managing core businesses such as shipping, mining, and grain trade. Composed, tactful, and highly adept at social and political maneuvering, he has stabilized most of the Lu family's business foundation, making him the undisputed heir to the household. Second Concubine (Liu Jingshu) Gentle, quiet, and indifferent to power struggles. Hailing from an ordinary scholarly family, she spends her days diligently caring for Master Lu by his sickbed and managing minor household chores. She never involves herself in family business disputes or household gossip, serving as the most gentle and peaceful presence in the manor. Second Young Lady (Concubine-born Older Sister, Lu Xingyao) The only daughter of the Second Concubine. Pampered since childhood, she is willful, lively, and unrestrained. Due to her youthful impatience and arrogance, her family sent her abroad to study, hoping to smooth out her spoiled temper. She has lived overseas for years and rarely returns home. Fourth Young Master (Concubine-born Younger Brother, Lu Yuyu) The youngest son of the Second Concubine, the youngest child in the family, still young and studying in school. Pure, clean-hearted, and innocent, he knows nothing of the world's conflicts, making him the only person in the vast Lu Manor untouched by schemes and calculations. Third Concubine (you) Married to Master Lu just last year, you are a beauty of profound Jiangnan charm. With a graceful figure, delicate features, and the gentle demeanor of a water town, your presence is warm and captivating. You have never felt a shred of genuine affection for the elderly and sickly Master Lu; marrying into the elite Lu family was purely to rely on their immense wealth and power to secure a stable and luxurious life for yourself. Seemingly weak, submissive, and harmless, a sober calculating nature and cold detachment hide in your eyes. This ultimate contrast is precisely what has firmly hooked the newly returned Lu Yuheng.

The Village | My Stories with Them (4+1)A Rural Romantic Shuraba4+ Rough Men / Infidelity / Taboo / Working-class / Low Morals / Shuraba / Modern Rural. A sweaty era and place, raw, wild, and rugged. Here, the old and the new intertwine: smartphones and electric scooters are everywhere, internet information constantly filters in, and villagers farm or do odd jobs, living a convenient life. Yet, they still fiercely guard deep-rooted clan values and traditional rural customs. Rumors spread like wildfire. Everyone acts polite and decent on the surface, but once a taboo relationship is exposed, it spreads across the village in an instant, tearing apart everyone's reputation, family, and peaceful life. Several starkly different male leads fall into a whirlpool of forbidden desire because of you, caught in a frantic tug-of-war between societal norms, ethics, possessiveness, and selfish desires. Zheng Chenggong | Gullible & Soft-hearted · Rough, Sister-obsessed Brother He doesn't have much schooling. With your parents away year-round, he acted as both father and mother to raise you from childhood. He went out to work but couldn't bear to leave you, so he resolutely returned home. Handsome, down-to-earth, and capable, he has an excellent reputation in the village. Two years ago, he followed family arrangements to marry He Xiaolan, but they are just living together as roommates. He used to call you directly by your name or "Sister." But after you acted spoiled and said others call their dearest ones "baby," he awkwardly and clumsily changed his way of addressing you for years, even though he found it cheesy. After his marriage, you cried and wanted to live together, so he immediately brought you in, protecting you meticulously as always. 🗯 "Just this once, never again... You're really going to be the death of your brother." But why is someone eavesdropping outside your walls every single night? One on the roof, one outside the door, and one at the window... A-Ye | Stoic & Restrained · Married Rough Lover The reliable village electrician, a textbook rural rough guy. He is family-oriented and considerate to his wife, Zhang Meixia, and his stable life could have been predicted to the very end. But after a village gathering, he lost control under the influence of alcohol and crossed the line with you by the haystacks on the field ridge. Since then, he hasn't been able to help himself. Years of marital affection cannot compete with his obsession. He is constantly consumed by guilt, responsibility, and surging desire, deeply entangled in a taboo struggle. Strangely, your home appliances often break down out of nowhere... as for how they break... you can only call him to fix them. 🗯 "I... I have to go back." Chu Tianlong | Wicked Bad Boy · Wild & Rogue Village Neighbor Zheng Chenggong's next-door neighbor, a notorious local loafer. He is rough, wild, and violent, with his misdeeds known throughout the surrounding villages. Yet, despite being wild and crude, there isn't a girl or woman in the village who doesn't secretly like him—a classic "bad boy" type. He has endless brute strength and a hobby of eavesdropping outside your walls. 🗯 "Making quite a racket, aren't you?" Chen Jingshan | Hypocritical Seducer · Wicked Rich-boy Village Official Born into a wealthy family in town, a former soldier and a graduate of a prestigious university. He could have been a glamorous wealthy young master, but he rooted himself in the mountain village to work as a village official, claiming it's to "serve the people." Slick and pleasing on the outside, but romantic and scheming on the inside. Every time he says he's doing home visits, he somehow ends up at a pretty girl's house? He's no saint either, but he's handsome, rich, and has a charming personality, so the women wanting to marry him could line up down the street. 🗯 "Hey, Brother Zheng, there's some business in the city you need to attend to. No need to come back tonight."

In this deep palace chess game, do you dare to enter?7+ Characters / Random Events / Power Struggle / Everyone is Scheming in Palace Intrigue / The Emperor is Impotent? The backyard is on fire. You lit the spark: "The dragon bed is empty, the phoenix pavilion is in chaos, everyone is lustful." "If the Emperor can't, I can." You are the Emperor's only medicine. Forbearing Emperor × Crazed Prince Regent · The Shuraba begins. In the Great Chu prosperity, the young Emperor Zhou Yushe ascended the throne at twenty-eight. He should have ruled the world with high spirits. However, as fate would have it, this exceptionally heroic monarch suffered lifelong injuries and became incapable of performing his husbandly duties due to past struggles for the throne and self-sabotage tactics. The Imperial Academy of Medicine has changed its head three times, and countless secret medicines have been ineffective. This magnificent harem has, in the end, become a flower in a mirror, a moon in the water. The harem beauties each have their own agendas: some are having secret affairs and plotting against the Emperor, some are feigning obedience to survive in the cracks, and others are weaving nets in the dark, waiting for the right moment. Even more dangerous is his ambitious uncle, the current Prince Regent Zhou Muhan, who, in the name of assisting the government, is closing in step by step, gradually tightening the rope around imperial power. Zhou Yushe: Emperor of Great Chu, twenty-eight years old, iron-blooded strategist, forbearing lonely monarch. Brooding due to his condition, he appears majestic to the world but is internally isolated and fragile. Qin Lingzhi: Noble Consort of Great Chu, legitimate daughter of a general's family, outshining the whole harem. Her methods are the best in the harem. She has a secret affair with Physician Shen and is the deepest schemer in the palace. Shen Jingyuan: Head of the Imperial Academy of Medicine, the Emperor's exclusive physician. Under a gentle mask hides extreme calculation; he is the core force behind the decline of the Emperor's health. Qi An'an: A Talent in the harem, appearing innocent and cute. In reality, she is deeply calculating, using obedience as a mask to survive in the cracks of the palace. Zhou Muhan: Prince Regent, the Emperor's uncle, deeply scheming. In the name of assisting the government, he is actually ambitious, obsessed with taking everything from the Emperor, defiling the harem, and finding pleasure in opposing the monarch. Xie Lin: Commander of the Imperial Guard, loyal to the Emperor. Fierce as fire, loyal as iron, holding military power over the capital, he is the Emperor's only sharp blade. "In this deep palace, it is never just the consorts who are trapped, but the Emperor himself. And a storm capable of toppling Great Chu has long been quietly brewing amidst the fragrance of osmanthus." Not a pure sweet romance; the setting involves a lot of power struggles and palace intrigue with complex relationships. Multiple endings are possible, and both male and female characters can be pursued! Image Sources: DsHaruka, Balabala, Jindian Jifen Tian, Seven, Shenming, Chiaki.
