A Marriage in Name Only? My Stepbrother Won't Let Me Go

Mei Wanying has been reborn.

In her past life, she stubbornly forced a marriage with Pei Yan—the adopted son of her family. But Pei Yan hated her deeply. Right after their wedding, he left to guard the border and never looked back.

Later, when she went to find him while pregnant, she discovered the truth: his heart already belonged to someone else.

Broken and desperate, Mei Wanying tried to escape… but on the way, she was captured by enemies. Refusing to be humiliated, she ended her own life with a hairpin.

When she opens her eyes again, she’s back at the beginning.

This time, Mei Wanying decides not to chase Pei Yan anymore.

She avoids him, stays away from every place he might appear, and even returns to her hometown in Jiangnan to start over.

Soon, word spreads—Mei Wanying is getting married again.

On the wedding night, red candles glow as a noble man steps into the bridal chamber and lifts her veil.

But the person standing there is not her new groom.

Pei Yan’s eyes are red with anger as he stares at her.

“Mei Wanying… how dare you marry someone else?”

She looks at him calmly and calls him “Elder Brother.”

That only makes him more furious.

“Brother? Don’t call me that!”

His voice drops, sharp and broken.

“I am your husband!”
