Transmigrated as the Adopted Sister of a ‘Broken Engagement’ Male Lead

After two years in the transmigrated novel, You Zichun made a horrifying discovery: her sworn brother, Pei Yihe, was actually the dragon-ascendant male lead of the “broken engagement” trope. Even more terrifying—she might be killed by him soon! The reason was simple. The male lead in the book was decisive in killing and accustomed to acting alone. She, however, was just an ordinary mortal. To him, currently hunted by enemies, she was nothing but dead weight. Though they had relied on each other to survive all this way, considering Pei Yihe’s recent hesitant expressions, the ominous sword-sharpening sounds in the dead of night, and even the sword spirit that had accompanied him since childhood and the jade artifact he’d unintentionally obtained subtly urging him to ditch her burden… In short, to save her own skin, You Zichun decided to run away. Her first escape attempt failed when she bumped into Pei Yihe midway. He didn’t ask why she had wandered so far, only chuckled and said, “That jade really is a treasure. Even broken, it fetched a decent price. Let’s go back, and I’ll make you some soup.” Cold sweat dripped down You Zichun’s back. He destroyed his cheat item just like that? This guy was terrifying! The second time, she fled overnight. As for travel funds, of course she’d take the betrothal letter, disguise herself as a man, pretend to be her brother to break off the engagement at the young lady’s house, and get some compensation first! Unexpectedly, she was detained as soon as she arrived at the young lady’s residence. The “young lady” sitting behind the screen laughed and said, “Break off the engagement? Don’t even think about it. We’re getting married next month.” You Zichun: ??? Oh no! Trapped in this vast mansion, You Zichun plotted her escape every day. Until one night, she faintly caught the scent of blood. Cautiously, she cracked open her eyes and glimpsed a solitary figure standing by her bed, holding a blood-stained sword. “Awake?” The person spoke. It was Pei Yihe’s voice, but devoid of its usual lightness and cheer, eerily calm. “Who’s coaxing you to abandon your brother this time? Tell me, okay?”
