Betrayed By Husband, Stolen By Brother In Law

har_k
Melanie Collins was the perfect wife—caring, strong, and dependable. For the last few years, she had managed her husband’s messy family, and business alone while waiting for her husband to return from studying abroad. But when he finally came back, Melanie’s world fell apart—he wasn’t alone. Along with him was his 'best' friend. Broken and confused about the change in her husband, Melanie didn’t know where to turn. And then she stumbled into another cold reality. Everything she had believed was a lie. Seething with anger and humiliation, as she tried to come to terms with the betrayal, an unexpected person steps into the picture, intent on seducing her and conquering her. The only problem? The man was her ex brother in law... And against her better judgment, she is attracted to this bad boy... But as Melanie tried to make sense of the changes, she discovered there was more going on than she ever imagined. Had both brothers loved really fallen in love with her? Or was she just a pawn in a bigger game? excerpt Since he had already been leaning against the table, he simply slid onto it, and with one swift motion, he hooked his boot around the leg of her chair and pulled it—pulled her—closer.The sudden movement made her jolt slightly, and when she looked up or rather when she looked ahead, she found herself staring directly at the zipper of his jeans... She looked up then and met his gaze. He caught her chin," Would you like to check if I am only pretending, sweet melon?"Melanie stiffened. And then pushed back her chair suddenly, so that Adam almost lost his balance, as she stood up. Before he could balance himself, she placed her hand on his shoulder, her fingers brushing against his neck.  Adam stiffened, his eyes glittering as he waited to see what she would do next. And she, of course surprised him as her other hand, slowly settled on the inside of his thigh. And then, the hand on his shoulder started to move. Her fingers tracing the side of his neck before lifting as she shot a glance to the corner of his mouth. The little piece of metal glinting there. She flicked at it lightly, barely a touch, but Adam could feel the heat all over his body, as she leaned in close, her lips barely a few centimetres away...so that they could both feel each other's breaths… She smiled slowly then. "Careful, Adam," she murmured, her voice playful, but carrying the unmistakable edge of a challenge. "Keep pushing, and I just might call your bluff."

Becoming a Prince in Ancient Times

The story unfolds in the **Great Shang Dynasty**, a fictional ancient Chinese empire rife with courtly conspiracies, warlord rivalries, and foreign threats. The dynasty was weakened by internal power struggles among princes and external pressures from neighboring nations like **Chu** and **the Turks. The protagonist, **Ye Ling**, a modern-day survivalist and influencer, dies during an expedition and reincarnates as the **Sixth Prince** of Shang—a notorious wastrel despised for his debauchery and political incompetence. However, his new identity holds a hidden advantage: he is the **sole legitimate heir** of the deceased empress, positioning him as a reluctant contender for the throne. --- ### **Opening Scene** **Time:** Early morning, fog-laden. **Key Event** Ye Ling awakens in a lavish palace bedchamber, disoriented by his transmigration. His confusion turns to panic when he discovers **Fu Yuanyuan**, the **First Prince’s betrothed** and the dynasty’s renowned scholar, lying beside him. The scandalous situation—engineered by political enemies—threatens to destroy both their reputations. Fu Yuanyuan, torn between fury and shame, becomes an unwilling ally as Ye Ling navigates the fallout, using his wit to deflect accusations and turn the tables against his foes. --- ### **Major Plot Points & Conflicts** #### **1. Power Struggles in the Imperial Court** - **Internal Conflict:** Ye Ling faces hostility from his half-brothers, particularly the **First Prince**, who views him as a threat to the throne. The court is divided between loyalists to the deceased empress and factions backing other princes. - **Key Scene:** At a state banquet, Ye Ling humiliates the **Chu Kingdom’s envoys** by solving an impossible riddle, saving Shang from ceding strategic territory. His victory earns Emperor Shang’s cautious approval but deepens his rivalry with the First Prince. #### **2. Modern Knowledge vs. Ancient Challenges** - **Technological Innovation:** Ye Ling leverages his survival skills and scientific knowledge to revolutionize Shang’s military. For example, he designs the **Mòdāo (陌刀)**, a legendary long-bladed weapon capable of decimating cavalry, and introduces **blast-furnace steelmaking** to arm the dynasty. - **Climactic Battle:** During a border clash with the Turks, Ye Ling’s modern tactics and weapons—including early gunpowder devices—secure a decisive victory, solidifying his reputation as a military genius. #### **4. The Climax: Rebellion and Redemption** - **Betrayal & Siege:** The First Prince allies with corrupt ministers and the Turks to stage a coup. Ye Ling, exiled to a frontier province, rallies marginalized factions—disgraced generals, peasant militias, and foreign allies—to reclaim the capital. - **Final Showdown:** In a brutal siege, Ye Ling’s **Liao Yuan Crossbow** and psychological warfare dismantle the First Prince’s forces. The emperor, recognizing Ye Ling’s prowess, names him crown prince but warns of the loneliness of power. --- ### **Ending** Ye Ling ascends the throne, marrying Fu Yuanyuan and Zhao Ling’er in a politically charged union. He reforms the bureaucracy, abolishes hereditary privileges, and launches naval expeditions to expand Shang’s influence, including a campaign against **pirates from the Eastern Isles (Japan)**. However, the story closes on a bittersweet note: Ye Ling’s modern morals clash with the ruthlessness required to rule, leaving him to ponder the cost of his ambition.
