After My Cheap Husband Faked His Death, I Ended Up Happily Ever After with His Younger Brother

Luo Huai is the long-lost child of the Luo family in Bin City, separated for over a decade. Upon being recognized and brought back, he readily accepts an arranged marriage for the sake of a massive dowry.

His “cheap” husband has someone else in his heart and has declared that he will never touch him. That is perfect; he is just a walking ATM. Thus, Luo Huai puts on a performance of being affectionate and sensible while actually avoiding all physical contact. On his wedding night, after counting the red envelopes and reveling in his newfound leisure, Luo Huai sneaks out to have some fun, only to stumble straight into the arms of a handsome Alpha.

The following day, when he returns home, his father points to that very man from last night and says, “Come, this is the brother I made through business years ago. Call him Uncle.”

Luo Huai: “……”

Pei Jiheng raises an eyebrow as he looks at him. “Didn’t you sleep well last night?”

Luo Huai keeps his smile unchanged. “It was my wedding night, after all. I could not sleep.”

Across the dining table, the two exchange glances. One face says with amusement: “You, keep on pretending.” The other replies in kind: “You, too.”

Pei Jiheng has money, looks, and power. His pheromones are incredibly pleasant, and he is deliberately hiding his identity as an Alpha. With leverage in hand and a need for a powerful backer, Luo Huai decides to get close to this mysterious man. From feigning drunkenness and teasing to playing the victim, Pei Jiheng plays along with him in this game of forbidden desire.

Later, the brain-dead husband, preaching that “true love is supreme,” runs away with his white moonlight in a staged death, hoping to see Luo Huai heartbroken. At the funeral, Luo Huai cries his eyes out, only to curl up in Pei Jiheng’s arms that very night. “I am finally free.”

Pei Jiheng’s eyes darken as he tilts Luo Huai’s chin upward. “Is it really that fun to stir up trouble?”

Luo Huai: “It is you whom I am fond of.”

{The world owed me a frame of Huai; I happened to encounter you.}
