Evil Supporting Actress Living as a Widow? Husband’s Brother, I’m So Scared

Brother steals younger brother's wife and deliberate seduction.

A black-bellied villainess x a cold, abstinent, and aloof Grand Tutor.

In her previous life, Pei Jingxu kept vigil as a widow for three years after her husband, Rong Xuanzhou, died in battle, only to wait for him to return to the capital with the widow of his comrade, Bai Shutong, and a pair of children.

The Rong family’s parents remained silent, only urging her to be virtuous and magnanimous.

That widow was peerlessly beautiful, and not long after entering the capital she stirred up jealous rivalry among the capital’s nobles. Even Rong Xuanzhou was drawn to her, treating her with tenderness and care.

In the end, Pei Jingxu was used as a token of allegiance by one of Bai Shutong’s suitors and drowned in the lotus pond.

Only when she was on the brink of death did she realize that she had been living inside a harem-style story, and that she was merely an obstacle on the heroine Bai Shutong’s road to being cherished above all in the capital.

Reborn in a second life, Pei Jingxu, as the villainess, realized that before the heroine returned to the capital, she needed to find herself a powerful backer.

So Pei Jingxu set her sights on the Rong family’s eldest son, the peerlessly elegant and crane-boned Rong Jianxue, the current Grand Tutor.

That night, Pei Jingxu’s eyes were red, her thin clothes barely concealing her, and she knocked on his door in tears like pear blossoms in the rain: “Elder brother-in-law, Second Brother is not here. Ah Xu is really scared...”

Rong Jianxue’s gaze grew dark and cold, and the Buddhist beads in his sleeve tightened bead by bead.

After Rong Xuanzhou returned to the capital, he discovered that his wife no longer clung to him, but instead frequently went in and out of his elder brother’s residence.

Knowing how strict his brother had always been, Rong Xuanzhou said coldly to her, “If you soften up and admit fault, I’ll have Big Brother stop punishing you.”

Behind the screen, Rong Jianxue pulled back the half of her jade-like arm in his grasp.

The man’s expression was obscured as he answered in a hoarse voice for her: “She deserves punishment.”

Later, Pei Jingxu ran away.

Outside the city, private soldiers stood in formation, and the man advanced step by step, the madness in his eyes overwhelming: “A Xu was right. We should indeed have a child.”
