I’ll Be the Male Lead’s Sister-in-Law - Chapter 1
T/N: Hi, this chapter was originally translated by ShainaG Translations. For some unknown reasons, they decided to delete their whole website in February. I really liked this story and decided to pick it but it was not really possible to re-translate all the chapters done by previous translator so I tried to contact them to get permission but I did not get any reply.
If you’re the previous translator of this series and want us to take down these translations, please reach out to me.
Thank you ^^
Substitute
She was Jiang Mingwei’s substitute, an imitation of the Prince of Jin’s first love.
——
In the third year of the Suihe Era, the Western Han Dynasty, summer.
The Jiang Manor was veiled by dense trees and enshrouded in their green shadows that obscured its cloister, and consequently, the people that walked through it.
Mu Mingtang was dressed in soft blue and fine silver clothing. The two people outside were engrossed in their conversation and did not notice her. Furthermore, her attire was light in color and helped her blend in with the mottled shadows of the surrounding greenery.
However, Mu Mingtang knew that the real reason the usually vigilant Prince of Jin had completely let his guard down was due this reunion with his first love. In his elation, he became careless and thus failed to notice Mu Mingtang.
“I’m sorry for what I did, Brother Ji… I believed in the lies of the barbarians, misunderstood you, and even ran away from home. I am overjoyed that you’ve been doing well. Otherwise, I would…!”
The woman in white was suddenly overtaken by sadness and began to sob. Her face was free of makeup, and her dress was modest. At first glance, her countenance wasn’t particularly captivating, but her beauty was the type that became increasingly prominent the more one looked at her.
When her eyes filled with tears that stubbornly refused to fall, anyone would feel distressed for her. Naturally, Xie Xuanji was no exception. He couldn’t stop himself from stepping closer to her. Although he wanted to hold her, he was afraid it would startle her and thus refrained from doing so.
“It’s alright, Mingwei. Nothing matters more to me than your return. It has been a year, but everything is still the same. The position of the Princess of Jin has always been reserved for you, and only you.”
At this, the woman, “Mingwei,” finally burst into tears. “But… Brother Ji, I am no longer worthy of you. I was deceived by those barbarians and committed such evil acts! I even suspected your love for me and ran away from our wedding! Over the past year, I spent a lot of time thinking about these horrible things, and the more I thought about them, the more afraid I was to come back.”
“Although I was kidnapped by the barbarians, it was due to my own ignorance. I cannot blame anyone but myself. Seeing that you are well and safe is already for me; I don’t dare expect more. I heard that you’re engaged now. That’s good. I’m sure she will take good care of you in my place.”
“No, Mingwei.” Xie Xuanji appeared to be panicking. He took another step forward until his body was almost touching hers. He looked down and forced her to meet his deep gaze.
“I’ve said before that I would always be waiting for you to come back and take you as my princess. However, since the imperial edict was announced, we could not defy it. Thus, Uncle Jiang adopted a daughter from outside to act as your substitute. The fake will always be the fake, and the real will always be the real. Now that you’re back, what need do we still have for the fake? The position of the Princess of Jin has always belonged to you, Jiang Mingwei.”
“But I was kidnapped by the barbarians, and my whereabouts were unknown for a year. Her purity is one of the most important virtues for the women who marry into the imperial family,” she said, her expression turning into one of shame as she lowered her head, revealing her slender neck. “Although I am still pure, who would believe me? If you took me as your princess, you would be ridiculed.”
Contrary to her dejectedness, Xie Xuanji was thrilled when he heard her words. He had always been a calm and gentle man, but at this moment, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud and almost couldn’t stop himself from embracing her.
“Wonderful, that’s wonderful! Mingwei, do you know how happy those words have made me? You didn’t become the woman of another man. Your body is still pure! Don’t worry, I will ensure that no one but you, me, and Uncle and Madam Jiang will know. If an outsider asks, you can say that you were recuperating outside. As for my emperor-father and empress-mother, I will talk to them myself. There will be no issues.”
Jiang Mingwei’s cheeks blossomed with a pink hue as he finished speaking. After a moment, she seemed to have thought of something, causing her face to pale, and she gently pushed him away.
“Brother Ji, I am touched by your feelings, truly, but I am no longer worthy of you. Your future princess is someone else. She is more clever than me, more filial than me, and she wouldn’t make my parents angry like I did. After mother and father adopted her, they must feel closer to her and think that she’s more suitable to be their daughter. Now that the engagement has changed, it is only right for me to walk away. My presence would only delay your marriage and annoy the second young miss.”
“What are you saying, Mingwei?” Xue Xuanji refuted coldly and without hesitation. “I have never held feelings for her, and I’ve always regarded her as your substitute. Uncle and Madam Jiang are of the same mind. If it weren’t for her looks that slightly resemble yours, a lowly refugee like her would never have been able to enter the doors of the Jiang family. She should feel grateful for the year of luxury she enjoyed here. If she forgets her place and dares to target you, however, I would not show her any mercy.”

Throughout the follicular section, these concentrations steadily increase, culminating
in a peak in testosterone and an increase in androstenedione within the preovulatory interval.
In the late luteal section, androstenedione concentrations continue to extend,
however testosterone ranges stay stable (Judd and Yen, 1973, Sinha-Hikim et al., 1998).
Direct assays for testosterone measurement in girls are highly unsure, in distinction to liquid or fuel chromatography and mass spectrometry,
which reveal high precision and reproducibility (Bachmann et al., 2002,
Davis et al., 2019). Moreover, steroid use can disrupt the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis,
a key system regulating fertility.
Prohormones have minimal hormone activity themselves, however they are transformed
by the body’s metabolic processes into energetic androgens.
Interest in prohormones increased following the Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 1990, which made anabolic steroids managed substances within the Usa.
By Way Of the use of prohormones corresponding to androstenedione, 4-androstenediol, 1-androstenediol, and 19-norandrostenedione,
bodybuilders and athletes discovered a means to make use of androgenic compounds
legally. In an attempt to shut this loophole, the Anabolic Steroid Act
of 2004 included prohormones on the listing of illegal anabolic steroids.
Hypogonadism (low testosterone, or “low T”) is a common drawback that’s being increasingly diagnosed by the medical group, primarily because of an increased consciousness
of the issue. Some studies have shown that as many as 20
p.c of men being treated for fertility points have hormone problems similar
to low testosterone.
In my practice, I’ve seen numerous patients
on testosterone therapy or on androgen supplementation for
quite lots of reasons. Relying on the duration of medicine, variety
of brokers used and the dosage, impairment to sperm manufacturing can range from decrease sperm
rely to an absolute cessation in sperm manufacturing and a total absence of sperm
in the ejaculate (also often identified as azoospermia).
Depending on the body’s response to cessation of androgen dietary supplements, a wide range of
therapies are available to assist restore sperm production.
Equally, anovulation and luteal phase deficiency are extra probably to happen amongst exercising in comparison with sedentary ladies [2].
If you’ve been prescribed steroids for a short-term or chronic sickness, don’t be
alarmed about their impression in your fertility. And as at all
times, in case you have questions about which medicines may impact your fertility,
discuss to your doctor. AAS customers are more probably to have large upper arm
circumferences, and an inappropriately small cuff will overestimate blood pressure.
Each pharmacologic agent used as APEDs might trigger unfavorable
unwanted facet effects involving completely
different organs and systems, together with the reproductive one.
In excessive cases, it is troublesome to reverse the side effects of anabolic steroids on fertility.
Still, you needn’t fear as a end result of, due to medical development, it is nonetheless possible
to have your individual baby. Misuse of anabolic steroids is
detrimental in many ways, particularly if you’d like
to have organic children. Whereas the unfavorable consequences may
be short-term and reversible after ending anabolic steroid use, there’s a possibility that you’ll experience long-lasting impacts in your fertility, psychiatric
well being, and extra. Some AAS customers self-medicate with phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5)
inhibitors such as sildenafil to counteract erectile dysfunction (65).
While more data are needed to clarify the cause-and-effect relationship
between psychopathology and exogenous steroid use, the implication of those relationships warrants additional study in potential fashions.
This will allow for an improved understanding of the male infertility patient experience as
clinicians and patients navigate their transition from AAS therapy to various therapies.
Since the original synthesis of testosterone, a
quantity of other medicines have been developed that additionally exploit
the HPG axis. Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), a direct luteinizing hormone
(LH) analogue, has been shown to stimulate testosterone manufacturing by Leydig cells [16].
Males who’re contemplating starting testosterone therapy should consult a qualified physician. Threat
of bias (ROB1, ROB2 or ROBINS-I) was not
used as no randomised interventional or non-randomised trials with the intervention have been available.
The high quality assessment of the included research was performed using the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale (NOS).[13] Two authors (PMM and GRT) analysed the research for high quality
assessment consensually. The high quality assessment of studies as per the NOS scale was done separately for case–control and cohort studies
underneath the subheadings of selection, comparability
and publicity as outlined in the NOS coding handbook.
“Males ought to seek skilled medical recommendation – not from gym buddies and trainers – if they’re involved about their fertility,” says Mossman.
LH launch can be tied to release of Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) a chemical launched by the pituitary to stimulate sperm production.
This is why these substances are also called anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS).
So when you’re trying to build muscle mass, cut fats, or increase testosterone levels with out
risking your well being, then be sure to take a glance at CrazyBulk.
The systematic doping program of the previous German Democratic Republic (GDR) offered evidence of anabolic
steroid and amphetamine use in female athletes (Karila, Kerlan, Christin-Maitre, 2024).
Their dominance at the 1976 Montreal Olympics, profitable 11
of thirteen swimming occasions, raised suspicions as a result of atypical bodily traits like deep voices and broad shoulders, typical signs of steroid-induced masculinization. This success led to increased steroid use among
athletes in other international locations, including the us and Japan (Franke and Berendonk, 1997).
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) banned AAS in 1975 (Hartgens
and Kuipers, 2004).
In women, the approach might embody anti-androgens,
which counteract the results of elevated testosterone ranges.
Hormonal therapies also can regulate menstrual cycles, managing
female infertility and other physiological adjustments.
SERMs negate the negative suggestions on the pituitary exerted by estrogens, and aromatase inhibitors impede the formation of these estrogens.
