After Mistaking Someone Else for My Dream Husband

The wife-chasing redemption arc + a brotherly love triangle

After her family fell into ruin, Jiang Yun became a cousin who lived as a guest in the Duke of Cheng's household.

The Duke of Cheng's family had served the court for generations. Every young man in the household was as refined as a sprig of orchid or a jade tree. Even the least remarkable son born to a concubine was someone she couldn't hope to reach, even on stilts.

But ever since Jiang Yun entered the household, she had kept dreaming of her husband from her past life.

Her husband had been born into the Duke's household, and they had been deeply in love. The trouble was, Jiang Yun could never see his face clearly.

Until she met the most formidable young heir to the dukedom.

Jiang Yun's mind went off like a firecracker.

Pei Xingzhi, the young heir to the dukedom, had been brilliant from a young age, but was cold and aloof.

Thinking of the love they had shared in her previous life, Jiang Yun sought chances to appear before him and went to great lengths to show him her affection. But Pei Xingzhi remained distant and indifferent, looking at her with a gaze that seemed both mocking and scornful.

Then one day, after she fell into the water, Jiang Yun had a nightmare.

In the dream, she finally saw her husband's face. Holding his hand, she respectfully addressed Pei Xingzhi as "Elder Brother."

Her husband was actually Pei Xingzhi's younger brother!

Terrified, Jiang Yun woke up and immediately put distance between herself and Pei Xingzhi. She destroyed everything he had sent her that very night and began avoiding him from then on.

-

Pei Xingzhi did not like this cousin who had suddenly appeared in his life.

She was vain about her beauty, approached him again and again, and took every opportunity to confess her feelings. When he was injured, she even bossed him around as if she had every right to.

Yet, somehow, he gradually grew used to picking out her slender, charming figure in a crowd, wearing the sachet she had given him, and feeling her touch.

Pei Xingzhi thought that even if he did not love her, she would still make a suitable wife.

Until Pei Xingyue appeared.

Jiang Yun looked at him, flustered and distracted, as if something had taken root and begun to sprout in her heart.

After that, she seemed to have tired of him. She no longer devoted herself to him, but treated Pei Xingyue with tender care. When the two men fell unconscious at the same time, she even clung to Pei Xingzhi's hand, calling him "Husband" in utter heartbreak.

She did not even ask how badly he was hurt.

Pei Xingzhi's eyes reddened as he stared at her with a cold laugh. His voice was low and barely perceptibly hoarse: "Then what am I to you?"

For the first time, the girl who had always smiled so gently looked at him with cold indifference, as though he were a stranger, and pulled her hand free.

For the first time in his life, the young heir, famous throughout Shengjing, learned what it meant to be consumed by anguish and denied what he longed for.
