I Accidentally Won Over the Female Lead's Older Brother

One day at a banquet, Lu Jiaojiao accidentally falls into the water and loses consciousness. A story suddenly appears in her mind. The heroine of the story is Chu Nanci, a cousin who is currently living in the rear courtyard of the Duke's manor. She is gentle, kind, intelligent, and beautiful. Lu Jiaojiao, meanwhile, is the Duke's spoiled daughter. She has a stunning face but is utterly useless. Time and again, she envies and schemes against Chu Nanci, who is magnanimous and never holds it against her. But Lu Jiaojiao won't let up, and ends up suffering the consequences herself. She gets the full set: disfigurement, disability, and loss of her chastity. Her actions also bring the Duke's family under attack from Chu Nanci's admirers, and the household steadily declines. When Lu Jiaojiao wakes, she shudders, scrambles up, and runs to the rear courtyard. She throws herself at Chu Nanci and looks up with teary eyes. "Jiaojiao likes Sister Aci best!" Chu Nanci: "..." ** To avoid the tragic fate laid out in the story, Lu Jiaojiao treats Chu Nanci like royalty. When Chu Nanci frowns, Lu Jiaojiao summons the most famous opera troupe in the capital to entertain her. When Chu Nanci falls ill, Lu Jiaojiao stays up all night caring for her herself. When Chu Nanci falls in love, Lu Jiaojiao risks ruining her own reputation to help her exchange letters with the male lead, a general. At last, the day of Chu Nanci's wedding to the general arrives. Her own beauty is still intact, and the Duke's household is more powerful than ever. Lu Jiaojiao is relieved. She lets out a long breath and starts thinking about picking a handsome young man to reward herself with. But on the very night word spreads that the Duke's daughter is looking for a husband, Chu Nanci, now married into the general's household, comes back. Chu Nanci is a skilled martial artist with superb lightness skills. She vaults into Lu Jiaojiao's bedroom and looks at her as if she were a heartless traitor. Lu Jiaojiao: "..." Is there something wrong with me? [Bonus Scene] Chu Nanci coldly challenges the woman who heartlessly abandoned her. "Lu Jiaojiao, you don't want me anymore?" Lu Jiaojiao doesn't understand, but is deeply shocked. "Huh?" Does she mean what Lu Jiaojiao thinks she means? No, no, no! Lu Jiaojiao: She may be available, but she's not exactly eager.
