The second most socially mortifying thing Wen Sui has ever done was drunkenly babble nonsense. To show off in front of her ex-boyfriend, she went and found herself a husband.

*

When she woke up, she was horrified to find a young man lying beside her. He had fair, cool-toned skin, neat black hair, and striking features.

The man opened his eyes, perfectly calm. "Sis, you were praising me yesterday."

Wen Sui's lips trembled. "Praising you for what?" If she remembered correctly... wasn't he her younger brother's classmate?

He curled his lips into a smile. "You said I had great stamina."

*

The two of them agreed to a marriage of convenience. After the wedding, they'd leave each other alone, and if either found true love, they'd divorce amicably.

But...

Her fake husband turned out to be a real jealousy freak. (Exhausted.)

Wen Sui chatted a little too long with an old classmate, so Zhou Si made sure the man was sprawled on the basketball court, completely worn out. Even after winning, he couldn't resist a sarcastic jab: "Men get out of shape as they age."

Wen Sui replied to her intern brother's message after work. The next day, Zhou Si, who should have gone home to inherit the throne, applied for a job at her company, insisting, "Let's see how many other little brothers you've got."

After a few times, there wasn't a single male creature within ten miles of Wen Sui.

*

Wen Sui had always thought she'd married Zhou Si by chance, until the day she took him home.

Wen Li opened the door and froze for two seconds at the sight of their tightly clasped hands. Then he swung a fist at Zhou Si in fury. "The unattainable love you told me you'd finally won was my sister? I thought you were my brother, and you want to be my brother-in-law!"

And the most socially mortifying thing Wen Sui has ever done was realizing that, shamefully, she'd fallen for Zhou Si too!

*

Extra scene:

Late at night, the phone on the bedside table rang. Zhou Si reached out to answer it.

"Wen Sui, I know you were joking when you said you wanted to get married. Get back together with me?"

He replied calmly, "No need. My wife is asleep."

The woman beside him had flushed cheeks and unfocused eyes. She asked in confusion, "Who was that?"

"An insurance salesman." He hung up. "Now, where were we?"
