Did I Get the Wrong One? That's the Male Lead's Brother!

In a certain Mary Sue novel, Qiao Si is the top beauty at an elite school for the nobility: beautiful and picky, yet frail and sickly, often suffering heartaches that leave her at death's door, as delicate as the Princess and the Pea.

To stay alive, Qiao Si dutifully gets close to the novel's favored men, starting with the fiance she has not seen in years.

Knowing her fiance will eventually break off their engagement for the heroine, Qiao Si has no qualms about milking the situation, often putting on a lovesick act with her "fiance."

"Didn't you promise to stay with me as I grew up? Are you really going to abandon me for her?"

"You won't even say a word for me? Am I not your one and only anymore? Won't you protect me again?"

As she gets carried away with her performance, her "fiance" hands her a clean handkerchief. His brusque tone unexpectedly softens with patience. "Come here. I'll protect you."

The shadow cast by the light is tall and broad, enveloping her completely.

Qiao Si stops crying and is instantly dazed.

???

Did she get the wrong guy?!

That's the male lead's older brother!

Qiao Si's fiance has been feeling rather frustrated lately.

His clingy childhood fiancee ignored him after they reunited, instead constantly pursuing his older brother...

At a certain banquet, the girl stunned everyone in an elegant, smoky-colored evening gown.

At last, when it ended, he stopped her, ready to demand an explanation.

But the girl looked at him in confusion. "Sorry, could you let me through?"

She walked past him toward the eye-catching red supercar outside.

A bold, wild man was sitting in the driver's seat...

Her fiance's eyes widened in shock. "Sisi..."

The man bit down on his cigarette and corrected him: "Call her sister-in-law!"
