[Pretend Siblings + The Pursuit of His Wife After the Breakup]
Yun Zheng had admired Su Chaoting, the noble young master from an eminent family, whose bearing was as pure as moonlight and whose talent was exceptional, for three whole years. No matter how many ways she tried to show her affection, Su Chaoting remained unmoved and treated her with indifference.
One spring, a sudden rainstorm trapped Yun Zheng and Su Chaoting in the wilderness for an entire night. Su Chaoting had caught a chill and was burning with a fever, almost unconscious. Ignoring propriety between men and women, she used her body heat to keep him warm. In his delirium, he promised, "I will marry you."
Before long, a procession came to propose marriage, but it did not head for the Yun residence. It turned into the Xu residence across the way, where her closest friend lived.
Yun Zheng ran over to confront them.
She said, "Yun Zheng, I love him just as much as you do."
He said, "Miss Yun, things rarely go as one wishes. Forget me."
The next day, someone saw Yun Zheng push her former friend into the lake. Her reputation was ruined, and her elders sent her back to her hometown.

The day after the marriage negotiations, Su Chaoting was transferred to another region in the dead of night. On his way to take up his post, he happened to rescue Yun Zheng from river bandits.
As fate would have it, Yun Zheng was unlucky enough to injure her head, leaving her memories jumbled. She mistook Su Chaoting for the older brother who loved her most.
Unable to bear turning her away, he could only let her stay for the time being.

When Su Chaoting unexpectedly learned that Miss Xu had impersonated Yun Zheng on that rainy night, a talented young man came to propose to his "little sister." In Yun Zheng's eyes as she looked at the man, Su Chaoting saw the same joy she had once shown when looking at him.
At that moment, Su Chaoting dug his nails into his palm until it bled. He no longer wanted to be her inexplicable older brother.
