After Breaking Off Our Engagement, My Ex Climbs Over the Wall at Midnight to Beg Me to Take Him Back

After breaking off her engagement to the former Crown Prince, Gu Qingheng's career in government flourished. When they crossed paths at court, he found fault with her at every turn. Everyone said the former Crown Prince could not bear being jilted by Lady Gu, but Lady Gu knew that this sanctimonious man would often sneak over the wall into the Gu residence late at night, claiming he had long been attracted to her beauty. Ha! As if I'd believe that! To Gu Qingheng, if he retreated to the northern frontier, she would ride with him beyond the passes; if he turned his sword toward the imperial palace, she would follow him through fire and blade. To Mu Xuanyi, whether advancing or retreating, all he wanted was to spend his life by her side in peace. If I stand at the summit, you too can look down upon the world. Years later, Gu Qingheng retired to Mount Hongmeng to help stabilize the court. There, she awaited a procession of wedding gifts stretching for miles, and her place in the empress's palace. Beside the phoenix carriage, Mu Xuanyi supported her aboard, his eyes full of tenderness. “Those stubborn old fools who once opposed your becoming empress knelt at the palace gates for three days, begging me to come marry you as soon as possible. My Zhizhi, are you satisfied?”
