Down-on-her-luck heiress vs. wealthy heir
Gu Yanxi’s brother lost money gambling and offered her as collateral to his creditor. To keep her brother safe, she eventually signed the contract.
When she first met Jiang Yufeng, she was tipsy and leaned close to whisper in his ear, “You’re so handsome. I want to take you home.”
As the drunkenness carried her into a dream, he leaned against her and murmured softly, “You don’t have to remember anything. Let’s just start over.”
On the wedding day, the creditor sent over an extravagant phoenix crown and bridal robe. There was no grand procession in scarlet, the scene she had once imagined, with bridesmaids dressed as maids trailing behind her. Only her older sister stood at her side.
On their wedding night, the creditor appeared in red as well. “Do you like the bridal suite I prepared for you?”
His voice was lovely, and oddly familiar. She wasn’t sure, so she listened again.
The creditor spoke once more. “What’s the matter, cat got your tongue?”
Now she was sure, but couldn’t believe it. She had to hear it one more time.
“Say something!” Jiang Yufeng said, his voice cool, with a hint of anger.
It really was him. Before the creditor could lift her veil, Gu Yanxi pulled it off herself.
It really was him. How could it possibly be him… Thank goodness it was him!
