The Principal Wife Slacks Off and Seeks a Better Match

Su Wanning was the legitimate daughter of the military Su family. When the old Marquis of Wuning was defeated in battle, she married his legitimate eldest son, Gu Chuze, to preserve the Wuning Marquisate’s title.

The young man had grand ambitions. On their wedding night, he left for the frontier to distinguish himself, personally placing a white jade bracelet on her wrist before he departed. He hoped that, like the unbroken circle of the bracelet, they would see each other every day.

Su Wanning cherished him in her heart and waited for him for five years. But Gu Chuze returned to the marquis’s residence with a woman and two boys.

“I married you only for your family’s status. Whether you agree or not, you’re still marrying me.”

Su Wanning saw things clearly and simply gave up, letting the Wuning Marquisate become the laughingstock of the capital. Gu Chuze finally came to his senses, only to have a bucket of cold water thrown over him.

Tang Jinxuan beamed. “Wanning is the finest woman in the world. Thank goodness Gu Chuze was blind enough to throw her away.”
