[An emperor who doesn't realize he's in love with her vs. a stunning beauty, bright and cool-hearted]
The day Gu Yunshu received the imperial edict arranging her marriage, she was completely dumbfounded. What? Her brother-in-law was to become her husband? Well, what's done is done. Just watch me shed a single tear and act until His Highness Prince An is heartbroken.
Qi Yu married Gu Yunshu at first only to secure Grand Tutor Gu's support in the struggle for the throne.
At the start of their marriage, Qi Yu thought: The Gu girl is charming and gentle. I may as well indulge her a little. Take the brocade and make some clothes for Noble Consort Gu. Give her the gold and silver jewelry to play with.
Several years into their marriage, Qi Yu thought: Take Noble Consort Zhao out of the palace for a visit, and make her empress. My Yun'er, my darling, I, Qi Yu, can only love Gu Yunshu in this life.
