For the sake of rebellion.
Gu Jinyue pretended to be a fool for seven years.
When I was demoted from a general's husband to a slave, and my tendons were severed,
she remained unmoved.
“I don't know him. A liar like that doesn't deserve to be my husband.”
When our son was dashed to death,
she clapped and giggled like a fool.
I overheard Gu Jinyue and her subordinates plotting it all.
“Once the winter hunt is over, I'll use the opportunity to act normal again.”
“There's no harm in explaining it then.”
So I arranged to fake my death during the winter hunt.
Later,
I heard that Gu Jinyue regained her sanity overnight
and frantically searched for the husband who had already been buried.
