[Historical Romance + System + Devoted Couple + Fictional Setting]
With a single marriage contract, Chi Yu was married off to the disabled heir of the Duke of Ning’s household as a good-luck bride. It was tantamount to throwing away the rest of her life, and everyone lamented her fate.
Gu Yuan felt the same.
On their wedding night,
he looked at the radiant young woman beside him and spoke coolly:
“Since you’ve married into my family, I can only raise you as a younger sister for now. When our fate together runs its course, I’ll find you a good husband.”
An accident sent him tumbling from the clouds, and everyone abandoned him.
He had assumed that once he lost his power, Chi Yu would take the opportunity to break off their engagement.
To his surprise, she still married him.
He was already mired in a swamp and shouldn’t drag an innocent person into it.
That night, he laid the truth bare before her, trying to drive away this naive young woman.
But the person beside him, on hearing his words, reached out and hooked her little finger around his, her expression serious. “A younger sister? We just finished the wedding ceremony! Did you think it was all a fart?”
Later, Gu Yuan rose to power, and countless members of the nobility sought to marry into his family. Even the most distinguished young lady in the capital lowered her status, asking only to become his secondary wife.
For a match so well suited in status, everyone urged him to abandon Chi Yu and marry the noblewoman.
But before the speaker could finish, they nearly lost their life on the spot.
Gu Yuan shed his usual gentle and refined manner and went berserk, punching the person over and over, trying to beat them to death. No one could stop him.
Until Chi Yu arrived.
He looked at her, his helpless gaze full of devotion. He hid his blood-covered hands behind his back, then slowly edged toward her, looking utterly aggrieved as he buried his head in the crook of her neck with a soft whine.
P.S. The entire story is set in a fictional world!
