He Broke Off Our Engagement, Then Wanted Me as a Concubine. I Married a Prince Instead

The Earl of Guangning’s household had fallen on hard times, but the Chu family’s wealth had helped restore its former splendor.

Gu Chengye was insatiably ambitious, hoping to climb even higher and bring the earl’s household to greater heights.

He broke his promise and went back on his betrothal to marry the legitimate daughter of the Duke’s household, yet still refused to let Chu Qiaoyi go. He even came up with the absurd idea of taking her as a favored concubine.

Chu Qiaoyi would never let him get his way.

If she was going to marry in this lifetime, she, Chu Qiaoyi, would wear a bright red wedding dress and become the household’s proper, legitimate mistress.

A scoundrel who wants to have his cake and eat it too will surely be punished by heaven.
