A Doomed Match: The Frail, Cold-Hearted Matriarch and Her Aloof Husband

Shangguan Xian, daughter of the eldest prince, has been frail and sickly since childhood and subjected to endless mockery. After losing the one she loves, she sets off for the imperial city to purge the court on behalf of her elder sister. Little does she know she is about to encounter the ill-fated love of her life. Dongfang Gu: After his family fell on hard times, he was forced into the world of pleasure. Proud and ruthless, cold toward others and skilled at manipulating people, he moves effortlessly among women. He thought his life would go on like that forever, never imagining he would meet the woman who would change everything. Shangguan Xian: What did I ever do to owe you in my past life? Dongfang Gu: I’m the thread you can never cut. I’ll haunt you for the rest of your life.
