Xuanhuan: I Marry the Future Empress After Taking My Brother’s Place in a Political Marriage

Gu Yuan was reborn, back on the eve of the marriage arranged in his place for his younger brother! His younger brother despised his fiancée, a fallen cripple, and refused to marry her. His parents favored his brother and forced Gu Yuan to marry into her family in his place. No, not marry into the family, just marry her. Everyone thought Gu Yuan was nothing but a joke, shoved forward to take the blame. But only Gu Yuan knew that Ning Zhaoyue, the Ning family’s daughter, now covered in old injuries and looked down on by all, would rise to the top, overwhelm the heavens, and become the mighty Xuantian Empress who ruled the world! If no one else wants this marriage, he does! If no one else values this woman, he will cherish her! If no one else recognizes this opportunity, he’ll claim it first! More importantly, Gu Yuan had awakened the Heaven’s Mandate Investment Return System. Invest in those chosen by fate, and the stronger they become, the greater the returns! Invest in the future Empress, and earn cultivation, comprehension, aptitude, and martial arts! Invest in a hidden dragon among the prodigies, and earn perception, opportunities, and trump cards! From then on, Gu Yuan slapped the favored Gu family in the face, crushed his arrogant younger brother, and led the future Empress to sweep across the land, snatch up every opportunity, and trample the prodigies! Years later, the Empress sat high above the nine heavens, gazing down on countless worlds. The Gu family was consumed by regret, his enemies were on their knees, and the mighty of the heavens were all dumbstruck. They couldn’t understand it: How had the Gu family’s discarded son, once forced to marry in his younger brother’s place, suddenly ended up standing beside the Empress?
