Shen Zhaoning woke up in a fire.
To be precise, he fell headlong into the pit of the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty.
It took her three days to understand her situation: the original owner was the concubine daughter of the Shen family in Jiaxing Prefecture. Her biological mother died young, and her aunt thought she was an eyesore, so she was stuffed into a sedan chair and married into the half-dead Gu family for her aunt. The groom's official, Gu Yanzhi, vomited half a bowl of blood on their wedding night. Now he is lying on the bed, breathing heavily in and out. The whole family is waiting for her to become a widow.
Shen Zhaoning didn't panic. I worked in the ICU for six years in my previous life. What kind of life and death have I never seen? She rolled up her sleeves and started to clean up the mess, but gradually she discovered that Gu Yanzhi's illness was not simple, the Gu family's water was deeper than she thought, and her own "marrying" into the Gu family was a chess game from beginning to end.
What she didn't expect was that the man who was said to be dying of illness suddenly opened his eyes one night, stared at her for a long time, and said his first words in a hoarse voice:
"You are not the daughter of the Shen family."
Shen Zhaoning almost stopped holding the medicine bowl in his hand.
What she didn't know was that Gu Yanzhi's illness was real, but his mind had never been confused. He knew that he had married the wrong person, and he also knew who made this "mistake". But he had no intention of exposing it.
Because he also has a game of chess to play.
And Shen Zhaoning may be the only chess piece he didn't count.
——Of course, he later discovered that the chess piece was clearly another chess player.
