Liu Qingci obeyed his grandmother's death and went to Beijing with half a jade pendant to find the Erlang of the Gu family who had made a marriage contract that year.
But as soon as she arrived in the capital, she heard that her fiancé Gu Huaijin had a sweetheart and planned to break off the engagement and marry another. Liu Qingci did not cry or make trouble, and decided to break off the engagement and return to his hometown on the spot, but was stopped by a gentle and noble husband.
He came to her rescue, accompanied her to check accounts, helped her gain a foothold in the Gu family, and also protected her time and time again when she was slighted.
Liu Qingci thought that he was the fiancé who suddenly repented.
It wasn't until the wedding day that the real Gu Huaijin burst into the wedding hall with her sweetheart, and the guests in the hall were in an uproar. She didn't know that the person accompanying her to the wedding hall was not Gu Huaijin at all, but the most powerful uncle in the Gu family, Gu Yanzhou.
She left angrily, refusing to forgive him for hiding it.
But as her grandmother's old letters were uncovered and her parents' old cases came to light, Liu Qingci discovered that the person who really got engaged to her back then was Gu Yanzhou. The so-called admission of mistake was nothing more than a scam created by the Gu family after they secretly exchanged marriage certificates in order to gain access to powerful people.
Gu Yanzhou had been waiting for her for many years, but because he was entangled in old cases, he did not dare to recognize her rashly.
One wants the truth, and the other wants to protect her.
From the breakup of the engagement to the reversal of the case in the ancestral hall, from the opening of the drug store to the old court case, Liu Qingci gradually tore apart the hypocrisy of the Gu family, and finally saw clearly the person who was silently guarding behind her.
This time, she was not pushed to get married by her grandmother's orders.
She has to choose herself.
Choose innocence, choose the truth, and choose the person who has been waiting for her for a long time.
