A Match Made by the Spring Breeze

[Ridiculously Wealthy Fourth Miss Gu × Crybaby Court Official Lu] [Slow-Burn Romance + Pure, Undying Love]

[A Man’s Best Dowry Is His Vulnerability]

For her sixteenth birthday, her fiancé gave her a deed of annulment, saying that now he had passed the imperial examinations, he could not take a merchant’s daughter as his wife.

Gu Linjia laughed in disbelief. She burned their engagement contract in front of him and decided she must have been blind to fall for him.

Who could have guessed that an imperial edict would arrive right after the engagement ended?

The emperor decreed that Fourth Miss Gu, Gu Linjia, was unmarried, and that she and Lu Chengzhen, the current Minister of Personnel, were a well-matched couple. He ordered her to choose a date to marry Minister Lu and bring him into her household.

Lu Chengzhen was nineteen, handsome and dashing, the current Minister of Personnel and the emperor’s own younger brother, with great influence in both the court and the imperial family.

Gu Linjia: ...

She had complicated feelings and nothing to say.

On their wedding night

Fourth Miss Gu had never imagined things would turn out like this:

The young man in his crimson wedding robe was every inch a noble and radiant beauty. Before they even entered the bridal chamber, he clung to her waist and cried pitifully, accusing Gu Linjia of breaking her word. Then he pulled out a marriage contract in her own handwriting to prove his point.

Gu Linjia looked at the contract and saw the signature date in the lower-right corner: the third year of Jiaping.

Wait, wasn’t she only five years old that year...?

The latest gossip:

“Minister Lu walks around with his tail practically in the air now that he’s married.”

“Minister Lu is so pleased with himself, he wants the whole world to know he’s married.”

“I hear Minister Lu cries at home all the time.”
