In his previous life, Gu Cheng was the second son of a butcher's family. He was devotedly in love with a girl from a neighboring village and despised Su Yu, his brother-in-law whom his parents had chosen for him.
When the red sedan came into the door, he treated each other with cold eyes and mistakenly showed his affection to others.
Until disasters happened one after another, his father fell off a cliff and lost his leg, his mother became ill from worry, his younger sister was kidnapped and trafficked, and his brother died in the river. The Gu family building collapsed, relatives and friends were separated, and the former sweetheart showed his true colors of hating the poor and loving the rich.
All lights went out, and only Su Yu stayed in the dilapidated home.
He worked day and night to embroider in exchange for money, and spent his bright eyes with Gu Cheng through the most miserable years. But when Gu Cheng studied hard and became a scholar, Su Yu didn't want to be a drag and jumped into the cold river.
Gu Cheng lost his love and was forced to death with a stick because of debts.
As he lay dying, what lingered in his mind was never the woman who asked for nothing, but Su Yu's thin and forbearing appearance.
When he opened his eyes, he went back to the day of the engagement.
The courtyard is full of locust flowers, the tragedy has not yet begun, the family is still in good health, and Su Yu has not yet stepped into the door of the Gu family.
In this life, he cut off false relationships and curbed his youthful arrogance.
Protect your relatives from disaster, study hard, build a business, and become an official in the imperial examination.
The red wedding candles were swaying, and he gave all his guilt and tenderness to Su Yu.
Noble ladies from the capital came in droves, promising him a beautiful marriage, and wanted to demote Su Yu to a concubine. In the Jinluan Palace, he said frankly that he would rather let down all the dignitaries in the city than the person beside him.
