[Revenge for a married woman + Machiavellian strategy in ancient times + Marriage first, love later]
Seven years ago, the Pei family was convicted of collaborating with the enemy, and everyone in the Pei family was convicted.
Seven years later, his cousin escaped from the marriage, and his aunt forced Pei Zhaoning to marry him instead.
She agreed.
Because the father of the groom, Gu Huaizhou, was the man who testified against the Pei family back then.
She married into an enemy family under a false identity and prepared to investigate her father's injustice.
On the wedding night, Gu Huaizhou accurately called her by her real name.
No report was made to the official, nor was it exposed. He handed her a letter in blood.
It's her father's handwriting.
She wanted to overturn the verdict, and he wanted to save the Gu family.
During the day, the two pretended to be a loving couple; behind closed doors, they had to think twice about even telling the truth.
Until she found out that the Gu family's testimony was false, he still refused to hand over his father; until the Queen Mother sent someone to trace the bride's identity, he took the first step to protect her behind her.
And her brother, who had been separated for seven years, has now become the Queen Mother's confidant.
Her brother advised her to run away, but her husband advised her to wait.
Pei Zhaoning didn't listen to anyone.
She has lived under someone else's name for seven years.
This time, she wanted the names of the Pei family to appear openly on the verdict that overturned the case.
