Calling Off the Engagement at the Funeral? My Sister-in-Law Heard My Thoughts and Forced Me to the Wedding Altar

His nine elder brothers died on the battlefield, and nine coffins returned to the capital.

Chu Jinghong was still keeping vigil in the mourning hall when his childhood sweetheart, his fiancee, arrived with the noblewoman originally promised to his eldest brother. Together, they came to break off their engagements.

He picked up his brush and signed at once, thinking to himself:

[Fine, break them off! Those nine coffins didn't bring misfortune. They brought nine legacies of ancient origins!]

[Miss Jiang, your father is about to be in danger. You don't need to cling to our old engagement anymore.]

[If you're willing to help me shoulder the burdens of both households, the sleeping power of the female emperor can awaken, and the Chu family will be saved. But he could hardly bring himself to say it aloud.]

The next moment, the cool and aloof Jiang Luoshen grabbed his sleeve and placed a red marriage certificate on the altar:

"If they won't marry you, I will. Chu Jinghong, we'll have the wedding tonight."

Chu Jinghong was completely stunned.

All he wanted was to hide his strength, find a quiet place by the sea, and live at his leisure. He never expected to marry his widowed sister-in-law and turn her into the lady of the house.

The worst part was that just as he decided to go alone to a secret realm, Jiang Luoshen pressed down on his hand:

"Wherever you want to go, you can't hide it from me."
