The boldest thing Lin Zhixia ever did was take her cousin's place in an arranged marriage.
On her first day at the Gu household, she pretended to be pitiful and to truly admire Gu Shoushan, winning him over on the spot.
On her second day there, she persuaded her sister-in-law to make a scene at the Lin family home. That way, her uncle's family wouldn't get a chance to smear her, and she could also get back most of the betrothal gifts.
After all that, she became a Gu family daughter-in-law in name as well as in fact.
Every step she took was calculated, and all she wanted was a peaceful life from then on.
On their wedding night, Gu Shoushan discovered that the bride had been switched. Before he could even ask why, Lin Zhixia's claim that she loved him persuaded him.
Looking at the girl sitting before him, crying pitifully, he decided on the spot that he would take her as his wife, as long as she was willing.
As the days went by, the two slowly opened up to each other and revealed their true temperaments.
When Lin Zhixia came up with a wild idea, Gu Shoushan would help her work out a plan.
And when Gu Shoushan ran into trouble, Lin Zhixia would stand firmly by his side.
Together, the couple lived happily ever after.
