Xue Yi, the youngest daughter of a family of imperial physicians, and Gu Xilou, the youngest son of an imperial merchant family, made an engagement since childhood.
The bride is beautiful and gentle, and there is nothing wrong with her except that she is timid and dare not go out when it gets dark.
The bridegroom is an upright and well-behaved man, and has nothing wrong with him except his weak bones and his shortness of breath every step of the way.
One day a man got married and a woman got married, and both families were overjoyed. Everyone said that the two newlyweds were a perfect match and would live a prosperous life.
The bride has a secret. She is not actually Xue Yi. Her real name is Lu Jianchun, and she entered the Gu family as a substitute for marriage, just to get a valuable treasure secretly hidden by the Gu family.
But before she could get the thing, she discovered another secret. Her husband was not the real Gu Xilou, and he had another purpose in sneaking into the Gu family for marriage.
Bad news: Under his skin is her old enemy Li Yinghai.
Good news: He doesn't seem to have figured out that she's an imposter yet.
Lu Jianchun carefully played the role of the virtuous and virtuous Mrs. Gu. She spoke softly every day and took good care of her sick husband. One day, she coaxed Li Yinghai to have a deep love for her, and he was willing to take risks to steal a valuable treasure for her.
After the thing was obtained, Lu Jianchun stopped staying and ran away. As soon as she climbed out of the fence, she was held back by someone with a sword. Her sickly husband had a smile on his face: "Madam, I want to leave right after you use me. How can anything in the world be so cheap?"
***
Li Yinghai received a commission and pretended to be his employer to get married for him. As long as he plays "Gu Xilou" for three months, he can get a thousand taels of silver. Naturally, he will not struggle with money and happily accepts this commission.
At first, he was just in it for the money.
Later, he discovered that his "wife" hid many secrets.
Later, he discovered that what he had done might be a loss-making business that even cost him money.
