Breaking Up Couples

Gu Chuze is a notorious playboy in Jinling, the unpopular younger son of a marquis's household. The only person who treats him well is his older brother. In Gu Chuze's eyes, Gu Qingyan is handsome and refined, a man worthy of only the most peerless beauty.

One day, however, Lu Wanting, the daughter of a former minister whose family has fallen on hard times, arrives with the marquis's token and demands that his brother marry her.

Gu Chuze had assumed Lu Wanting was gentle and virtuous, and had fallen for his brother. But he personally witnesses her getting entangled with another man. Her desire to marry his brother is clearly driven by ulterior motives.

Knowing Gu Qingyan, the wedding will go ahead as planned. But Gu Chuze is no gentleman. He will never let Lu Wanting marry his brother. He will ruin their wedding!

**

To escape danger, Lu Wanting travels a thousand miles to seek out her betrothed and demands that Gu Qingyan honor their childhood engagement. But the Gu household has its reservations and keeps putting off a response.

She is selfish and cold, but pretends to be a sweet, innocent girl, carefully plotting to push the wedding forward. She is just one step away from marrying into the marquis's household.

Who knew that her future brother-in-law, Gu Chuze, would take an inexplicable dislike to her? Every time she tries to charm Gu Qingyan, he jumps in to sabotage her.

She is no helpless flower for others to trample on! If Gu Chuze wants to cause trouble, then she'll make sure his plans fail.

**

At last, the wedding night arrives. But the one who lifts her veil is none other than Gu Chuze, the infamous troublemaker! The groom, Gu Qingyan, is nowhere to be seen.

Gu Chuze stands beside the bed and chuckles. "Sister-in-law, surprised?"

**

Three years later, the "dead" Gu Qingyan suddenly reappears. Jinling has changed beyond recognition.

Gu Qingyan pats his younger brother Gu Chuze on the shoulder and says warmly, "Aze, thank you for taking care of your sister-in-law."

Gu Chuze looks him in the eye. "Brother, you've got it wrong. She's your younger brother's wife."

Reader's guide:
