Pursuing My Husband

Male Substitute / Love by Force

The Northern and Southern Dynasties had fought for years without a victor. Sometimes the east wind prevailed over the west, and sometimes the west wind prevailed over the east.

The most esteemed eldest princess of the Northern Dynasty had a first love who died young. Gu Zijin was fortunate enough to bear some resemblance to this lost love. As a spy from the Southern Dynasty, he deliberately approached the princess for the sake of high office and generous rewards, not romantic affection.

He never expected that the year he spent in the princess's residence would become a memory he could never forget. He not only came close to losing his life, but also gave away his heart.

1. Read the title carefully. The story is told from the male lead's perspective. Readers who require a chaste male lead, those firmly on the male lead's side, and those who only enjoy pure romance should beware. She's the eldest princess, after all. Being a little heartless comes naturally to her. This is not a female-dominated world. 2. A short story, probably a few tens of thousands of words. Just a writing exercise. 3. There will be angst, both emotional and physical, but it has a happy ending.

Theme: Love has no first come, first served.
