Wrongly Married to a Warlord

Wang Yuanzhen died from overwork in a research lab and was born into the world as a noblewoman of the Wang clan.

Good news: She comes from a top-tier family and can lie flat amid vast wealth.

Bad news: The Wang clan is known as "servants to three dynasties," and its reputation is utterly rotten.

Wang Yuanzhen was frail at birth, and a Taoist priest predicted that she would die young, so she had to be raised at a Taoist temple. Now that the prophecy has been disproven, her family joyfully welcomes her home.

Before Wang Yuanzhen can get lost in her "city-building game," people start eyeing her as a marriage prospect. But she is no pushover.

To prevent future trouble and keep her husband's family from controlling her, Wang Yuanzhen carefully picks out the perfect husband for herself.

On her wedding day, however, she enters the wrong bridal chamber. Seeing Gu Yuzhao, the fearsome killer, turns her pale with fright, yet she decides to go along with the mistake.

Having finally managed to win her over, Gu Yuzhao has no intention of letting her go. He patiently coaxes her. "I will be no less than him. From now on, I will treat you with a hundredfold, a thousandfold more devotion."

No matter how Gu Yuzhao tries to persuade her, Wang Yuanzhen keeps waving her hands. "There's no need! My marriage to him was only pretend!"

Gu Yuzhao: …

When Gu Yuzhao was gravely wounded and on the brink of death, he saw a woman whose grace seemed woven from light and shadow. She wore a crown of green jade lotuses, with two ribbons hanging down and a beauty mark between her brows. She looked like a celestial goddess descended to earth. He spent three years searching for her, unable to forget her, only to find that the lady had no interest in him. So he had to resort to a few tricks to marry her.
