Wrongly Married to a Warlord

『Self-serving engineering woman × real tyrant who rose to power on his looks』 Wang Yuanzhen died from overwork in the lab and was born into the world as a noble daughter of the Wang family. Good news: She comes from a top-tier clan and is rich enough to lie flat. Bad news: The Wang family are “servants to three masters,” with a truly terrible reputation. Wang Yuanzhen was frail at birth, and a Taoist priest predicted she would die young. She had no choice but to be raised in a Taoist temple. Now that the prophecy has been disproven, her family joyfully welcomes her home. Before Wang Yuanzhen can lose herself in her “infrastructure-building game,” everyone starts eyeing her marriage prospects. But she is no pushover. To avoid trouble later and keep her future husband’s family from controlling her, Wang Yuanzhen carefully selects the perfect husband for herself. On her wedding day, however, she enters the wrong bridal chamber. Seeing Gu Yuzhao, a fearsome killer, she turns pale with fright, but decides to go along with the mistake. Having finally tricked her into marrying him, Gu Yuzhao has no intention of letting her go. He gently coaxes her: “I will prove myself his equal. From now on, I will treat you with a heart a hundred, a thousand times more devoted.” No matter how Gu Yuzhao tries to persuade her, Wang Yuanzhen keeps waving him off. “There’s no need! My marriage to him was fake!” Gu Yuzhao: … When Gu Yuzhao was gravely wounded and near death, he saw a woman whose grace seemed woven into the light and shadows. She wore a crown of blue jade shaped like a lotus, with two ribbons hanging down, and a beauty mark between her brows like Guanyin’s. She seemed like a celestial maiden descended from the heavens. He couldn’t forget her, and searched for three years. But the lady had no interest in him, so he had to resort to a few tricks to marry her. After the wedding, Gu Yuzhao willingly shares power with Wang Yuanzhen to keep her by his side. Just as the young couple’s life gets on track, pirates attack, and Gu Yuzhao leads the army into battle. To drive off the pirates, Wang Yuanzhen puts her best skills to use and builds a whole fleet of seagoing ships and cannons. Reading guide: PS: SC √.
