Originally titled "Divorce"
(Her story)
In her previous life, Shen Qingrang chose to marry into the prestigious Shao family rather than marry the notorious heir to the Marquis of Yong'an, Gu, whom everyone in the capital despised.
Her husband rose from a sixth-rank compiler to become a chancellor, but left her a wife in name only for ten years. After accusing her of being unable to bear children, he took concubine after concubine, and eventually watched her die after enduring endless suffering. The reason was simple: he loved someone else.
The useless young Master Gu, whom she had looked down on, fell ill from lovesickness not long after her wedding and died. Lady Gu, devastated by the loss of her beloved son, hanged herself. The Marquis of Gu died vomiting blood, and even the family's title passed to a collateral branch.
Reborn, Shen Qingrang abandoned her gentle ways and turned around to marry Gu Changling.
Her husband eats, drinks, gambles, and visits brothels? A chaotic menace?
No problem!
After being reborn, she goes all out to help her husband pass the imperial examinations and make a name for himself, determined to outshine her former husband!
What?
Her husband is a woman?!
"Husband": To tell you the truth, I married you to break you and Master Shao apart, because I like him!
Shen Qingrang: ???
So Young Master Gu didn't die of grief in his previous life because she got married, but because of the eldest Shao son?
And in this life, after working so hard to avoid marrying the eldest Shao son, she ended up marrying her former rival in love?!
Shen Qingrang thinks... she needs to be reborn one more time!
(His story)
Gu Yun is an illegitimate son of the Marquis of Yong'an's household with no right to inherit. Every day, he watches his fake older brother and fake sister-in-law show off their affection. One day, he even hears them discussing adopting a child, raising him to become a success, and then going their separate ways.
Gu Yun sneers, then takes the provincial, metropolitan, and palace examinations and sweeps the top honors!
Fake older brother and fake sister-in-law: Isn't there already a ready-made talent right here? Why waste ten or twenty years?
Later, Gu Yun is entered into the family genealogy, inherits the title, and rises to a high position at court.
He corners his fake sister-in-law in a secluded corner of the back garden and bites her cherry-red lips. "I never planned to let the marquis's household have a different mistress!"
The woman slips her slender fingers into Gu Yun's clothes. "Good, because this sister-in-law doesn't want someone else to benefit, either!"
Gu Yun: "!!"
A story about a fake couple matching wits and battling each other, falling in love while they fight, and finding true love along the way.
