Guan Zhao had always thought she’d hidden her secret crush on Ju Jingzhi, the eldest son of the Ju family, flawlessly.
Until the day Ju Jingzhi got married.
Drunk out of her mind, she was about to kiss Ju Xingzhi, the Ju family’s second son and her husband in a marriage of convenience, when he turned his head away.
Ju Xingzhi’s voice was cool and emotionless. “Who did you think I was?”
Guan Zhao sobered up in an instant.

During an argument.
Ju Xingzhi: “You married me for no reason other than that I have the same surname as I do.”
Guan Zhao: “That’s right. You’re just a substitute.”
Ju Xingzhi: “Oh. I don’t mind. I only care about the outcome.”
Guan Zhao: “Then fine. Let’s get divorced.”
Ju Xingzhi: “Even if you do, you still won’t be able to marry my big brother.”

“The Ju in Ju Xingzhi is the Ju in ‘Guan Guan Ju Jiu.’”
