The Substitute Bride

Gu Qinghe never imagined that such a "good thing" would ever happen to her.

Remembering someone telling her that a woman's tears were what men feared most, because they made them soften, she began to sob. Her tear-filled eyes gazed at Zhou Cheng, hoping he would show mercy and let her go.

Looking at the tearful beauty before him, Zhou Cheng was captivated by her glistening eyes. They tugged at his heartstrings, and a fierce urge to protect her welled up inside him.

He said, "You are the wife I married properly and with full ceremony. From now on, no one will be allowed to bully you."

Later, Zhou Cheng led his troops into the capital. The Gu family, desperate to survive, thought of Gu Qinghe. She said, "My husband says my surname is Zhou. My name is Gu Qinghe."
