The Chief Minister's Bride, Brought Home to Bring Him Good Fortune

Gu Jinshu transmigrated to the Qi dynasty and became the daughter of a fifth-rank official. Her father died while serving in office. After observing the mourning period, she followed her mother to the capital to seek refuge with her maternal relatives. Young women of marriageable age were treated like commodities, and her mother worried herself sick over Gu Jinshu's marriage prospects. Song Chengyan, the eldest grandson of the Marquis of Qingyuan, was a brilliant scholar who had given up the military for a literary career and placed first in all three imperial examinations. Though learned and handsome, he had no luck in love: two betrothals had fallen through in a row. In the tenth year of the Renhe era, as power changed hands, Song Chengyan was poisoned by a political rival and hovered between life and death. The old madam, heartbroken for her eldest grandson, sought a suitable young woman to marry him and bring him good fortune. Gu Jinshu became the "lucky one" whose birth chart matched his.
