The Heir Wants to Sweep Her Off Her Feet

"After Being Rejected by Three Fiances, I Married the Frail but Highly Decorated Heir"

Gu Yu was the most renowned beauty in the capital, with a sweet, lilting voice and a radiant, graceful appearance.

As the legitimate eldest daughter of the Gu family, whose head was the Minister of Rites, she was cherished by her grandparents and doted on by her parents.

Yet when she came of age, she became engaged three times, only to have all three engagements called off.

Her first fiance was already frail, and just three days after their engagement, he died after being married off to ward off bad luck.

Her second fiance was the newly crowned top scholar. Gu Yu's father had snatched this golden son-in-law right after the exam results were announced, but on the day of the parade, the golden catch fell off his horse.

Her third fiance was Gu Yu's childhood sweetheart. They had shared good fortune, but when trouble came, he flew off on his own.

Seeing Gu Yu's reputation grow worse by the day, her childhood sweetheart refused to believe the rumors and persuaded his elders to visit and ask for her hand.

Gu Yu looked at him, feeling deeply grateful.

But her gratitude had barely begun to bubble up when her childhood sweetheart showed up to break off their engagement, his face swollen, keeping ten paces away from her and having to shout to make himself heard.

The Gu family was frantic, while Gu Yu remained as calm as a pool of water untouched by the wind.

The day after the engagement was called off, the heir, who had just returned to court from a military campaign, climbed over the wall into Gu Yu's chambers under cover of darkness and caught her by surprise.

Gu Yu looked at his captivating eyes and determined expression, trembling as she found herself with nowhere to run.

The man gripped her chin and lowered his voice, dangerous and domineering. "Little Yu, you ungrateful wretch. You've got the heart of a wolf and the lungs of a dog."

Word spread that the handsome but frail heir, who had one foot in the grave, was engaged to Gu Yu of the Gu family.

Everyone in the capital waited to see when the heir would breathe his last.

But from their engagement to their wedding, and even years later...

Everyone wondered: Why hasn't this heir died yet?
