A love scammer who keeps dancing on the edge of disaster x a wronged man who failed to turn evil

Zhu Qingjia's lifelong dream was to marry a wealthy husband and live without worrying about food or clothing.
Unfortunately, before her father died, he arranged a marriage for her with a poor man who had to patch the same clothes over and over.
Fortunately, her fiance went missing on his way to the capital to take the imperial examinations, and she hadn't heard from him in three years.
No one else even knew they had been married. When you looked at it that way, he might as well be dead.
Zhu Qingjia pretended to shed a few tears, then turned around and hooked the son of a local merchant, coaxing him into agreeing to marry her as his principal wife.
On the second day after the wedding, her husband was thrown in jail.
She brought two toddlers to the local government office and wailed so loudly that a clerk, unable to bear it any longer, let her in to plead her case.
When Zhu Qingjia saw the official seated at the head of the room, her face turned deathly pale.
Wasn't that the ex-husband she'd been told had been reduced to bones and dust?
Her ex-husband glanced at the two children beside her and sneered. "They can already walk?"
Zhu Qingjia was about to explain, but the frightened toddler suddenly grabbed her sleeve and called out, indistinctly, "Mama."
Ex-husband: ???
Zhu Qingjia: ???
There's no clearing my name now!

If Zhu Qingjia's father hadn't brought Gu Zhizhang home all those years ago, Gu would still be a little beggar bullied by everyone. For that, Gu Zhizhang was deeply grateful to him.
So when Zhu's father fell gravely ill and asked Gu to take care of his daughter, Gu agreed without hesitation, taking Zhu Qingjia by the hand and kneeling with her beside the bed to swear their vows.
Now he held power in his hands and had been reunited with his birth parents. He and Zhu Qingjia were worlds apart.
He knew she was vain and a compulsive liar, but he was still willing to renew their engagement and honor his promise.
He had imagined their reunion countless times, but when Gu Zhizhang saw Zhu Qingjia, he realized:
As long as it was Zhu Qingjia, there was nothing he could do about her.
