Marrying the Villain to Bring Him Good Fortune

Blurb One

For a hundred taels, Jian Yue was sold by her cold-hearted aunt to Lu Zhiyao as a good-luck bride.

Lu Zhiyao was the son of a disgraced official, gravely ill and unconscious.

Though her newlywed husband was hovering between life and death, the day before she went to bring him good luck, Jian Yue had a dream.

In the dream, Lu Zhiyao was incredibly rich and would later wield great power at court. His residence was overflowing with gold and jewels, and he would rise from the son of a disgraced official to become a wicked minister who made everyone tremble in fear.

Lu Zhiyao was gloomy and hard to approach, and only favored his moonlight. To marry his beloved, the wicked minister kept his first wife under house arrest in a separate residence.

Of course, Jian Yue was that unfortunate first wife!

A wicked minister was no problem. Being kept under house arrest was no problem. As long as there was money, that was all that mattered.

Jian Yue happily set off to bring him good luck with a little bundle in hand. But after looking at the empty room, then at Lu Zhiyao's pockets, which were cleaner than his face, she fell silent!

Wasn't Lu Zhiyao supposed to be rich? Where was the money?

Blurb Two

Lu Zhiyao would one day divorce her, his impoverished first wife, for his moonlight. Jian Yue smiled sweetly and said, "If you want to take a concubine one day, just give me ten thousand taels and I'll divorce you. Give me fifty thousand taels and I'll leave you. If you want me to ask to be dismissed, one hundred thousand taels guarantees your satisfaction. How does that sound? Quite a bargain, don't you think?"

One hundred thousand taels???

Lu Zhiyao said coldly, "I won't take a concubine, divorce you, or send you away!"

Jian Yue: I just want money, not romance!

Lu Zhiyao: I have no money, no money at all. I'm working hard to escape poverty. I only love Jian Bao!
