I Became a Wealthy Family's Stepmom Through a Substitute Marriage, So I Lie Flat

Gu Jingjing realizes only after getting into the wedding car that she has transmigrated into a tragic romance novel about a wealthy family. The original heroine was merely an orphaned granddaughter from the Gu family, raised in the countryside, but she was tricked into marrying into the Shen family in place of the family's true granddaughter, Gu Zhaoying.

The reason Gu Zhaoying refuses to marry at any cost is that Shen Qingyu is sickly, and she doesn't want to become a widow at such a young age!

After the wedding, the original heroine works tirelessly to take care of the whole family in hopes of earning their approval. But because she's weak-willed and inflexible, her mother-in-law despises her, her stepson attacks her... She suffers daily heartbreak and eventually dies young.

Now, looking at her cool and handsome groom, Gu Jingjing only wants to run away. Whoever wants this marriage can have it. I'm not going to be a cannon-fodder!

Unexpectedly, Shen Qingyu grabs her hand and gives her a wicked smile. "You think you're getting away?"

Gu Jingjing: Bro, you can marry anyone you want. Just let me go...

Shen Qingyu: If I let you go, what will happen to the Shen family's reputation?

Gu Jingjing glances at the bodyguards filling the area around the wedding car. Well... a wise person doesn't fight when the odds are against her.

Sickly Shen Qingyu works 996 every day. Who is he trying to work to death?

Gu Jingjing isn't about to fret over it. She's decided to lie flat and enjoy life as a rich wife.

She lives in a three-story mansion, strolls through a private garden spanning three thousand square meters, eats sea cucumber and bird's nest soup at every meal, and buys so many luxury goods that her hands are full...

Gu Jingjing, who comes with her own built-in trending topics, is chosen by a famous director, who invites her and her stepson to appear on the family travel reality show Mom Takes Me Traveling.

A whole convoy of cars and a team of servants follow her around. Her entourage is bigger than a top celebrity's!

Short scene:

Life is so comfortable that Gu Jingjing's complexion has become rosy, her figure fuller, and she hasn't even gotten a single wrinkle.

Shen Qingyu finds her more and more pleasing to the eye and spends more and more time at home.

Gu Jingjing: Hm? Aren't you going to take care of your precious work?

Shen Qingyu: My work isn't as precious as you.

Gu Jingjing: Thanks, that made me feel gross.

[Delicate, celestial beauty x cold-faced, unhinged general]

Li Yunshu was a daughter of a concubine in the imperial clan of the Jing Dynasty. With skin like jade, bright teeth, and shining eyes, she was breathtakingly beautiful. But because of her beauty, she was granted the title of Princess Duanjing and sent to Northern Liang for a political marriage.

During the journey, the delicate Li Yunshu sighed three times a day, her eyes brimming with tears. For the glory of his family, her father was willing to use her as a pawn, severing her ties to the capital for good.

At the border of Northern Liang, the young general Qi Zhiqing, who was rumored to have been killed by a Northern Liang general, suddenly appeared. He stopped the wedding procession and lifted the princess's red veil. The woman before him had tear-streaked cheeks and looked utterly pitiful, making his heart melt and leaving him unable to resist her.

As a child, when his family fell into decline, he had once lived with the Li family and received much kindness from Yunshu. Everyone in the household looked down on him, but Yunshu alone secretly gave him pastries and took him out to see the lanterns...

He couldn't let her go to Northern Liang.

How could her frail body endure the bitter cold there?

The imperial court was shocked: Qi Zhiqing had abducted the princess sent away for a political marriage!

He took her back to the capital and settled her in the Qi residence, then immediately entered the palace to confess his crime.

The emperor ordered him to receive sixty strokes of the rod, and he endured them without a word.

The emperor wanted to strip him of his military achievements and official position, and he endured that too.

But when the emperor ordered him to send the princess to Northern Liang, he couldn't do it. He turned around and overthrew the dynasty of that foolish ruler!

He ascended the throne, and she trembled in fear.

She was a woman of the previous imperial clan. How could she escape a death sentence?

When he led his troops through the gates, she lifted her delicate neck. "Go ahead..."

Without saying a word, he pulled her into his arms, lifted her up, and carried her toward the imperial palace, one step at a time.
