A Wife Who Brings Good Fortune

[A disgraced minister’s daughter, unlucky in life and pursuing her future husband to stay alive, meets a young duke born under a lucky star and loved by everyone. A romance between a woman and a man two years younger.]

The first time Gu Jingtang saw Zhu Jiahao was when she risked her life to save the man she was engaged to.

At the time, he thought to himself that his future aunt, famed throughout the capital, was truly devoted to her fiancé.

Later, he witnessed her resort to every means necessary to break off the engagement. While still reeling from the shock, he heard that his family, eager to show the public that the Gu family had nothing to hide about the broken engagement, was also planning to arrange matches in advance for him and the younger members of the family.

That very night, however, Zhu Jiahao broke into the Duke’s residence, held a knife to his throat in bed, and threatened him:

You owe me a favor and a life. You’ll agree to marry me, won’t you?

Her identity as the daughter of a disgraced minister was about to be exposed. She could not rely on the marquis’s household that had raised her. Her only chance of survival might lie with this young duke, born with a destiny that brought good fortune to his wife.

She had no choice but to force his hand that night. All she could hope was that he would protect her in the future.

But Gu Jingtang was young and proud. Even though he harbored feelings for Zhu Jiahao that he could not speak of, his uncle stood in the way, so he stiffened his neck and firmly refused: “...I would rather die than agree to this marriage!”

Zhu Jiahao looked at his naturally sweet-looking face and said coldly:

“What if I had already fallen for you, and I broke off my engagement to your uncle for your sake?”

In her previous life, he called her “older sister” at every turn just so he could marry her. This time, he was acting as though he didn’t know her.

She had been reborn because of him, and she would never let go of this lifeline!

Gu Jingtang: !!!

(They are each other’s only one; political intrigue.)
