Su Changxia transmigrated into a book and became the newlywed husband of Qin Mo, the Marquis of Zhenbei, the book's number-one scapegoat villain.
When he arrived, the wedding ceremony was already over. Su Changxia sat upright on the wedding bed, waiting for Qin Mo to come consummate their marriage.
Qin Mo?
What the hell! Wasn't he the scapegoat villain who had his entire family executed after their home was confiscated, with all the men beheaded and all the women enslaved and exiled?
And now, it seemed, somehow, that Su Changxia had become his husband?
Su Changxia tore off his red bridal veil. Heaven wants me dead!
In the original story, Qin Mo was exceptionally handsome and heroic. At fourteen, he followed his father onto the battlefield, fighting bravely and wisely. He guarded the border for ten years and won countless military victories, until the emperor personally appointed him Marquis of Zhenbei.
A brave and skilled general who commanded troops, he became a target for the princes, all eager to win him over.
Qin Mo had never intended to get involved in the princes' struggle for the throne. Who could have known he would be framed and dragged into it anyway, eventually made the scapegoat and left with his home confiscated, his family executed, and his life in ruins?
As Qin Mo's husband, Su Changxia was destined either to be executed or enslaved and exiled.
Su Changxia: No! I don't want to die a second time!
Qin Mo strode into the bridal chamber, full of confidence, only to see the red bridal veil in his new husband's hands. Delighted, he said, "My husband is so eager?"
Su Changxia looked at Qin Mo's handsome, heroic face. He was certainly good-looking, but his life was far too short.
He said something shocking: "My lord, you're about to get your head chopped off. Did you know that?"
Qin Mo, who had been ready to consummate the marriage and go three hundred rounds with his husband: ?
Su Changxia cautiously suggested, "How about we get divorced tomorrow?"
Qin Mo's face darkened. "We haven't even consummated the marriage. Don't even think about it."
Qin Mo adamantly refused to divorce or dismiss his husband. Since Su Changxia didn't want to die, his only choice was to take Qin Mo through this deadly crisis!
After guarding the border for ten years and defeating the enemy, Qin Mo returned to court. The emperor personally made him Marquis of Zhenbei, and he became a favorite of the emperor, a rising star in the capital, and its most sought-after husband.
He knew the capital's situation was turbulent and that one careless move could land him in a quagmire. So he kept a very low profile, even choosing as his husband the younger son of a Ministry of Rites official with no real power who belonged to neither faction.
He hoped to make it through this unusual time in peace and spend the rest of his life with his husband, treating each other with love and respect.
Who could have known that on their wedding night, his new husband would not only take off his own veil, but also declare that Qin Mo was about to die, then make a fuss about getting a divorce and a letter of dismissal?
Divorce was out of the question, and a letter of dismissal was even less likely.
He still wanted to spend the rest of his life happily in love with his husband.
And if what his husband said was true, he would defy fate and change his doomed ending, finding a sliver of hope for himself and his husband.
