Her maternal grandfather, the Grand Tutor, fell gravely ill, so Gongliang Jingluo had no choice but to marry the notorious Second Prince and bring him good fortune through a wedding.
For her grandfather's sake, Gongliang Jingluo sincerely hoped her husband would recover.
When she married him, he had already declared that they would divorce one day.
Gongliang Jingluo took his words to heart. Once he had recovered, she stayed up all night writing a divorce agreement, then happily went to give it to him.
She thought he would praise her for being sensible, and perhaps remember her grandfather's contribution.
To her surprise, the man didn't even glance at it. He tore up the agreement at once. "You are my lawfully wedded wife. We cannot divorce."
Gongliang Jingluo froze. "That isn't what you said at first."
The Second Prince had always been aloof and indifferent, never putting anyone in his eyes. When he temporarily lost his sight, the officials at court came up with all sorts of strange ideas to ease the emperor's worries.
The most outrageous suggestion was to have a woman marry him to bring him good fortune.
The emperor not only accepted the minister's proposal, but also got the Grand Tutor to agree to marry his most beloved granddaughter to the prince.
When Su Qilue learned of it, he coldly spat out one word: "Absurd."
The emperor was determined to make this marriage happen and ordered them to wed at once.
On their wedding night, the red veil was lifted. Before the young woman could say a word, Su Qilue thought that since he could not see, she certainly would not want to marry him if not for the imperial decree.
He had never thought much of the marriage, so he told her up front that they would divorce. He assumed she would take the hint and keep her distance. It would be even better if they could sleep in separate rooms.
But the young woman was gentle by nature and still wanted to be near him, staying by his side and caring more than anyone about whether his eyes would recover.
Su Qilue changed his mind. Perhaps they could make this marriage work. He began returning to their room of his own accord, and before long, sleeping in separate rooms was no longer an issue. He even talked with her about having children.
He thought she had developed some feelings for him. Just as he could no longer bear to keep up the act and told her he could see, she handed him a divorce agreement.
Looking at Gongliang Jingluo's serious expression, Su Qilue finally understood that she had no love for him at all. She had only intended to care for him until he recovered, then leave.
She smiled at him and said, "Your Highness, you must keep your word. When I fall in love with someone in the future, I'll marry again."
He tore the divorce agreement to pieces.
She had already married him. How could she divorce him and marry someone else?
#At first, the male lead has poor eyesight and thinks of the female lead: Heh, she definitely doesn't want to marry someone like me.

Charming noblewoman X gloomy, visually impaired Second Prince
My next novel, This Age Gap Is Way Too Big, is about a domineering older man from a feudal society and a delicate noblewoman. The male lead goes from hating the female lead's delicate ways to loving them. Give it a look, dear readers.

3: The male and female leads are both sexually inexperienced.
Theme: Good deeds will always be rewarded, so never give up easily.
Why did the male protagonist ask the female protagonist to wait with a tea cup? Is he thinking about the intentions of the female protagonist's grandfather?
The Second Prince is working on his own strategy….
What's the age difference between the male and female protagonists of this book? [Orange Candy] I've had it
It's too real to realize that I fell asleep when I opened my eyes. I used to be like this when I was in class 🐶
Could it be that the heroine's mother was let down? Her father was too ambitious?
Here it comes, my first comment 😏 😚 😚 😚 😚
