Splendid Red Bridal Attire: Welcome the Princess Consort Back to the Manor

After transmigrating into the body of a little orphan girl, Gu Yier accepted her lot. She grew up eating meals provided by neighbors, and accepted that too. But the women in the neighborhood were far too helpful: they even arranged her marriage for her.

Though her husband was a man she’d picked up off the street, the neighborhood aunties told her, “Third girl, don’t worry about what other people think. You’ve already bowed in the wedding ceremony, gotten married, and shared the bridal chamber, so he has to take responsibility for you. No matter what he’s like, he’s your husband now, so he has to provide for you. If you stay with him, you’ll never have to go hungry or freeze again.”

Gu Yier: “...”

But to her surprise, before she could even rely on her husband for a single day, he ran off.

Not only would he not save her from hunger and cold, but now she was still an orphan and had gained the title of “living widow.”

From living widow to constable, then to currying favor with the powerful, and even taking the current prince’s uncle as her master, Gu Yier’s luck finally turned around.

Just as she could see a good life waving to her from ahead, helping her master solve a case ended up exposing both her identity and his.

The moment he took off his mask, Gu Yier was dumbfounded.

The man who had been her master asked with a perfectly straight face, “Do you remember the first thing you said when you became my apprentice?”

“Master, please accept me...”

“Mm, correct. That’s exactly what I had in mind.”
