Childhood Sweetheart's Scheme: The Cast-Off Daughter's Marriage Woes

The emperor issues an order: she must choose a husband, or lose her head? Gu Huanyan, a nobleman's daughter abandoned by both her parents, firmly believes that the only person she can rely on in this world is herself, so she never planned to marry.

But now, to save her own skin, she has no choice but to pick someone.

After looking everyone over, the childhood friend at her side seems the most agreeable.

Um... childhood friend, for the sake of all these years we've known each other, could you save my life? I promise we'll divorce as soon as we're married, and I'll compensate you, too. She spoke with such conviction, she was practically swearing an oath to the heavens.

The man smiled softly, his radiance dazzling. “All right.”

All right? Gu Huanyan picked the torn-up divorce agreement off the ground once more and gritted her teeth. “All right, my foot! You're the one who went to the emperor and asked him to force me to choose a husband! You planned this from the start!”

“But I'm not the only man by your side. Why did you choose me in particular?”

While Gu Huanyan was still stunned, the man before her scooped her up around the waist and carried her toward the bed.

“What are you doing?”

“Compensation. You promised me.”

Everyone says he's clever and a master strategist, but the only thing in this world he wants to scheme for is the heart of his childhood sweetheart.
