I Lie Flat as His Sister-in-Law on the Day He Marries

Right after breaking off her engagement, Gu Xiyan was entangled by the Prince of Qin.

The Prince of Qin looked down on Gu Xiyan, yet coveted her body and planned to take her as a concubine.

Gu Xiyan smiled on the outside and cursed inwardly. Become her ex-fiancé's concubine? What a joke. Wasn't making money much better?

She never expected romance to blossom everywhere. The Second Young Master of the Marquis of Yongcheng and the Third Young Master of the Earl of Qi'an both fell deeply in love with her.

Zhou Mu, who had long legs, a shapely bottom, and breathtaking looks, was even more straightforward, coming directly to her door to ask for her hand in marriage.

On the day the Prince of Qin married, Gu Xiyan also held a magnificent wedding.

That day, the Prince of Qin's residence had scarcely any guests, while every noble in the city went to the Zhou residence for the wedding feast. Even the Emperor graciously lowered himself to officiate Zhou Mu and Gu Xiyan's ceremony.

Only then did everyone learn that Zhou Mu was the Emperor's eldest legitimate son, raised among the common people.

Later, Zhou Mu became Emperor, and Gu Xiyan became Empress simply by lying flat.

Zhou Mu was peerless in grace and beauty, captivating the hearts of every young woman in the city. Yet he was utterly oblivious to romance and did not understand love.

Gu Xiyan, reborn, knew that Zhou Mu was a man who had sworn never to marry, so she never dared entertain improper thoughts about him.

Who could have guessed that on the day she arranged to meet the Third Young Master of the Earl of Qi'an, this usually aloof and self-controlled man would suddenly lose control in the middle of the street, drag her into his carriage, and plead with reddened eyes: “I have ruined your reputation, so you can only marry me!”

[Reborn, alternate history, both pure, sweet romance]
