Forced to Be a Concubine? I Turn Around and Marry the Scumbag's Father

New Novel: “The Petite Wife Who Married in a Flash in the ’80s Was Spoiled Rotten by Her Rugged Husband” Is Now Out! Gu Hua was raised and disciplined by her father’s concubine, all to help her legitimate elder sister keep her husband’s favor. Her sister and brother-in-law were a devoted couple. Once they had finished using Gu Hua as a plaything, she could die. Only before her death did she learn that she was the legitimate daughter. Reborn on the eve of the night she was to be sent to her brother-in-law, she found that her brother-in-law’s father had just returned victorious from war. He heard that his son’s sister-in-law could write beautiful hairpin-script calligraphy, and invited her to the study to grind ink for him. The whole household was stunned. The Duke, a lifelong bachelor, wouldn’t even let a female mosquito get close to him. From then on, the Duke studied diligently in his study day and night. No one knew that late at night, when all was quiet, the Duke would keep one hand around her waist and only let her go at the third watch. The Duke of Yong had spent half his life at war. In twenty years, he had spent barely a month at home. This time, he returned and did not set foot outside the residence for over a month. One morning, the legitimate elder sister went to pay her respects to her father-in-law. Her half-sister, eyes seductively languid and hair loosely arranged, emerged from the study, a place no one was usually allowed to enter. Not long after, the Duke of Yong held a lavish wedding banquet. The ceremony for taking a concubine rivaled that of a wedding to a principal wife. A woman dressed in an elegant scarlet gown smiled as she placed red envelopes into the hands of her stepson and stepdaughter-in-law, who were kneeling at her feet. She said gently, “Dear elder sister, dear son, here’s a little red envelope from your father’s concubine.” She rallied support, reclaimed her identity, and made the adulterous pair lose all standing and meet a miserable end. The Duke of Yong was supposed to die in battle three months later, and all the maids around him would be freed. Gu Hua planned to get pregnant before the Duke died, so she could claim a huge inheritance and secure her freedom. Then she would be free as a bird beneath the vast sky. Who knew that after Gu Hua gave birth to a son, the Duke would only grow more vigorous with each passing day.
