Exiled After a Marriage Swap: The Farming Lady Builds a Fortune

Gu Yuexuan was a brilliant female agricultural scientist, but after an accident, she became a miserable concubine-born daughter forced into an exchange marriage. On the day of the wedding, the furious groom stormed into the bridal chamber and, with a wave of his hand, flung a decisive divorce edict into her face like a merciless slap. Yet immediately afterward came an imperial decree ordering the confiscation of the family estate. Gu Yuexuan watched as the eunuch bribed by her legitimate elder sister ruthlessly tore the divorce edict to shreds. With tears in her eyes, she followed that heir on a long journey of exile spanning three thousand li. In the mountainous region of Fangling, the climate was bitterly cold.

The bitter cold gradually faded, and what greeted her was the warm spring breeze stretching ten thousand li, meant exclusively for Gu Yuexuan. Yet when she saw the heir, whose eyes were filled with deep affection and whose manner was wild and unrestrained, she could not help being stunned: How had the exchange marriage they originally agreed upon somehow turned into the revelation that the so-called moonlight of his dreams was actually her?
