After Faking My Death, I Became the Obsession of a Paranoid Minister

[Sweet and gentle concubine × cold, ruthless, obsessive marquis] To save her father, who has been framed, Gu Qingyu is forced to marry Xie Shuyan, the Marquis of Changping, as his concubine. The Marquis of Changping and his wife have been married for three years without an heir. Only then do they discover that his wife is unable to bear children. After entering the household, Gu Qingyu keeps to her place as a concubine, hoping that if she bears a child, she can gain status through her offspring and live in peace at the marquis's estate. Until one day... Eight months pregnant, she overhears Xie Shuyan say, “Kill the mother, keep the child.” Only then does she realize that the whole thing has been a trap. Heartbroken, Gu Qingyu stages her own death and flees with the child in her womb. When Xie Shuyan discovers she is gone, he panics, mounts his horse, and searches for her like a madman. Years later, He pins her against a bridge, his eyes red, his voice low. “I was wrong. Please come back with me. I'll give you the full wedding rites and a bridal procession stretching ten miles.” Gu Qingyu sneers. “My lord, it's too late. I wouldn't dare accept your sincerity!”
