At the emperor's command, she is told to choose a husband, or she will be beheaded! As a nobleman's daughter abandoned by both her parents, Gu Huanyan firmly believes that the only person she can rely on in this world is herself, so she has never planned to marry.
But now, to save her own life, she has no choice but to choose.
After looking them over, the childhood friend by her side seems the most agreeable.
Um... childhood friend, for the sake of all the years we've known each other, could you save my life? I promise that once we're married, we'll divorce right away, and I'll compensate you too. She spoke with such conviction that she was practically swearing an oath to heaven.
The man smiled, dazzlingly bright. "All right."
All right? Gu Huanyan picked up the divorce agreement, torn to shreds once again, and gritted her teeth. "All right, my foot! You were the one who went to the emperor and asked him to force me to choose a husband! You planned this all along!"
"But there were other men 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 is clever and a master strategist, but the only thing he wants to scheme for in this world is the heart of his childhood sweetheart.
Childhood sweethearts, sweet everyday romance. Come on in!
