Chapter 001: Refusal of Marriage

In this life, she must live well and must age peacefully and steadily

Not marry her? Does she really want to get married? If it weren't for her leg injury, if it weren't for her frail health, she wouldn't even deign to stay here to get married

What is the outcome? The original master was disabled while trying to save the Fifth Prince, yet it is Gu Qianxue who, under the covert operations of Qin Yunchu and Gu Qianxue, enters the palace to receive rewards and enjoys boundless glory.

If it were not for feeling guilty, Qin Yunchu would have stepped forward long ago to strip Gu Qiancheng of her wedding dress

If it were not for Qin Yunchu, the owner of this body would not have gone out during the engagement period, nor would they have encountered the fifth prince who was being assassinated.

However, the fallen hippo and the shattered phoenix crown told her that all of this was real, and she had encountered the most incredible thing in this world.

A person who has died once is very afraid of death; to this day, she still remembers the pain when the bullet pierced her forehead

Gu Qiancheng knew that she had to bear this loss today. She ignored Qin Yunchu and turned to look at the couple sitting in the main seats.

She feels wronged on behalf of the owner of this body, as Gu Qiancheng's legs became disabled entirely due to Qin Yunchu's actions

Why? Gu Qiancheng asked directly

Regardless of how Gu Qiancheng became disabled, as long as she is disabled, it is impossible for her to marry into the Zhao royal residence, and the royal family would not accept a disabled daughter-in-law

Today, upon seeing Gu Qiancheng again, Qin Yunchu felt a sense of guilt that had vanished. Angrily, he said: "Gu Qiancheng, how could you, a disabled person, still be unaware of your condition? You are already disabled, so do not foolishly dream of the wealth and honor that you do not deserve. Quickly take off your wedding dress; I will never marry a disabled person as my wife, and the Zhao royal residence will not accept a disabled consort either"

Qin Yunchu replied without a moment's hesitation: "Why? Of course, it is because you are not worthy of me"

"You heard me correctly, this heir is saying that I will not marry you; I intend to marry the second young lady of the Gu family, Gu Qianxue." The groom-to-be, Prince Zhao's heir Qin Yunchu, said with an air of arrogance, not believing he was in the wrong at all

All of this was known to Gu Qiancheng's family, yet they turned a blind eye. The original owner died of anger due to the various unfair treatments from her family. Unfortunately, she was reborn in this body.

Qin Yunchu, you stepped on a steel nail today. I, Gu Qiancheng, am no longer the girl who was frightened by her stepmother since childhood. If you wish to embarrass me, I will ensure that you are a hundred times more embarrassed.

Gu Qiancheng was relieved that she was not the delicate original owner; otherwise, she would surely be filled with rage and die at this moment

"Am I not worthy of the Young Master? Is Qianxue worthy instead? Has Young Master Chu forgotten that I am the legitimate daughter of the Guo Gongfu, the betrothed fiancée set since childhood?" A flash of anger crossed Gu Qiancheng's eyes

Qin Yunchu wore a face of disgust and mockingly said: "What fiancée? I, Qin Yunchu, do not acknowledge it. What does it matter if you are the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Guo and have a good family background? No matter how noble your birth is, it cannot change the fact that you are a cripple. This young master will not marry you, a dead cripple."

Qin Yunchu knew that he was indeed at fault in this matter, but afterwards he also gave Gu Qiancheng a sum of silver as a hush money, asking her not to speak recklessly

On the day of the grand wedding, the groom knocked off her phoenix crown, all for the purpose of marrying her sister. Do these people really think that children without a mother are like grass, to be trampled upon as they please

On the day of the wedding, her fiancé publicly called off the engagement and humiliated her in such a manner. Her biological parents were seated at the elder's table, surrounded by her closest relatives, yet not a single person stood up for her, not even to say a word

Am I disabled? Is it because of my limp? Young Master Chu, do you know why my foot has become like this? Gu Qiancheng was neither angry nor sad, but there was an unspoken sense of grievance in these words.

Father, Mother, do you think so too? Do you believe I should take off my wedding dress and let my younger sister wear it? Her father, Duke Gu, and her stepmother, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, just sat there, coldly watching her being humiliated, without saying a word

If an ordinary woman were to encounter this situation, she might have already dashed her head against a wall out of shame and anger. However, Gu Qiancheng is not an ancient woman; she would never act in such a manner

Gu Qiancheng forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart and coldly laughed: "Young Master Chu, did you say something wrong, or did I misunderstand? How could you say 'not Marry me' at this moment, but 'Marry me' to my younger sister?"

Gu Qiancheng could hardly believe what she had just heard; the groom actually declared on the day of their wedding that he would not marry her, which was simply absurd
