Marrying the Grand Secretary

In her previous life, Su Qingluo was the daughter of Jinling's wealthiest man. After her parents died young, she had no choice but to seek refuge with her maternal grandmother's family in the capital, where she became engaged to her cousin, Lu Yan. Little did she know that Lu Yan kept a woman on the side, ultimately causing her and her unborn child to die together. In this life, Su Qingluo is determined to break off her engagement to Lu Yan, only to be forced by her aunt to marry an unscrupulous thug. Just when she has no idea what to do, Grand Secretary Lu Hengzhi suddenly proposes that they enter into a sham marriage. Everyone in the capital knows that Lu Hengzhi is aloof and noble, ruthless and merciless, and utterly uninterested in women. Rumor has it that a maid once tried to seduce him and was immediately executed. With an indifferent expression, Lu Hengzhi says, “You and I will marry for our own purposes. After three to five years, I’ll set you free.” With nowhere else to turn, Su Qingluo grits her teeth and agrees. Yet not long after their wedding, Lu Hengzhi pulls her into his arms. Her voice changes pitch. “I thought this was supposed to be a sham marriage…” Lu Hengzhi raises an eyebrow. “What’s wrong with making it real?”
