Chapter 1(1)

The bright red word "Happy" is bright and new, and inside the hibiscus tent is a bride like fire.

The dragons and phoenixes were filled with joy, but the atmosphere in the new house was the same as that of the mourning hall, dignified and solemn. The bride sat on the wedding bed, waiting for the groom to pick up the red hijab with the scale beam. It could be seen from her small hands holding the wedding handkerchief tightly that she was both looking forward to it and nervous.

However, the bridegroom entered the bridal chamber half an hour ago and kicked out her dowry maid, but there was still no movement. There was no lively and noisy atmosphere outside the bridal chamber. For this reason, the bride was even more nervous and did not dare to move. She was like a wooden statue.

An entire hour passed, and even a wooden statue couldn't bear it, let alone the delicate bride. She couldn't help but move her numb legs, and with her movement, the groom who was sitting in front of the Eight Immortals table finally moved too.

The rustling sound of clothes made her stiffen, and she quickly sat upright again, waiting with bated breath.

This time the groom did not disappoint her. The red hijab covering her beautiful face flew off. However, it was not lifted up by the scales, but flippantly lifted up by the groom's hands.

But the bride didn't care. After waiting for a long time, she slowly raised her bright and pretty face full of joy, and her shy and watery eyes hesitated for a moment before meeting his narrow and handsome eyes.

The moment their eyes met, the shy and joyful mood of the bride was like someone pouring a basin of cold ice water on her, instantly dropping to freezing point, because there was no joy of getting married in her always gentle handsome eyes, only coldness and undisguised disdain.

But why?She doesn't understand.

She bit her rouged pink lips and timidly called out, "Brother Jingtian..."

"Don't call me!" Feng Jingtian's handsome face was even colder, and even his voice was as cold as frost, "You don't deserve to call me by my name."

She was startled unexpectedly.

He had always been polite to her, and although he was always deliberately distant, he had never been as cold as today, and could even be said to be...disgusting.

She didn't know why, and with an uneasy mood, she tentatively spoke again, "Did I do something wrong that made you angry?"

Did she act immodestly enough to make him angry?

Her words made him laugh out loud, "Gui Lanqiu, stop pretending. I'm telling you, I, Feng Jingtian, will never be manipulated by others. Your strategies are of no use to me."

Gui Lanqiu's exquisitely beautiful face was covered with deep confusion, "What are you talking about? I can't understand a word..."

Feng Jingtian said angrily: "Stop acting with me. I told you that this trick may be useful for Zi Yan, but it is useless for me. A scheming woman like you will never want to be my wife, Feng Jingtian!"

His last words made her tremble, and she asked in confusion: "You...what are you talking about? Aren't we already married?"

The more she listened, the more confused she became. Although the wedding was simple and there were not many guests invited, they had just gotten married. How could he say that she would never want to be his wife?

"Do you think I really want to marry you?" Her clueless look made him even more angry. "I underestimated you too much and didn't realize that your meekness was fake, so I stupidly stepped into the trap you set. But you wouldn't be so naive as to think that I would just give in and marry a woman that I don't love or even despise?"

Hearing this, Gui Lanqiu's heart shrank and her pretty face turned pale.

She knew he didn't love her, she had always known it, but she didn't care. She thought he was willing to marry her because he was willing to accept her feelings for him and because he had given up on Zi Yan, but now...

The strong hatred and obvious disgust in his eyes made her heart ache, and her pretty face became even whiter.

With a trembling voice, she asked hoarsely: "In that case...why did you agree to marry me?"

Because of the accident?Or...

"Still pretending?" Feng Jingtian had to admire her acting skills. If he hadn't suffered from her, he would have been deceived by her pitiful and innocent appearance."Qi Lanqiu, you should know that I like Zi Yan."

At the mention of her sister, Sui Lanqiu's beautiful eyes dimmed suddenly.

It is known to everyone that Feng Jingtian loves Sui Ziyan and would marry her. How could she not know this as her sister?However, the sad thing is that even though she knew it, she still fell hopelessly in love with this man who had her heart set on her.

Does she abuse herself?No, she just loved him terribly. As soon as she learned that he agreed to marry her, she was so happy that she couldn't sleep for several days, but she never thought about why he agreed to marry her.

"Zi Yan is married." She whispered, covering up the pain in her eyes.

Her dear sister left the court half a month earlier than she did. The wedding was grand and lively, and it was a happy event known to the whole city.

Thinking of the woman he loved marrying another man, Feng Jingtian's handsome eyes flashed with pain, and he said angrily: "Even so, I still have her in my heart. As for you, a woman who shamelessly climbed into my bed and forced me to take responsibility, do you really think I will be willing to do so?"

Her bright red lips had long been bitten by her and turned bloodless. Guan Lanqiu hurriedly shook her head, "I didn't! It was an accident! I didn't force you, I clearly don't want you to take the blame..."

"Don't act in front of me! It just makes me feel sick!" he shouted in disgust.

This shout blocked all explanations from Guan Lanqiu. Her heart was so tightly clenched that she could hardly speak in pain, but she still asked after all.

"Who... who made you agree to marry me?"

Her repeated pretending to be stupid made Feng Jingtian very impatient, and the displeasure he had held in for many days could no longer be suppressed.

"Qi Lanqiu, how long are you going to keep pretending? Listen, I was fooled by you once, and I am stupid if I let you fool me a second time. Do you think I will let myself become a fool again?" He glared at her beautiful face, and said hatefully: "You don'tYou crawled onto my bed in shame, saying that you didn't want me to be responsible, and that you wouldn't tell anyone. Then you turned around and ran to cry to Zi Yan, saying that I ruined your innocence.For such a scheming woman like you, if Zi Yan hadn't asked me to be responsible for you, do you think I would have married you?"

It is indeed Zi Yan...

Her heart throbbed with pain because of his every word, and his hatred made her speechless. She understood that he had long believed that all of this was set up by her, and could not listen to her explanation at all, so she suppressed the sadness in her eyes, pursed her pink lips, and did not make any excuses.

"Are you speechless?" Convinced that her silence was acquiescence, Feng Jingtian raised the corners of his lips sarcastically and said indifferently: "Since I have nothing to say, fine, I'll tell you right now, even if I, Feng Jingtian, are asked not to marry for the rest of my life, I will never marry you. I will marry you not because of any bullshit responsibility, but for revenge!"

His cold tone was like a sharp blade, cutting into her already bruised heart.

"Retaliation?" She repeated this sentence subconsciously.

His dark eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "I want to divorce my wife!"

These four ruthless words were like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, enough to push Gui Lanqiu into hell. She couldn't help but tremble all over.

Sure enough...

She closed her eyes tightly, resisting the pain in her heart, and said hoarsely: "Okay."

Her straightforwardness made Feng Jingtian raise his eyebrows in surprise.

He didn't need her consent, but he thought she wouldn't compromise so easily. After all, she had deliberately set up such a move and shouldn't give up so easily.

What trick is this woman trying to play?

"You can divorce me, but I have a condition." She took a deep breath and tried to be indifferent.

He looked at her with disdain."You are not qualified to negotiate terms with me."

"If you don't agree, then we will have no choice but to go to court." Ignoring his contemptuous look, she straightened her back and continued, "We have been married for less than a day, and I haven't committed any of the seven sins. How can you divorce your wife?"

"Are you sure?" He asked with a sarcastic smile, "Why bother trying to incriminate yourself? I can put you to death just for the 'obscenity' among the seven acts!"

Qi Lanqiu was startled.

"Fornication" refers to a woman's indulgent and promiscuous behavior. This article requires the wife to maintain her chastity to her husband and not have any affairs with others in order to maintain the stability of the family and the purity of the bloodline. There is also the custom of "testing for redness" on the wedding night. If she is not a virgin, she can be divorced immediately.

And she was indeed not a virgin.

Pink Fist trembled slightly, knowing that the next words would make Feng Jingtian hate her even more, but for the sake of family honor, she had to say it."What if I tell Zi Yan about your divorce?"

At the mention of Sui Ziyan, Feng Jingtian's handsome face suddenly sank.

He wanted to divorce her, but she had nothing to say, but her family could not have a descendant who was divorced less than a day after getting married for the crime of seven marriages, and still committed "fornication" among the seven marriages. Not to mention that she was ashamed of her ancestors, and her father...
