Chapter 1

Gu Qiancheng could hardly believe what she was hearing. The groom-to-be actually said he wouldn't marry her on their wedding day, which was simply ridiculous.

But the fallen red veil and the shattered phoenix crown told her that everything was real. She had encountered the most unbelievable thing in the world.

Gu Qiancheng forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart and sneered, "Prince Chu, did you say the wrong thing, or did I hear it wrong? You actually say you won't marry me at this moment, and want to marry my sister instead?"

Not marrying her? As if she was willing to marry. If it weren't for her injured leg and weak body, she wouldn't even bother staying here to get married.

"You didn't hear wrong. This prince is saying that I won't marry you. I want to marry the second miss of the Gu family, Gu Qianxue," the groom-to-be, Prince Qin Yunchu of Zhao, said with a haughty expression, not thinking he was in the wrong at all.

"Why?" Gu Qiancheng asked directly.

Qin Yunchu answered without hesitation, "Why? Of course, it's because you don't deserve me."

"If I don't deserve the prince, does Qianxue deserve it? Prince Chu, have you forgotten that I am the legitimate first daughter of the Gu Duke's residence, the one betrothed to you since childhood?" A flash of anger appeared in Gu Qiancheng's eyes.

On the wedding day, the groom knocked off her phoenix crown to marry her sister. Did these people really think that a child without a mother was just grass, to be trampled on at will?

Qin Yunchu, you've stepped on a nail today. I, Gu Qiancheng, am not the same woman who was scared by my stepmother from a young age. If you want to embarrass me, I will make you suffer a hundred times more.

Qin Yunchu's face was full of disgust and mockery, "What betrothed? I, Qin Yunchu, do not acknowledge it. So what if you are the legitimate first daughter of the Gu Duke's residence? No matter how noble your birth, it can't change the fact that you are a cripple. This prince will not marry a dead cripple."

"A cripple? Because of my lame leg? Prince Chu, do you know why my leg became like this?" Gu Qiancheng was neither angry nor sad, but there was an endless sense of injustice in her words.

She felt injustice for the original owner of this body. Gu Qiancheng's leg became crippled entirely due to Qin Yunchu.

If it weren't for Qin Yunchu, the original owner wouldn't have gone out during the engagement period, and she wouldn't have encountered the assassination attempt on the Fifth Prince.

In the end, the original owner saved the Fifth Prince and became crippled, but under the secret machinations of Qin Yunchu and Gu Qianxue, it was Gu Qianxue who entered the palace to receive rewards and enjoyed boundless glory.

Gu Qiancheng's family knew about all this but turned a blind eye. The original owner died of anger due to the unfair treatment by her family. She was very unlucky to be reborn in this body.

Qin Yunchu knew he was in the wrong, but he had given Gu Qiancheng a sum of silver as a gag fee, telling her not to say anything.

Seeing Gu Qiancheng bring it up again today, Qin Yunchu's guilt disappeared, and he said angrily, "Gu Qiancheng, I don't know how you became a cripple. Since you are already a cripple, don't even dream of the wealth and honor you don't deserve. Take off your wedding dress quickly. This prince will never marry a cripple, and the Zhao王府 will not accept a crippled princess consort."

If he didn't feel guilty, Qin Yunchu would have already gone forward to strip off Gu Qiancheng's wedding dress.

Regardless of how Gu Qiancheng's leg became crippled, as long as she was a cripple, she could not marry into the Zhao王府. The royal family would not accept a crippled daughter-in-law.

Gu Qiancheng knew she was bound to suffer a loss today. She ignored Qin Yunchu and turned to look at the couple sitting in the main seat.

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

Gu Qiancheng was glad she wasn't the weak original owner; otherwise, she would have died of anger at this moment.

Being publicly rejected by her fiancé on her wedding day and being so humiliated, with her biological parents and closest relatives sitting in the seats of elders, not a single person stood up for her, not even a word!

If a common woman encountered this, she might have already died of shame, but she, Gu Qiancheng, was not an ancient woman and would never do such a thing!

Having died once, she was very afraid of death. She still remembered the pain of the bullet entering her forehead.

In this life, she must live well and die peacefully and steadily...
