Bringing Good Luck to My Ex-Fiancé’s Uncle

She was the most renowned beauty in the capital. Her family fell from grace overnight, losing their titles and properties. The family her marriage was arranged with, guided by the palace, threw her to her fiancé’s dying fifth uncle, who was infamous as the most despicable and half-dead man of the Great Ji dynasty. Once the fifth master breathed his last, she was to be buried with him to end it all.

Those who had once envied Gu Jianli’s wealth, power, and beauty now rubbed their hands in anticipation, waiting for the spectacle. They waited and waited, and kept waiting… until they found themselves kneeling at Gu Jianli’s feet, not even daring to look her in the eye.

And that vicious, malevolent man stood beside her, bestowing upon her the sole honor among tens of thousands.
