The most talented woman in the capital, Gu Junruo, married the most handsome man in the capital, Han Mu. On the surface, it sounded like a match made in heaven—but no one in the capital believed it was a good union.
After all, the most handsome man in the capital bore another, far more notorious title: the number one wastrel of the city.
Sure enough, Gu Junruo had barely entered the household when disaster struck at the wedding banquet—Han Mu broke the leg of Jiang Huai, the second son of the Marquis of Yongping, who had come to offer his congratulations. Just three days into the marriage, Han Mu was banished from the capital and sent to serve as a magistrate in a barren county.
No one thought this was a fortunate match. Even Han Mu himself believed it wasn’t, and at one point, he even wished Gu Junruo could escape the bitter fate of being tied to him.
