Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

"Ms. Li." Gu Xingyan's throat tightened. He knew that telling those things would just be an excuse for himself, but he couldn't. He couldn't hide everything.

If he suffers, she will suffer too.

He didn't ask for her forgiveness, but only asked her not to have so much hatred in her heart. Too much hatred would be too painful and tiring. Even if she was reborn, she would not be able to live.

He spoke slowly: "In my previous life, on New Year's Eve, I was thrown in front of Ling Heng."

It happened ten years ago, but he still remembers it clearly.

"Ling Heng wanted to kill me, but his subordinates came up with a plan. Because I was similar in shape to him, and I was good at ventriloquism and martial arts, and he needed me to be his stand-in, so I was fed a pill."

"After taking the medicine, my future and past became a blank."

Li Shuangwan looked at him coldly. She didn't believe it. With Ling Heng's methods, he would never let him go just because of these. The blood of their Ling family has always been cold.

"But this matter was still known to Concubine Lin. Concubine Lin scolded Ling Heng for being too soft-hearted. In order to prevent future troubles, she had to kill me."

"So, even though I had no memory, I was stabbed through the chest and thrown into a mass grave two days later."

Li Shuangwan clenched his hands into fists, his nails digging into his flesh, tears silently rolled down his face, and no matter how hard he tried to wipe them away, they would never stop.

"People's hearts are biased, and mine is more biased, growing on the right side. So, although I was seriously injured, I did not die. And it was at that time that my mother's people found me, in a mass grave."

"I was taken back to Daliang."

Li Shuangwan suddenly looked up at Gu Xingyan, and then he remembered that the surname of the Daliang royal family was Gu!

So he is...

That’s why he has those people behind him, with such strength.

"I am the ninth prince of Daliang, Gu Xingyan." A fishy and sweet taste rushed to his throat, and Gu Xingyan swallowed it down.

"What else? Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Gu Xingyan shook his head: "No more. It was ten years later when I remembered all this."

"Heh." Li Shuangwan felt cold, and at the same time he understood something in his heart.

In her previous life, during that month, Ling Heng had not asked Gu Xingyan to take her place and stay by her side many times.

He was probably afraid that she would find out.

Therefore, being busy with official duties and letting Butler Wu and Qinglian trip her up became Ling Heng's usual tactic.

Gu Xingyan lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her.

His father was an excellent father of children. He had nine princes and more than a dozen princesses.

There are many princes, but only one throne.

The court of Daliang was even more prosperous than that of Northern Jin.

Many sons are fighting for the throne, it's a bloody battle, it's either you die or I die.

In order to protect her own son, Concubine Chen joined forces with her maternal relatives and killed countless princes and grandchildren.

His elder brother was the eldest son. He was weak and sickly since childhood and did not live beyond the age of thirty-five.

He was also a legitimate son. As soon as his mother, Empress Xu, became pregnant with him, she was targeted by Concubine Chen, and her fetus was almost stillborn several times.

In order to protect him, Empress Xu sent him to Northern Jin shortly after he was born and placed him in the care of a farmer. To avoid being targeted, Empress Xu sent several secret guards to watch over the family and also sent five children of the same age to protect him, whether life or death.

Unfortunately, the Northern Jin court became increasingly corrupt, with heavy taxes and levies being constantly levied, and there were frequent natural disasters. A flood struck, and both his adoptive father and mother died.

There will always be a major epidemic after a major disaster. In order to protect them, those secret guards didn’t even have time to send out the message and were infected with the epidemic and died one after another.

The entire village was eventually washed away by the flood, some starved to death, some died of disease, and in the end only a few people were left.

He was only ten years old that year. He and several other children including Shu Wenbo and Liang Tianyou were targeted by human traffickers and sold into the mountains.

From then on, he spent his days fighting with people and beasts every day until he was discovered by Ling Heng at the age of twenty. He entered Prince Heng's palace three months later.

He stayed in Prince Heng's Palace for one month and twenty days.

There, he met a girl named Li Shuangwan.

Her eyes are very bright, her black pupils are like the brightest stars in the sky, and her voice is very gentle when she speaks.

When Ling Heng has to accompany that woman and is unable to get away, she will ask him to put on his mask and accompany her.

When they slept in the same bed, her long black hair spread out on the pillow, tangled with his.

Little by little, it entangled itself in his heart.

He was reluctant to straighten it out, let alone cut it off.

She called him His Highness and mistook him for Ling Heng.

He didn't dare respond, only felt deep guilt.

There were many times when he wanted to tell her the truth, but Ling Heng warned him that if he dared to tell it, neither of them would survive.

That one and only time on the wedding night was like a nightmare that haunted him again and again, almost suffocating him.

Moreover, Ling Heng has plenty of ways to throw dirty water on them. He can do whatever he wants, but Miss Li should not bear such humiliation.

He was afraid and backed off.

She is the daughter of a general who guards the country. How could such a proud woman be humiliated like this?

Countless times, the words that came to my lips were swallowed back.

He didn't know what Ling Heng was going to do.

However, when he recalled all this in the palace of Daliang, it was too late.

And he finally understood why Ling Heng wanted him to consummate the marriage on his behalf.

After that, all he could think about was hatred.

The entire General's Mansion was in ruins. Li Shuangwan was already dead. She was locked up in the cold palace by Ling Heng and burned to ashes, leaving no trace of her body.

Their child, the one who felt the deepest evil in the world only one day after being born, had his heart blood drained and became the medicine for the child named Ting Ning.

He was wrong. Very wrong.

But time cannot be reversed.

Therefore, when his elder brother died of illness, he ascended the throne of Daliang. Despite the opposition of all the civil and military officials in the court and the covetous eyes of people inside and outside the Daliang court, he personally led the army to attack Northern Jin and burned down the Northern Jin Palace where Wan Wan was buried.

He wants the entire Northern Jin to be buried with Wanwan!

However, he still felt unwilling to accept the raging fire engulfing the Northern Jin Palace.

His Wanwan was gone just like that.

Such a good girl is gone just like that.

It was he who killed Wanwan and all 381 members of the General’s Mansion.

Therefore, he used his own blood and half of his life in two lifetimes just to change his fate and let Wanwan be reborn!

He succeeded.

He thought that Wanwan was such a smart woman, she would definitely kill those murderers who harmed her in her previous life in this life.

He wanted to hide it from her, that he was destined to have only ten years left to live.

But Wanwan was such a smart woman that she discovered in just a few days that he, like her, was a reborn person.

That was enough, nothing else mattered and she didn't need to know.

He spent both lifetimes to repay the debt he owed in his previous life.

She wants to kill Ling Heng with her own hands, and he will help her.

She wants to overthrow the dirty Northern Jin court, and he will help her.

If she wants to protect the entire General's Mansion, he will help her.

"Miss Li, you should have a good rest." Gu Xingyan stood up and walked out.

Li Shuangwan finally wiped the tears from her face, looked at Gu Xingyan's back, and said, "I don't have anyone on hand right now, so I will still use the people you found, but we will only talk about interests."

"The profits will be split in half, and the settlement will be made every six months."

The relationship based on interests is the most unreliable in the world, but also the most reliable.

Gu Xingyan paused, he knew that Wanwan was trying to draw a line between them.

He didn't look back: "Okay, as you say."

"If I need help in the future, I will ask you for help, but I will pay you."

"Well, it's up to you. Regarding the annexation of Ling Heng's industry, I will write a detailed plan in the next few days and show it to Miss Li."
