Chapter 205
When Ah Zhao regains consciousness, she finds herself in a sedan chair .
She feels a little dizzy because of the unsteady sedan chair .
Something blocks her eyes . All she sees is red as noises reach her from all directions .
She feels even dizzier now .
She is a bit short of breath . Instinctively, she wants to get rid of that thing blocking her sight only to find her hand tied .
What the hell?
“Cotton candy, cotton candy . . . ” She calls the system in her heart .
“I’m here . ” Cotton candy's sweet voice goes up .
Ah Zhao lets out a sigh of relief: “What’s happening?”
Not a horrible kidnapping as soon as she's here?
Hearing that, cotton candy is silent for a moment before it speaks: “No . ”
When Ah Zhao feels a bit relaxed, she hears the latter half of its sentence: “But an exciting sham wedding . ”
Ah Zhao: “ . . . !”
Again, she feels breathless .
After cotton candy tells her about the plot of this world, she blacks out directly .

She is pinched awake .
With her wrist twisted hard by sharp nails, she lets out a groan and opens her eyes slowly .
Before she realizes what’s happening, her hands are untied .
She is dragged off the sedan chair by a great strength .
Meanwhile, a malicious female voice rises beside her: “First Lady Qi, I don’t think it will be wise of you to put in any useless effort . Behave yourself . If anything goes wrong today, My Lady still has your younger brother in her palm . I've heard he’s a clever one, having won the first place in his school not long ago, isn't he?”
Blinking, Ah Zhao doesn’t say anything . Nor does she struggle .
Taking it as a sign of resignation, that woman laughs happily and carries her as they walk forward .

Ah Zhao follows her slowly and starts to recognize her current situation .
Right now, she is dressed in a wedding gown, on her way to marry a man .
This body belonged to a girl named Qi Zhao, the first daughter of a wealthy merchant family in Pingjing .
Today, she is going to marry Huo Jun, the most powerful and influential man in Pingjing .
Huo Jun, age 30, commander of 400 thousand elite troops in eight provinces near Pingjing . Anyone in this country who sees him has to address him as General with respect .
It ought to have been a good thing to marry a man like him - if none of his four former fiancées died .
General Huo had four engagements in the past .

However, two of his fiancées died before marrying him, one drowned a day before the wedding, the last one killed in the street the day of the wedding because of an unrest .
Since then, Huo Jun has been inseparable from being a jinx to his wife .
Girls are naturally afraid of him but there are men who value interest over everything else, for example, Qi Zhao’s father, Lord Qi, a merchant in Pingjing .
He racked his brains to establish contact with Huo Family, not caring the gossip of Huo Jun being a jinx to his wife in the slightest and sent his daughter to marry him .
Sure, his choice wasn't Qi Zhao, his first daughter given to him by his first wife, but Qi Ying, his second daughter by his second wife .
That wasn’t due to his love for Qi Zhao . Qi Zhao was born weak, ill every other day . She has to thank all the tonic and medicine she has taken every day that she can live to be 20 .
Lord Qi was afraid that she would die before she got married .
