Even though she was not wealthy, Gu Junhui enjoyed everything she deserved from her aunt. Therefore, she was a little simple and naive.
Gu Junhui left her hometown with Gu Changshu because they wanted to elope, and Gu Junhui's grandmother and uncle were the reason for their decision.
Her grandmother and uncles had squandered all the compensation money that was supposed to be Gu Junhui's.
Her cousin had wanted to marry a city girl whose family wanted a lot of money for her dowry. Gu Junhui's grandmother, uncle, and aunt could not afford it, so the old woman set her sight on Gu Junhui, who had just turned 18.
The old woman asked someone to find a matchmaker, who matched Gu Junhui to a man with a deceased wife and child at 40 years old. The man could afford a very high betrothal fee to marry Gu Junhui.
