Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Shangguan Qian looked at him: "When you marry into the family, will you also choose your husband along with the bride?"

Gong Shangjiao was silent for a moment before speaking: "No, it's about marrying me directly!"

Shangguan Qian looked at him with some surprise, and Gong Shangjiao immediately said, "This is also to deal with Wufeng together, and you don't have to go through the marriage selection process with them."

Gong Shangjiao knew some of the marriage selection process and didn't want her to go through it.

Shangguan Qian didn't expect him to think of these things. The original owner had gone through the marriage selection process and felt like an object being inspected.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Gong Shangjiao continued, "With your help, our plan will go more smoothly if we pretend to get married."

Shangguan Qian considered this plan. Since she had already agreed to cooperate, she might as well go for it, especially since she was bored anyway.

Over this period of time, Shangguan Qian had come to appreciate Gong Shangjiao to some extent, which naturally made her more patient.

As for the rest, let things take their natural course. It's fine to just treat it as watching the spectacle from inside the palace gates.

Shangguan Qian: "Okay, then we'll do it your way."

Gong Shangjiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This was a solution he had come up with in the past few days since he hadn't seen Shangguan Qian, and he did indeed have his own selfish motives.

Thinking about what Zhi Ren had said about choosing a spouse, the first person that came to mind was actually Shangguan Qian. After returning home, he carefully considered the time they had spent together.

He discovered that his admiration for her gradually developed into romantic feelings for her.

This opportunity also provides time for the two of them to spend more time together.

Gong Shangjiao: "Then I will arrange everything. Before the time comes for the marriage selection, I will marry you into the palace."

Shangguan Qian: "Keep it simple, after all, it's just a fake marriage."

Gong Shangjiao objected: "This is the wedding of the head of a palace, after all. Everything that is due should be included."

Even though it's fake now, Miyazaki Kaku wants to make it perfect.

Shangguan Qian: "My identity cannot be exposed. After all, Wufeng has some concerns about the Qingyun Sect and is afraid that it will affect our plans."

Gong Shangjiao: "Yes, I will arrange an identity for you."

Shangguan Qian: "Alright, then I'll wait for your news. I'll go back to Qingyun Sect."

Gong Shangjiao said earnestly, "Take care on your journey, I'll come pick you up."

Shangguan Qian was taken aback by his gaze and said, "Okay, you too."

After saying that, he carried Xiao Qi out the door, and Gong Shangjiao kept watching her back.

Gong Shangjiao went back and explained the situation to Zhiren. After thinking about it, Zhiren agreed. She was just a woman; it wouldn't matter if she married into the family.

"But Shangjiao, isn't it too hasty to use your marriage as the basis for our plan?"

Miyako no Kakuzu: "Everything is focused on eliminating Wufeng."

Zhi Ren: "Alright, if you find someone you like later, just marry someone else."

Miyazaki didn't say anything, feeling that he wouldn't like anyone else.

Back at the Horn Palace, Gong Yuanzheng happened to come to have a meal with Gong Shangjiao.

Gong Shangjiao: "Yuanzheng, I'm getting married soon."

Gong Yuanzheng asked in surprise, "Brother, who are you going to marry? Will you still treat me well after you get married?"

Gong Shangjiao: "They are from the Qingyun Sect, working together to deal with Wufeng." But he didn't reveal that it was a fake marriage.

Gong Yuanzheng asked worriedly, "Brother, do you like her?"

After a long pause, Gong Shangjiao finally spoke, his voice earnest: "I like it."

Gong Yuanzheng felt a little relieved, but then became a little jealous, worried that his brother would forget about him after marrying his sister-in-law.

Gong Shangjiao could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his expression: "Yuanzheng, don't worry, your brother has a wife now, and we will both treat you well."

Gong Yuanzheng asked in surprise, "Really? Will my sister-in-law like me?"

Gong Shangjiao: "Of course, with Yuanzheng being so sensible, everyone would like you."

Gong Yuanzheng was pleased, and Gong Shangjiao spoke up again: "However, her identity cannot be revealed for the time being."

Gong Yuanzheng: "I understand, brother."

The news of Gong Shangjiao's upcoming marriage spread throughout the palace gates in an instant.

Because it was part of a plan, Miyazaki and Shirou agreed not to reveal to others that the marriage was fake, and also to keep her identity a secret.

Just in case, in case the news leaks, as for why Zhi Ren didn't tell the young master Gong Huan Yu, it's because he felt that Gong Huan Yu was too obsessed and had become increasingly paranoid recently, and wanted to replace him with Gong Shang Jiao as the young master.

Gong Huanyu was just a little curious after hearing this, wondering what kind of person Gong Shangjiao would like.

Gong Ziyu said to Jin Fan, "Gong Shangjiao actually has someone he likes. I wonder what he's like to the person he likes?"

Jin Fan didn't reply, but Gong Zishang heard this as soon as she entered the room.

"Gong Ziyu, you're not young anymore. I've heard about the marriage selection process coming up soon. You'll be choosing one this time too, hahaha." Gong Zishang laughed without restraint.

Gong Ziyu looked speechless: "Sister, you're a woman, pay attention to your image."

Gong Zishang: "What image do you need to project to us Jin Fan? It's more like it's for us." After saying that, she winked at Jin Fan.

Jin Fan immediately looked away from her.

Gong Zishang walked in and sat down: "But I'm also curious what kind of girl Gong Er, with his dead fish eyes, will marry."

Gong Ziyu: "We'll see each other then."

The news that Master Gong Er of the Gong family was getting married had spread throughout the martial arts world.

Everyone was curious about which girl had won the favor of Mr. Gong Er.

After all, Gong Shangjiao had quite a reputation in the martial arts world.

Wu Feng also received the news and sent people to inquire. They found out that she was just an ordinary woman whom the two had met outside.

This was arranged by Gong Shangjiao so that Wu Feng would see it.

Wu Feng can only change the marriage selection plan. Since Gong Shangjiao is already married, he can change his target.

Anyway, we still have the young master; we'll always get useful information.

Half a month later, Gong Shangjiao prepared everything and went to the house where Shangguan Qian was to be settled to pick her up.

The festive scene was lively and bustling, with lanterns and decorations, red ribbons fluttering, drums and gongs resounding, and laughter filling the air.

Shangguan Qian looked at herself in the mirror, wearing a golden phoenix crown, which was gorgeous and exquisite.

Peony was utterly amazed and exclaimed, "Madam, you are so beautiful." This was someone Gong Shangjiao had brought to serve Shangguan Qian.

She wore a red wedding dress embroidered with gold thread, prepared by Gong Shangjiao. It was clear that it was made overnight, with comfortable and delicate fabric and exquisite embroidery, showing that she had put a lot of effort into it.

Shangguan Qian simply applied lipstick. Gong Shangjiao wanted to find someone to do her makeup, but she declined.

This face is beautiful even when it's simple, and it's even more perfect after I came here; it doesn't need much embellishment.

Shangguan smiled slightly: "Put the veil on."

Peony: "Yes."

After the veil was put on, Gong Shangjiao came in shortly afterward, picked up Shangguan Qian and put her into the sedan chair.

Gong Shangjiao's voice was pleasant: "Hold on tight, we'll be boarding the ship and entering the palace gates later."

Shangguan Qian: "Mm."

The procession set off, followed by people carrying the dowry, which was prepared by Gong Shangjiao.

After the two completed their wedding ceremony, Shangguan Qian was helped to sit down in the room.

Gong Shangjiao returned shortly afterward, picked up the jade ruyi from the side, and nervously lifted the veil.

Although it was a fake marriage, I was still very excited and hoped that it could become real in the future.
