On the Day of the Grand Wedding, My Wife Was Acting Strange - Chapter 1:

Chapter 1: Marriage? Marry Your Uncle! Catching Adultery!

“Congratulations to the Regent’s Mansion for welcoming a new member today. The heir is happily married.”

“Congratulations to the heir for marrying such a beautiful bride. Truly a match made in heaven, bringing honor to everyone present!”

It was the grand wedding at the Lin residence, attended by nobles and dignitaries from all over. High officials and ministers filled the place.

Dressed in splendid clothes, faces beaming with joy, they followed the red carpet, exchanging toasts and enjoying the festive atmosphere.

“Old Liu, as the heir’s father-in-law, today’s occasion is extraordinary. Come, this cup of wedding wine, you must drink it all!”

“Where is my dear nephew? That rascal, getting married but not serving wine. Where has he run off to now?”

The protagonist of the day was Lin Zhen, heir of the Lin family.

However, at this moment, Lin Zhen was squatting alone beside the moon gate, watching the singing and dancing with no hint of joy on his face. Instead, there was a trace of sorrow.

Because he had just been cuckolded.

The domineering CEO and male lead, Gu Beichen, was currently in the bridal chamber with his wife, Liu Shuyao, engaging in shady acts.

Being cheated on on his wedding night, no man could endure that.

But what made Lin Zhen even more furious wasn’t just that—it was the fact that this body had less than three months to live!

He was originally a central government-selected civil servant named Lin Zhen, who accidentally transmigrated into the novel “The Empress Is Also My Caged Bird,” right into the plot of the protagonist’s wedding.

Lin Zhen was a famous playboy of the Great Qian Nation, the only grandson of Lin Zhenxian, Grand Marshal of the world’s armies, Left Deputy Minister, Left Prime Minister, Pillar of the Nation, and Regent.

Sounds impressive, but he was also the first stepping stone for Gu Beichen to gain experience and eliminate.

At present, the Lin family held immense power, but the family was not prosperous. His parents had died early, leaving only Lin Zhen as the sole heir.

Unfortunately, Lin Zhen was an idle, gluttonous, and lazy scoundrel, infatuated with Liu Shuyao, the granddaughter of Assistant Minister Liu Hanyang. He had even begged Lin Zhenxian to help the Liu family rise.

Now, Liu Hanyang had become Deputy Minister of Revenue, a fourth-rank official, and Liu Shuyao had married Lin Zhen as promised.

That was today.

Gu Beichen, the top scholar, had once advised the Empress, earning her favor. With his protagonist aura, he acted fearlessly and came to the Lin residence to snatch the bride that very night.

And Liu Shuyao actually left with him.

When Lin Zhen found out, he cried to his grandfather, who made a scene at the morning court. The Empress, forced by the situation, had Gu Beichen return Liu Shuyao.

After a night of torment, Liu Shuyao was no longer pure, but Lin Zhen still adored her, entrusting all affairs of the household to her, living up to his name as a hopeless simp.

In the end, Liu Shuyao turned around and became Gu Beichen and the Empress’s informant, even infiltrating the Lin family deeply.

Three months later, the Chu Kingdom launched an attack from the north against Great Qian Nation at Xionglu. Lin Zhenxian was defeated and killed, losing vast territories.

The Empress had always been wary of the Lin family’s military power, and the officials feared the Lin family’s overwhelming influence. They all secretly plotted to bring down the Lin family.

After Lin Zhenxian’s death, the Lin family fell, their house confiscated, and their clan exterminated.

Lin Zhen was captured by traitors within the Lin family and handed over to Gu Beichen, who turned him into a human swine, offering him at the Yellow River as a toad.

As for Liu Shuyao, not only did she not die, but she was taken by Gu Beichen and kept in his residence, truly becoming a caged bird.

Her father, Liu Hanyang, continued serving as an official, greatly favored by the Empress.

The most disgusting thing was that Lin Zhen, afraid of upsetting the beauty, hadn’t even touched her for three months!

All for nothing, letting that bastard Gu Beichen reap the benefits!

After sorting through these memories, Lin Zhen couldn’t help but sigh. “If it weren’t for the protagonist aura, how could Gu Beichen possibly be the Lin family’s opponent? That damned author writing nonsense against the plot, causing me to suffer as well.”

Thinking about his remaining three months of life, Lin Zhen felt a headache coming on.

Marriage? Marry your uncle.

How could he be in the mood to get married now?

He had to start planning immediately, or else in three months, he wouldn’t even have the chance to be a peaceful young master.

After a moment, once his thoughts were clear, Lin Zhen looked up at the sky.

It was already late. If he went to catch them now, it would surely shatter Gu Beichen’s image in everyone’s eyes.

This would be the first step in bringing down Gu Beichen.

“Heh, since that’s the case, don’t blame me.”

A sly and cold smile flashed across Lin Zhen’s face. He stood up, ready to catch them in the act.

But then he thought it over and found it inappropriate.

Such a grand scene of man and woman entangled in passion, how could he watch it alone?

Of course, he had to call his buddies to join him!

As for saving face… he had long stuffed that into his pants when he decided to become an official.

Lin Zhen grabbed a wine jar and returned to the courtyard.

The scene was still lively. The elders and officials were in the main hall, while outside was a group of young noble heirs forming a playboy alliance, drinking and playing games happily.

“Come on, brothers, let’s drink a few cups!”

“Five Kuei Shou! Six six six!”

“Drink! Drink!”

Lin Zhen smiled wickedly and walked over to the rowdiest table, shouting loudly, “Brothers!”

“Hey! The groom finally showed up. I thought you couldn’t wait to enter the bridal chamber!”

“What nonsense? Our big brother entered the bridal chamber when he was nine. What’s one more night?”

“I agree. Big brother, tomorrow let’s go out and I’ll treat you! Let’s stir things up at Yanlai Tower with that proprietress! Damn, last time the four of us couldn’t handle her. This time, with you, we must take her down!”

“No problem. A brothel madam is nothing to me!” Lin Zhen waved his hand, agreeing heartily, then lowered his voice and said, “But today, I have an even more fun thing to do. Brothers, want to join me?”

“If big brother says it’s fun, then it must be the best!”

“Big brother, tell us quickly.”

“Hehehe.” Lin Zhen laughed like an owl, making the few playboys around him feel a chill. “I’ll take you to crash the bridal chamber!”

“Huh? When has the groom ever led the crash? Isn’t that against etiquette?”

“Etiquette? Do you even have such a thing? If Lin Zhen says crash the bridal chamber, then we crash it! Let’s go!”

Everyone put down their golden cups and got up to head to the backyard.

At this moment, Lin Zhen suddenly grabbed someone’s wrist.

This person was Wang Peng, son of the Great General of the Heavenly Canopy, nicknamed Fatty Wang.

He was two meters tall, weighed nearly three hundred pounds, and was highly skilled in martial arts.

His father, Wang Tienan, was Lin Zhenxian’s adopted son from his early years, so Lin Zhen and he had been childhood friends, their relationship extremely close. He was also Lin Zhen’s number one thug when dominating various brothels and gambling dens.

Fatty Wang asked, “Big brother, what’s wrong?”

“Fatty, you stay. After the time of one incense stick, bring all the guests to the bridal chamber. Just say that your sister-in-law and I have prepared a huge surprise for them!”

“Got it! I’ll go inform Grandpa Lin now.”

“Also, send someone to ask where Her Majesty is now.”

“Yes.”

Lin Zhen looked at the bustling scene, his gaze growing sharper.

I’m here, Gu Beichen. Your protagonist aura ends today.

I will steal all your luck, cut off all your chances of survival, and take everything that was supposed to be yours.

Then I’ll dominate this era and become the ruler of the world!
