Chapter 1 : The Bridal Chamber Swaps the Groom

• In the city of Linjiang, there was the Dragon Sea Group.
• Wearing a security guard uniform, Fang Shuotian followed a BMW 750 into the underground parking lot.
• After the car stopped, Fang Shuotian ran to the side of the car and lightly tapped on the window.
• The window rolled down, revealing a narrow gap.
• Through the gap, one could see a beautiful woman sitting inside the car, wearing a women's suit, sunglasses, and heavy makeup.
• The woman was Fang Shuotian's nominal wife, Su Lingxue.
• Su Lingxue looked straight ahead without even glancing at Fang Shuotian, and said in an extremely cold tone, "What's the matter with you coming to find me so early in the morning?"
• Fang Shuotian's expression was very conflicted. After hesitating for a moment, he mustered up the courage to say, "Wife, please help me! Lend me ten thousand yuan as an emergency fund, and I will find a way to pay you back in the future."
• Su Lingxue took off her sunglasses, turned her head to look at Fang Shuotian, and said with a displeased expression, "Wife? Are you out of your mind, or am I not awake yet? How dare you call me your wife?"
• Fang Shuotian quickly corrected himself, "Su... Su Lingxue! I'm sorry. It was a slip of the tongue."
• "Good that you know. If you call me wrong again, don't even think about getting a single cent from me."
• Saying that, Su Lingxue took out a Dior saddle bag from the passenger seat and took out ten thousand yuan in cash from it. Then she opened the door, got out of the car, and handed the money to Fang Shuotian.
• "I really don't understand what my grandfather was thinking, not allowing me to divorce you. Just the thought of our names being written on a marriage certificate makes me feel sick."
• Fang Shuotian lowered his head and said, "Yes! With my status, I am not worthy of you, Miss Su!"
• Su Lingxue coldly said, "Is this your attitude when you need money?"
• Fang Shuotian clenched his fists slightly. Although he was dissatisfied, he slowly knelt down on both knees and said, "I was wrong. I didn't realize my place."
• As the saying goes, a man can make a fortune if he kneels down.
• But at this moment, Fang Shuotian couldn't care less about his dignity as a man. All he needed was money.
• Life-saving money!
• Su Lingxue looked down at him with lowered eyebrows, as if she was looking at a begging dog wagging its tail. "A stinky dog, shameless."
• After saying that, she forcefully smashed the cash in her hand onto Fang Shuotian's head, and the banknotes scattered on the ground like fallen leaves.
• Su Lingxue walked away with her high heels, full of arrogance, leaving behind a sentence, "You don't need to repay the money, consider it lost."
• "Thank you, Miss Su!"
• Fang Shuotian forced a smile and then squatted on the ground, picking up the banknotes one by one.
• At this peak hour of going to work, there were often white-collar workers passing by in the underground parking lot.
• Seeing Fang Shuotian picking up money in such a ridiculous manner, the crowd made mocking remarks:
• "Look! Isn't that the 'King of Green Hats'?"
• "It really is him. I guess he came to ask his wife for money."
• "A man who has reached his level is better off dead!"
• "Hahaha... I wish he would die. Then I would have a chance to pursue Miss Su."
• "Just forget it. Are you not afraid that Young Master Shen will trouble you for saying such things? Everyone in Linjiang City knows about Miss Su's affair with Young Master Shen!"
• "Just joking, don't spread rumors!"
• ...
• Listening to the cold ridicule from the passing white-collar workers, Fang Shuotian clenched his lips, his cheeks burning, filled with humiliation and anger.
• His marriage with Su Lingxue was like a farce, but it all started with his background.
• Fang Shuotian's mother, Chen Meiyun, was once a servant of the Fang family in the capital city. However, she developed a relationship with the eldest son of the Fang family, Fang Shiming, who was also Fang Shuotian's biological father. In the end, she gave birth to Fang Shuotian.
• As the saying goes, the mother's status determines the child's status.
• But the difference in status between Chen Meiyun and Fang Shiming was like heaven and earth.
• Chen Meiyun was eventually driven out of the Fang family, bringing the infant Fang Shuotian to the southwestern city of Linjiang.
• A year ago, the Su family found a way to establish a connection with the Fang family, hoping to establish a relationship with them.
• As one of the four major families in the capital city, the Fang family naturally looked down on the Su family, a small family. However, the Fang family had a thought: wasn't there an abandoned son in Linjiang City?
• Since this abandoned son was insignificant, they agreed to let Fang Shuotian marry into the Su family.
• Coincidentally, Fang Shuotian and Su Lingxue were high school classmates and knew each other. The Su family readily agreed to this marriage.
• Being able to establish a relationship with a noble family in the capital city, even if it meant marrying an abandoned son, the Su family would agree.
• But fate played a trick, and on their wedding night, news of the Fang family's downfall arrived.
• Due to face-saving reasons, the Su family still allowed Fang Shuotian and Su Lingxue to complete the wedding. On their bridal night, Fang Shuotian was unable to enter the bridal chamber and was instead driven out of the house by the snobbish Su Lingxue.
• And the young master of the Shen family in Linjiang City, Shen Feng, took the opportunity to step in and express his love to Su Lingxue.
• That night, it was Shen Feng who fulfilled the role of the groom for Fang Shuotian.
• Since then, a well-known joke spread throughout Linjiang City: the bridal chamber swaps the groom!
• Fang Shuotian was also labeled as the 'King of Green Hats'.
• As a man, this was an unbearable humiliation.
• Fang Shuotian also wanted to end this farce-like marriage, and the Su family also had the same intention.
• After all, the Fang family was already gone, and there was no need to keep Fang Shuotian, a useless waste.
• However, on the second day of the marriage, the Su family's patriarch scolded Su Lingxue and instructed everyone in the Su family not to underestimate Fang Shuotian. At the same time, he told Su Lingxue not to dissolve the marriage contract, as it would be detrimental to the Su family.
• No one knew the reason behind this, not even Fang Shuotian himself.
• Half a month later, the Su family patriarch passed away, and no one could know why he valued Fang Shuotian so much.
• Fang Shuotian was insignificant and had no control over even the matter of divorce.
• He could only stay in the Su family, becoming a useless son-in-law in name only, enduring the contempt and humiliation, suffering greatly.
• In this year, Su Lingxue had many secret meetings with Shen Feng, and their secret affair was well-known to everyone.
• As for Fang Shuotian, the visible son-in-law, he had never even touched Su Lingxue's hand.
• In the eyes of others, Fang Shuotian was a freeloader, a useless son-in-law of the Su family.
• However, he had a mysterious identity unknown to others - the commander-in-chief of the Great Xia Seventh Army, with the title of the Seven-Star Warlord!
• But even he himself didn't know about it.
• Because he... had amnesia!
• A year ago, when the front-line situation stabilized, Fang Shuotian decided to take this opportunity to return home and visit his elderly mother.
• It was unknown who leaked his whereabouts, which led to him being attacked by unknown individuals on the way.
• In that battle, he faced attacks from multiple forces alone.
• The most fatal blow was that he was drugged in advance.
• Even so, he still fought his way out and escaped.
• But his head suffered a heavy blow, causing him to lose all his memories of the war, and he reverted back to the insecure and cowardly man he was before joining the army.
• This was the cause of his year of humiliation.
• However, his memories were slowly recovering, and the Seven-Star Warlord who made the world tremble would eventually return!
