Quick Transmigration: After the Backup Love Awakens, He Sacrifices the Official Partner to the Heave

After Ji Guimu left, Jiang Zui summoned a servant and inquired about Ji Guimu's affairs.

"What's the young master's name?!"

"Ah?!" A hint of surprise flashed in the servant's eyes, but he calmly said, "Young Master Ji, whose name is Ji Guimu, is the heir of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion and is His Highness's study companion."

Season...season is coming to an end?!

Jiang Zui's pupils suddenly darkened, his hand holding the teacup trembled for a moment, and he asked again in disbelief, "You...you just said...Ji...Ji what?!"

"The season returns to its end!"

The words "Ji Guimu" reached Jiang Zui's ears.

Suddenly, it was as if fireworks were going off in Jiang Zui's mind.

Is the season ending?!

Is the season ending?!

Is it him? !

Ji Guimu is his wife's name, and she just happens to appear in this world.

After figuring things out, Jiang Zui grinned, his eyes brimming with joy, and thought to himself:

So... he and Ji Guimu knew each other so long ago?!

"System! Did you hear that?! Ji Guimu?! My wife!"

The system pretended to be calm and said, "Host, remember my warning: your wife didn't come into this world."

"And that person just happens to share the same name as your wife."

These words instantly extinguished Jiang Zui's enthusiasm. His voice, tinged with disappointment yet tinged with a glimmer of hope, asked, "Is...is there not even the slightest possibility?!"

"No," the system retorted decisively. "Host, you should trust the data."

Data doesn't lie.

I really couldn't detect your wife's soul.

Therefore, your wife will never exist in this world.

The system's words dealt Jiang Zui a heavy blow.

But... he always felt that the person was his wife.

The system's cold, mechanical voice warned: "Host, please don't forget the requirements of this world."

You cannot get into any emotional entanglements with anyone in your little world.

Otherwise... just wait for your wife to come and settle the score with you.

Jiang Zui felt somewhat helpless, as if this little world was specially set up for him by his wife.

If he mistook someone for someone else, or didn't recognize them at all.

He...he was afraid he might be in a terrible situation.

There are less than two weeks until the Lantern Festival.

In the past half month, Jiang Zui had everything prepared and sent people to Minzhou in advance to make preparations.

The Prince Rui's Mansion in Minzhou had also been cleaned up early, ready for Jiang Zui to move in at any time.

During this period, Ji Guimu frequently visited Prince Rui's residence.

At first, he didn't know how to get along with Ji Guimu, and he was a little reserved in his speech and actions.

After all, since the other party is using his wife's name, there's a 50% chance that it's his wife.

Unexpectedly, Ji Guimu was quite blunt.

They directly attacked him, physically assaulting him.

Ji Guimu was afraid that Jiang Zui would be heartbroken because of the emperor's coldness, so he visited Jiang Zui with the intention of comforting him.

Of course, there was also a little bit of his own selfish motive involved.

Ji Guimu put his arm around Jiang Zui's shoulder and comforted him, "Alright, don't be upset."

Isn't that how emperors have always been?!

He only favored the children born to the Imperial Concubine, whether they were princes or princesses.

Didn't you say you were already disappointed with the emperor?

Why are you doing this?!

Jiang Zui's eyes held a hint of probing, but he said firmly, "Ji...it's not because of the Emperor."

"Why is that?!" Ji Guimu stared wide-eyed at Jiang Zui, looking bewildered, and asked.

Jiang Zui: "I have someone I like!"

Before he could finish speaking, Ji Guimu suddenly stood up, exclaiming in surprise, "What did you say?!"

You have someone you like?!

who is it? !

Where do you live?!

How old are you this year?!

ahhh-

Who is it?!

Who has captured His Highness's heart?!

Even though he kept a close watch on His Highness, His Highness never mentioned any romantic feelings.

Why today...

Seeing Ji Guimu so agitated, Jiang Zui coughed and pretended not to understand, saying, "What are you so agitated about?!"

I have someone I like, that's none of your business, right?!

Ji Guimu dared not look into Jiang Zui's eyes, his eyelashes fluttering, and he said guiltily, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I am just a little surprised. I wonder... which young lady has won Your Majesty's heart?"

Jiang Zui sighed and shook his head, saying, "Not a woman!"

"That's a man?!" Ji Guimu answered without even thinking.

Jiang Zui looked at Ji Guimu seriously and nodded in agreement: "That's right!"

It's a man!

Upon hearing the word "man," Ji Guimu's eyes lit up instantly.

He's waited all these years, could it be that His Highness has finally come to his senses!?

Hard work pays off!

He eventually won the prince's favor.

Ji Guimu was filling in the blanks in his mind.

He had no doubt that the person Jiang Zui was talking about was not him.

After all, he had been Jiang Zui's companion since he was seven years old, and now Jiang Zui was twenty-five.

Eighteen years! A full eighteen years. He was certain that he held a certain place in Jiang Zui's heart.

Ji Guimu's guess was correct. When Jiang Zui first entered this small world, Ji Guimu was his good brother. It could be said that the two were even closer than blood brothers.

Unfortunately, Jiang Zui used to only have familial affection for Ji Guimu, not romantic love, not even the slightest spark of crossing the line.

Ji Guimu's ears turned red, and she lowered her head, asking in a low, reserved voice, "Then... I wonder which family's young master it is?!"

Jiang Zui secretly observed Ji Guimu's expression and said quietly, "He's gone!"

"Huh?!" Ji Guimu was stunned by Jiang Zui's words, his expression stiffening as he asked again in disbelief, "You... said..."

Jiang Zui's eyes held a hint of amusement as he said, "I've known him for a long time, but I've never dared to face him."

And he... his family is pressuring him to get married.

He can't help it.

To preserve our past relationship, he...left.

"They're gone?! What does that mean?!"

Jiang Zui smiled bitterly and said, "He's gone."

Hearing this, Ji Guimu finally felt relieved.

Thankfully, the other party is already dead.

Wait, Your Highness, where did you get this sweetheart from?!

How come he doesn't know anything?!

How did Your Highness and that person meet, get to know each other, and fall in love?!

Now, His Highness is forever separated from him.

Although no one was competing with him anymore, how could the living compare to the dead?

Even if he wins over His Highness's heart, there will likely always be a place for him in His Highness's heart.

No!

One's heart can only be given to one person.

How could Your Highness be so fickle?!

In an instant, anger rose in Ji Guimu's heart.

Despite his strict supervision, someone still managed to exploit a loophole and beat him to it.

Ji Guimu coughed and feigned disappointment, saying, "Your Highness, please accept my condolences."

Ji Guimu's thoughts were easy to guess. Jiang Zui could see through his thoughts at a glance. He smiled slightly and said sadly, "My condolences!"

Ji Guimu, do you understand what it feels like to lose the one you love?!

Jiajia, he...
