In the beginning, he said, "A lowly commoner from Jiangning County? What a disgraceful status, I won't marry her!"
After meeting her, he clicked his tongue, "So frail and delicate, she can't stand a blow, too weak, I refuse!"
When she approached him alone, carrying the marriage book, he stood leaning on the door, grinning insolently, "Are you here to make me marry you? But this young master doesn’t want to marry young!"
Upon learning she was there to annul their marriage, his face turned dark as a thunderstorm, emanating a murderous aura, "Who gave you the guts to revoke the marriage with this young master?"

Su Rong felt, Duanhua Princess must be blind, this man was so pampered and spoiled, how was he worth dying or living for?

The tender signs of spring on the delicate Hibiscus pillow, amidst the drunken flowers filling the room, unnoticed. — Su Rong.
A gallant young man in fine clothes and on a steed, a single glance causes a lifetime of confusion. — Zhou Gu
Your wish is my wish. I wish to have known you earlier, protect you among the aromatic chambers strewn with brocades. Tear through the illusions, cut down the thorns, with hands unstained by blood, just as pure as you were when we first met, the young and soft little girl.
Your wish is my wish. I wish I had known you sooner when you were like a refreshing breeze near the moon. I dared not approach for fear of disturbing the phoenix and mandarin ducks. Praying to be the moon in the sky to cast a reflection on you, accompany you while you watch the flowers bloom in the spring and gaze at the snow in winter, each and every year at Chang'an.

Dawei's troops were stationed at the border, preparing secretly. They hadn't made their move yet because they were waiting for news of Zhang Ping attacking the Capital City. Or to be more specific, they were waiting for news of Zhang Ping clashing with the Capital City's troops led by the old Duke so they could seize the opportunity and step in.


Three hundred thousand troops might seem like a lot or a little, depending on the timing. For example, if there were no civil strife in Daliang, Dawei's three hundred thousand troops wouldn't be that significant. But if Daliang were to fall into internal chaos, Dawei's three hundred thousand soldiers could easily cross the border and take over various cities in Dawei once they crossed the border.


The commander leading Dawei's troops was Helan Jue. He waited for several days without receiving any news from Zhang Ping. Becoming restless, he ordered a spy, "Sneak into Daliang and find out what's going on."
