Marriage with the Death [3]

The morning of the wedding dawned with a serene glow, casting a soft light over the Jade Imperial Palace.

Unlike the grand and extravagant celebrations typical of royal marriages, this wedding was a private affair.

Only the most distinguished families and trusted allies were invited.

Inside the Hall, people are anticipating the wedding.

The hall is modest in grandeur compared to larger events.

Ivory drapes framed the tall, arched windows, letting in soft sunlight that bathed the room in a warm, golden glow.

The guests, a select gathering of nobles, sect leaders, and prominent figures, were seated in their designated places.

Each attendee received a personal invitation after all.

At the front, close to the ceremonial platform, Li Jia and Yao Jing sat together.

Li Jia leaned slightly against the armrest, her eyes flickering toward the entrance in curiosity.
