Xiziqing

A good brother was troubled by the need to break off a marriage engagement,
After drinking, the young Marquis of Marquis Duanjing Residence, Yan Qing, was willing to take a stab for his good brother, "It's just a woman, right? I'll marry her!"
When the alcohol wore off, he looked at Ling Hua who had come to find him—
He regretted it so much his guts turned green!
At the age of thirteen, Ling Hua struck the complaint drum to bring a lawsuit to the Emperor's attention, daring to risk her life by dragging down the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor's family from power, saving the entire Ling Family and thus making a name for herself in the Capital City. Three years later, she reorganized the Ling Family, firmly grasping it in her hands, leaving no one able to shake it.
Every time Yan Qing mentioned her, he sighed with emotion, thankful he didn't marry this woman.
—In the end, he married her!

Yan Qing: A young man holding a grasp of the crisp breeze, intoxicating the verdant courtyard with the fragrance of orchids for miles
Ling Hua: Stained by the color of Begonia from Qiyun Mountain, worthy of plucking a single bloom to hasten the adornment of makeup

The Strategy of Love

Xu Zizhou and Yan Qing happened to meet and were heading the same way for a stretch, so Xu Zizhou walked his horse alongside Yan Qing while they chatted idly.


Although he harbored affections for Ling Hua deep in his heart, he bore no ill will towards Yan Qing, so even after becoming thoroughly dispirited after their tea and chess meeting that day, he gallantly digested his melancholy all on his own.


Seeing Yan Qing again today and knowing that he had personally gone to the Ling Family to perform the nagé ritual for betrothal, Xu Zizhou felt complex emotions but was not without acceptance; in addition to congratulating him with a smile and seeing Yan Qing accept the congratulations with ease, he refrained from saying more and instead inquired about Shen Ping'an.
