By a twist of fate, the least favored legitimate daughter of the General’s Residence was betrothed to Prince Chen, the most promising young noble in the court.

When the many noble young ladies of the capital heard this “terrible news,” their hearts broke.

Song Anqin gazed at the imperial decree in her hands, her thoughts in turmoil.

“Father, can we return this decree?”

General Song smiled with a knowing air.

“Qin’er, you can’t hide your little schemes from me. His Majesty has personally granted you this excellent match. Just marry him without worry and leave the rest to your father.”

Song Anqin was at a loss for words and tried to turn to her two older brothers for help, but they beat her to it.

Eldest Brother: “Little Sister, our family is about to go off to war. It really wouldn’t be convenient to take you along.”

Second Brother: “Just go and be a princess consort. When we return victorious, we’ll be sure to visit you at the prince’s residence.”

Seeing that there was no one to help her, Song Anqin nervously carried the imperial decree back to her bedroom.
