[Down-on-her-luck, resilient orphan girl X gentle, refined minister / Both are each other's only one]
At sixteen, Jiang Tangning lost her family.
With nowhere else to turn, she went alone to the capital with her marriage contract and found the Xu family.
But the Xu family was no longer what it had been. How could they possibly think highly of an orphan like Jiang Tangning?
On the day she arrived, Xu Mingze, the heir, made a scene and broke off the engagement on the spot.
"I refuse to marry an orphan like her!"
The Xu family went back on their word. Jiang Tangning was deeply disappointed, but she didn't insist.
As she turned to leave, the Xu family's younger son, a man as handsome as a tree of jade, entered wearing a white cloak. He looked like an elegant, radiant moon god come down to earth, yet he said to her, "If he won't marry you, I will."

Xu Yanqing held a high position, and countless noble young ladies in the capital dreamed of marrying him. Outsiders all thought he had been forced by the engagement to marry a down-on-her-luck orphan, and could only sigh over the pity of it.
Until one day, someone caught sight of the upright, pristine Lord Xu holding that young woman in his arms, speaking humbly as he kissed and coaxed her: "A Ning, I was wrong. Don't be angry anymore, okay?"
Everyone was stunned. Forced to marry her? Lord Xu was clearly head over heels for her!
