I was the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Jiang's household, beautiful as a flower.
But the foolish emperor made a hasty match, decreeing a marriage before the court.
He betrothed me to General Du, who had just returned victorious from war.
Rumor had it that before joining the army, General Du had been a butcher.
He was not only fat and broad, with the build of a bear, but also a vicious killer who slaughtered without mercy.
At the time, I was discussing marriage with the second son of Minister Pei.
My father used this as a reason to refuse the match before the court.
The emperor flew into a rage and threw my father in prison.
To save him, I had no choice but to marry into the General's household.
