At the end of the Qing dynasty, the Mu and Zhang families arranged a betrothal for their children. Mu Yichen and the Zhang family’s Grand Elder betrothed the newborn Mu An and Zhang Qiling to each other. Zhang Qiling gently took Mu An’s hand, and Mu An opened her eyes to look at him. Their fate was sealed just like that. But a great calamity nearly destroyed the Zhang family, and at thirteen, Zhang Qiling became its last clan leader. The Zhang family’s Grand Elder felt they could delay the wedding no longer, and hurriedly married off the two children, both around twelve or thirteen. Mu An had a Zhang-family qilin hairpin, qilin necklace, qilin ring, and more.
Zhang Qiling: “From the moment I held An’an’s hand as a newborn, our fate began. I’ll protect her all my life.”
Mu An: “Xiao Guan held my hand. His little hand was warm. I never imagined that this was only the beginning of us finding each other.”
