On Lantern Night in the Yuan Dynasty, I made an engagement with Lu Jingming, the best gentleman in the capital.
Everyone said that this was a match made in heaven - he was the Prime Minister's legitimate son, and I was the Grand Tutor's legitimate daughter, a talented and beautiful woman, a perfect match.
