Xiao Qian'an, a regular at the pleasure quarter’s taverns and a thorn in the side of powerful noble families.
Jiang Yunlan, the legitimate eldest daughter of a scholarly household, famed throughout the capital for her talent and beauty.
A letter from Xiao Qian'an’s mother and a reply from Jiang Yunlan’s mother bind the two together.
“Miss Jiang, you don’t love me, and I don’t love you. Why don’t we each run away from this wedding?”
Jiang Yunlan sat upright, her dark eyes quietly fixed on Xiao Qian'an. She said nothing.
On the eve of the wedding, Xiao Qian'an nimbly climbed over the back wall of the Xiao manor, only to be seized and tied up the moment he landed.
In the night, Jiang Yunlan smiled gently, her eyes shining like stars.
“Someone take the groom back to the Xiao manor to await the wedding.”
