In the third year of Yongning's reign in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were no young ladies in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, but only Shen Zhiqiu, the eldest son with a mole at the end of his eyebrow.
His Majesty granted marriage to the Shen family's daughter, Pei Zhao, the general of Zhenbei. Shen Zhiqiu put on her wedding dress and planned to get through the marriage ceremony, forced identity and divorce, so that from now on the two would not owe each other anything. Unexpectedly, when the hijab was lifted, Pei Zhao tore up the letter and said, "I really want to try, what is it like to marry a man?"
Shen Zhiqiu thought it was a humiliation, but he didn't know that Pei Zhao had seen him under the osmanthus tree in the Imperial Garden thirteen years ago. At that time, he climbed the tree to pick flowers and said he wanted to make cakes for his sick mother. At that time, Pei Zhao fell from the rockery and cut the back of his neck. He stuffed a handful of osmanthus flowers to stop the bleeding and said, "It doesn't hurt."
"When you bit me," Pei Zhao pointed to the old scar on the side of his neck, his eyes dark, "it hurt a lot."
The court hall is turbulent and treacherous, and there is another hidden story behind the case of the embezzlement of the Marquis Mansion in Zhenbei thirteen years ago. Shen Zhiqiu discovered in his father's secret room that his "man disguised as a woman" was actually a scam that had lasted for twenty years; and the kerosene purchase order in Pei Zhao's hand was signed by His Majesty.
"The three-month appointment," Pei Zhao handed him the sweet-scented osmanthus branch, the petals still stained with morning dew, "is the selfish intention of this general."
Shen Zhiqiu took the flower branch and suddenly remembered the "little sister" who wore a skirt when he was a child - he laughed at the other person as "a girl wears pants", but the other party said seriously: "I will come to see you later."
"Are you coming to marry me?"
"…Okay."
