For generations, the Qiao family had rendered distinguished service to the empire. Thanks to the protection of their ancestors, they inherited the title of Marquis of Jingyuan.
Among the younger generation, the eldest daughter of the first branch was obedient and virtuous, poised and self-possessed;
the legitimate daughter of the second branch was well-read and widely renowned;
the only son of the third branch was a martial arts prodigy and a young hero;
the adopted son of the fourth branch was a master of strategy...

And yet, it seemed everyone had forgotten that there was one more young member of the Qiao family: Qiao Yao.
