A new tavern had opened in Suzhou City. Its owner was a young woman, gentle by nature, who always greeted people with a smile and possessed a beauty that could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky.
The people of this frontier town were rough and unrestrained. Every so often, someone dazzled by the proprietress's beauty would show up with betrothal gifts to ask for her hand. There were also those emboldened by drink, who tried to take advantage of her while under the influence.
Those who came to propose and listened sensibly when told no, accepting defeat and leaving, could walk away with their dignity intact. Those who dared to use their drunkenness as an excuse to pester her and make a scene were usually given a sound beating and thrown out.
As time went by, apart from a few simple-minded fools who kept mulling over the idea of marrying the proprietress, Qin Xing, everyone in the city came to believe that she would never marry again.
But surprises always come without warning.
That day, the wind howled and its direction suddenly shifted. After a rumor spread wildly through the city for a day, it reached the Northwest Army Camp.

Update? Damn it, otherwise I wouldn't be able to remember the previous plot [Chigua]
