During Mu Lanshan's haircut ceremony that year, eighteen-year-old Xu Gu took her to the highest tower in the capital. They looked at the bright moon hanging high in the distance and the stars in the sky. Xu Gu suddenly turned his gaze to her, with a smile in his eyes. At this moment, she felt that he was more dazzling than the stars in the sky. She couldn't help but be distracted and smiled at him. The fireworks in the distance lit up the night sky. Mu Lanshan heard Xu Gu say to wait for him in the sound of fireworks. When he returned from the expedition and had enough military merit, he asked for permission to marry her. Mu Lanshan's ears turned red and she nodded. His face was full of uncontrollable excitement and he gently hugged the person next to him.
So she waited until she was 17. Although she has become an older woman in the capital, there are still many young men coming to propose marriage, but she looks down on none of them. The Duke Protector and his wife were very anxious about this, but he said that he would ask to marry her when the chaos in the border areas was calmed down and he had achieved military exploits.
On the day the army returned to Beijing, gongs and drums were ringing loudly in the city. She looked around for that familiar figure, but found nothing.
Walking at the front of the procession was a coffin. The tablet in front of the coffin read "The memorial tablet of Major General Xu Guzhi."
She can no longer wait for eighteen-year-old Xu Gu to marry her...
Intention: Lovers will eventually get married
