Jiang Shao is the daughter of a physician from Qingyun Sect. Following her father's dying wish, she marries Wei Ju, the garrison commander of Yunzhou.
Rumor has it that Wei Ju is lazy and dispirited, without ambition, and a regular at Yunzhou's taverns.
Until the day the prefect's daughter goes missing.
In a pitch-dark den of Gu poison, Jiang Shao sees her usually dissolute husband holding a bloodstained saber and leading her out into the sunlight.
The man casually wipes the blood from his blade and tilts his head to look at her, the corners of his eyes lifting. "Don't be afraid, my lady. Come home with me."
[Bonus Scene]
Late at night, at the Wei residence.
Jiang Shao rubs her aching lower back and glares at the man by the bed, who is smiling innocently as he pours her tea. "Wei Ju, is this what you meant by being hurt by Gu poison and needing an antidote to recover?"
Wei Ju blinks his sparkling, peach-blossom eyes and smiles brightly. "Yes. My Gu poison hasn't been cured yet, so I can only take my Shao'er as the antidote."
Jiang Shao: "...Get lost."
