[Three Kingdoms] (Zhao Yun X Sun Shangxiang) The Roaring Min River

That year, she was seventeen. That year, she wore a phoenix crown and bridal robes, weighed down by heavy gold hairpins and jade ornaments, with the finest rouge on her face. That year, the man she loved most rode the fine horse before her bridal sedan. His bearing was bold and spirited, drawing frequent glances from the passersby. That year, as she held the flower ball and bowed with the man at the other end of the wedding sash, a tear slipped silently down her face beneath the red veil, smearing the makeup on her cheek. The man she loved stood silently in a corner of the hall, his joy and sorrow impossible to read. The man who was to become her husband was over fifty. And she was the most beautiful woman in Eastern Wu, with the blooming youth of a seventeen-year-old. Her name was Sun Shangxiang. And the man she loved was Zhao Zilong of Changshan. Their story was destined to have no sequel. And yet, to share a bond with him for a lifetime was good enough. Yueying: "What's the use of loving him so devotedly? In his eyes, you'll always be his lord's wife." Kongming: "Even if Zilong had feelings for you, he is too loyal to ever overstep his bounds." Madam Wu: "Now that we've become women, we shouldn't dream of too much freedom. Go, child. Being able to see him from time to time is a blessing in itself." Sun Ru: "Big sister, one day I'll marry a man even more handsome than him."
