Living in the turbulent times between the old and the new, everyone can't help themselves.
Tang Zhilan, the third daughter of the Household Secretary and the legitimate daughter of the Tang Dynasty, was harassed by her future husband Shen Changqing to break off the engagement before she left the cabinet. This matter spread throughout Beijing and became a big joke in the city.
She thought he disliked her, because after all, he was a handsome young man in the capital who admired Western learning and was extremely talented, while she was a gentle and upright lady raised by an old-style family. They were not supposed to have any intersection, but unexpectedly, a marriage contract connected their fates, and fate played a trick on them.
But later, it was he who stood up for her in front of the memorial tablets of her ancestors in the ancestral hall, and it was he who helped her bid farewell to her homeland and go south to make a living.
He originally just wanted to change the law to serve the country and revive the mountains and rivers of the past, but when he climbed up and looked at the moon, he thought that he still had her and had a family. In his heart, there are mountains and rivers on one side, and Qingqing on the other.
"My husband is bent on changing his mind. Doesn't he dislike the old-style marriage?"
"Marriage is old, but you are not."
"Oh? Marriage is old and I am new?"
"Well, you are, my sweetheart."
