The Young General

After hunting together for seven years, the young general of the Marquis of Wenchang's household, Song, was ordered by his father to choose a bride. The noble young ladies of the whole capital gathered at the Marquis of Wenchang's residence to compose poetry and prose. Who would have thought that the one who came out on top would be the sickly beauty from the Prime Minister's household? Amid the capital's red wedding decorations, plenty of people were waiting for a spectacle, alongside the heartbroken young ladies: "I've heard the young general fought a hundred enemies at once on the northern frontier. But the Prime Minister's daughter is sickly every day. If these two marry, there'll surely be quite a show!" Yet as the days passed after the wedding, the young general of the Marquis of Wenchang's household did not, as everyone expected, disappear on hunting trips for days at a time and leave his bride alone. Instead, he grew more and more devoted to home. It became the capital's greatest wonder. - Yin Sifan had been frail and sickly since childhood, but she had long admired a dashing young man in fine clothes.
