Jiang Muyin, the eldest daughter of the Duke's household, is a famous ice beauty in the capital. She has just come of age, and matchmakers hoping to arrange a marriage for Miss Jiang have worn a path to the Duke's gate.
Unfortunately, Duke Jiang dotes on his daughter and has exceedingly high standards, so he has been in no hurry to marry her off.
All the young men in the capital are terribly curious: who will ultimately become the Duke's son-in-law?
*
In the twenty-third year of Jianping, Emperor Jianping issued an imperial edict arranging Jiang Muyin's marriage to Huo Yan, the newly appointed Great General Who Assists the State.
That night, after Duke Jiang received the edict, he collapsed onto his bed and fell gravely ill.
Huo Yan is a fearless warrior who has won one military honor after another. The emperor personally appointed him Great General Who Assists the State, making him one of the most powerful and influential officials in the realm.
The trouble is, he is cruel by nature and kills without batting an eye. On top of that, his face is truly hideous. It is said that during the Battle of Xingshui, the moment General Huo's mask fell, enemy soldiers were so terrified they fell straight off their horses...
For the fragrant and delicate eldest daughter of the Duke's household to marry such a man is truly...

[Extra Scene]
One day, in a teahouse in the marketplace.
The crowd could not resist gossiping again. "His Majesty is so considerate of the Duke. Why would he issue an edict like this?"
As the words fell, a cold wind swept dust from the ground, and the sound of hooves abruptly stopped.
The crowd was startled and turned to look.
There sat the Great General Who Assists the State astride his warhorse, with... a veiled beauty in his arms?
Huo Yan held the reins in one hand, his eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty chill. He roared, "I personally asked His Majesty for this marriage edict. Does anyone have an objection?"
The crowd dropped to their knees before the horse, trembling. "N-no! We wouldn't dare! The general has made glorious contributions in battle. Asking for a beauty is hardly too much... not too much at all!"
Remembering how someone had just abducted her straight from her home, the veiled beauty lifted an eyebrow, went pliant in his arms, and leaned against his strong chest. Her rosy lips curved into a smile. "You still think that's not too much?"
Huo Yan lowered his eyes and gently coaxed his beloved. "It is too much, but I still want only you."
- [Huo Yan: I went from begging on the streets to surviving, to personally slaying ten thousand enemy soldiers and reaching the summit of power. I did it all to marry the moonlight in my heart.]
- [Cool and pampered young lady x devoted, possessive great general]

In the third year of Wude, the land was divided among warring powers. A wretched mother and son sought refuge at the Pingyang Marquis's residence in the capital.
The Pingyang Marquis was a man who valued loyalty and friendship. Remembering their old sworn brotherhood, he immediately welcomed the pair into his home.
That year, the young lady of the marquis's household, Rong Xi, was eight years old. The little darling, dressed in white satin, burst into the hall as usual, only to find Wei Zhao and his mother kneeling on the ground, their clothes tattered and stained with blood. The little girl jumped in fright, her face full of fear.
The Marchioness doted on her daughter. She quickly gathered the girl into her arms and asked gently, "Did they scare you?" When her daughter did not answer, she shot the marquis a displeased look...
The scene became unbearably awkward.
Rong Xi was a sensible girl. She bit her lip, calmed herself, and was about to say she was all right. But when she cautiously raised her head, she met Wei Zhao's dark eyes again. Like a little wolf cub, he glared at her with cold defiance, a strange light glimmering in his black pupils...
"..."
The little darling burst into tears. "Waaah, Father... I don't want them living with us... I'm scared..."
As Rong Xi wished, the little wolf cub left the marquis's residence just a few years later.
Later, the Pingyang Marquis was accused of colluding with the enemy and plotting treason. The emperor flew into a rage and ordered a thorough investigation of the marquis's household.
The day the Pingyang Marquis was thrown into prison was the day Wei Zhao returned in triumph after putting down a rebellion by the vassal kings. In reward for quelling the rebellion, the emperor personally appointed him General Who Commands Distant Authority and placed the capital's imperial guards under his command.
That night, the former little darling of the marquis's household knelt in the general's reception hall. Her eyes were red as a rabbit's, and she trembled, looking utterly pitiful.
The General Who Commands Distant Authority sat in a rosewood chair, his brows furrowed. He said nothing.
After a long silence, Wei Zhao finally stood. But as soon as he took two steps toward her, the young woman began trembling even harder.
Seeing Rong Xi shake like a leaf, the helpless big-tailed wolf furrowed his brows. At last, he crouched down, stroked the little rabbit's head, and sighed softly. "What are you so afraid of me for...?"
[Sweet, timid little white rabbit x scheming, secretly devoted big-tailed wolf]

A love story about a big-tailed wolf rising to power and carrying a little rabbit back to his den :)
Theme: When love runs deep, everything else does too.
Don't you think the heroine is a bit pretentious? She didn't say anything herself, and she was told to read the brochure carefully, but she didn't read it herself, and she still said those words. A man would be sad, and she didn't say anything when she was unhappy. If her temper was like this, she only thought about her own mood, and didn't consider the mood of the male protagonist at all. How could she only think about others pampering her, but not want to treat others the same way?
After reading it... The character of the male protagonist is actually a bit like that of the male protagonist in ancient novels. He treats his subordinates like slaves or is quite rude to the female protagonist's father... But he is very kind to the female protagonist, he is reckless, straight and loyal. I quite liked the hostess before she got married. She was a noble girl with a bit of a temper and some tricks. There is also the noble girl who is reserved and noble, and sometimes she is just too pretentious to be cute (the only thing I can't figure out is her attitude towards her father. She says she is not angry, but her actions show that she is actually resentful, but I think nurturing grace should be greater than giving birth to grace. Her father is sorry and no one can be sorry to her. After all, he has loved and pampered her for decades). The pre-marriage plot is also interesting. The plot fell apart a bit after the marriage, and both the male and female protagonists seemed to be inexplicably OOC. The male protagonist is a little better, he is no longer as reckless and interesting as before. The heroine is more pretentious and prone to overthinking than before marriage. Maybe this was the case for women in ancient times. After all, there are too few marriage guarantees for women. But before marriage, the heroine was obviously more proactive. She would tell him when she was happy and go to the military camp to find him (although going to the military camp is a big bug, but it is barely acceptable to make the character non-ooc in order to promote the emotional line). After marriage, the heroine chose to keep her worries and grievances in her heart and plant a sapling of doubt for herself. She saw her own grievance and pain, but not her husband's. Although the heroine is the benefactor of the hero's family, feelings are mutual. The heroine's behavior makes me feel that their love is unequal. The heroine gives the hero so-called "love" without harming her own interests, but I have reservations about whether it is love. The male protagonist learns, contributes, and changes for the female protagonist, but the female protagonist does not. The female protagonist is more accepting and attached. In the ancient context, this is understandable after marriage, but in this article, it seems that there is a disconnect before and after marriage. Maybe you put the blame on the "arrogance" of being favored after marriage? But this kind of "pride and pride" thing, they both are willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, but this kind of love that seems to ask for no return or equality only exists in the ideal (but that would make the relationship even more unequal). I didn't read the last few chapters carefully because I felt that the plot was broken and the characters were over-the-top. It was difficult to calm down and read the chapters because of these breakdowns. But Before the Wedding Room was well written.
"Who is the Gu and the Minister of the Rong Mansion" is a great sight for the author [rabbit head with erect ears] [rabbit head with erect ears] to catch a bug~
