The Jin Yiwei's Spoiled Wife

In the seventh year of the Great Wei era, the humble clans rose to prominence. The Wei Emperor betrothed Su Lingling, daughter of a noble clan's cabinet minister, to Zhao Xuan, the lowborn Commander of the Imperial Guard. The decree set off an uproar among the humble clans and the noble families alike. The humble-clan generals said, "Commander, we've heard that the Su girl is spoiled and domineering, does whatever she wants, insists on forty-eight dishes at every meal, and refuses to wear the same pair of shoes twice. She was even engaged to someone before. She's truly not a suitable match for you!" The noble officials said, "Absolutely not! Zhao Xuan is a mere commoner. He only rose to his position by killing without mercy and being utterly ruthless. How could he possibly be worthy of the foremost noble lady in our clan?" After a fierce exchange of words, Zhao Xuan decided on his own to break off the engagement. When Su Lingling found out, she jumped with anger. "How could he beat me to it?" As a seasoned troublemaker, she'd always been the one to dump others, never the one getting dumped! Su Lingling schemed to run into Zhao Xuan three times. The first time, she smiled sweetly. "I've heard you're very skilled, Commander. Could you please rescue my little dog?" The second time, she gazed at him tenderly. "Thank you for saving my beloved pet, Commander. Please accept this little mandarin-duck purse as a token of my gratitude..." The third time, she looked at him with tearful eyes. "I heard you don't want this marriage. If so, I won't force you, Lingling... Though we met, it seems fate has left us without a match." Zhao Xuan's fingers twitched, and he tightened his grip on the mandarin-duck purse hidden in his sleeve. When he returned, he tore up the memorial requesting that the engagement be annulled. Unexpectedly, the next day, word came that Su Lingling had asked the Wei Emperor to annul the engagement. Zhao Xuan: "..." - Wei Emperor: "My dear subject, the letter breaking off the engagement was written by Miss Su herself. What do you think?" Zhao Xuan narrowed his eyes, then said, "I will marry no one but her in this life. I beg Your Majesty to grant my wish." The Wei Emperor clapped and laughed. "Excellent! Then I'll arrange your marriage myself. You two are a match made in heaven." When Su Lingling heard, she trembled. "Is it too late to apologize?" 1.
