The Sixth Young Lady of the Zhaoping Marquis's residence is frail, and the youngest daughter beneath the marquis's roof. Her father, brothers, and elder sisters dote on her so much that even their best efforts leave them feeling they have not treated their precious girl well enough.
Wen Yu has a face as lovely as a hibiscus and a lively disposition. Since childhood, she and the young heir of Prince Xuan's residence have never gotten along. The unruly, arrogant young heir often makes the little girl cry, and she always returns home to complain.
As she grew older, Wen Yu began to keep her distance from him, abiding by the principle that men and women should keep apart.
.
Later, the young man distinguished himself in battle. After returning to the capital in triumph, he stood in front of the Wen family's carriage, blocking its way, his eyes dark.
He curled his lips and drawled lazily, "Xiao Yu, why are you avoiding me?"
Wen Yu lifted the carriage curtain and looked at him, raising her chin slightly. Her eyes were filled with haughty pride. "Beg me, and I might consider making up with you."
Su Xian lifted his eyelids slightly, a smile playing at his lips. "Making up isn't what I want."

Su Xian, the heir of Prince Xuan, was born to a distinguished family and had a bright future ahead of him. He was the ideal husband for countless noble young ladies in the capital.
At the victory banquet, the emperor personally asked about his marriage. The noble young ladies dressed themselves in their finest and watched expectantly, all hoping to marry the young general, whose bearing was extraordinary and who had earned great military honors.
Who could have guessed that this favored son of heaven would smile carelessly and say, "I admire Sixth Miss Wen. I ask Your Majesty to grant us a marriage."
At those words, his father, Prince Xuan, was stunned. His maternal uncle, the emperor, was stunned. Wen Yu herself was stunned too. The whole hall fell silent.
Was he talking about the very Sixth Miss Wen who was bedridden with a lingering illness, plagued by ailments, and out of breath after just a few steps?
After the initial shock, the emperor granted the marriage on the spot. Wen Yu stepped forward in a red dress to pay her respects. Her ethereal beauty was so stunning that her face alone outshone everyone in the hall.
The young man was cool and aloof, the young lady delicate and frail. They were such a perfect match that no one could bring themselves to voice their doubts, and the emperor even praised them as "a match made in heaven."
.
At first, no one thought much of this marriage. The noble young ladies who admired Su Xian all waited viciously for Sixth Miss Wen of the Wen family to succumb to her illness and die, so the engagement would come to an end on its own.
Later, not only did the two marry without a hitch, but the usually arrogant and free-spirited heir willingly bowed his head to her. In full view of everyone, he coaxed her in the gentlest of voices, making others green with envy.
Wen Yu, once a sickly girl, was cared for until not a trace of listlessness remained. The noble young ladies were heartbroken and finally gave up, marrying other people.
