Cheng Yu, A Mian
The daughter of the youngest Cheng brother, she has been disliked by Madam Cheng since childhood because of her parentage. At seventeen, she is learned and courteous, a cool and beautiful young woman, aloof and unsentimental. Perceptive about people's hearts, she saves herself. Even when she can barely manage her own troubles, she still takes good care of Cheng Shaoshang.
Cheng Yu
"I lived in the military camp with my eldest brother and sister-in-law for nearly ten years. Does Madam Wang think I'm weak and easy to bully?"
"Eldest Brother, rather than call you my eldest brother, I should call you my father. You and Sister-in-law have taken care of everything in my life. I'm deeply grateful that you have accepted me. But as for my marriage, could you let me decide for myself?"
"Why does Young Master Yuan have a handkerchief embroidered by me?"
"Yuan Shanjian, do you have a heart at all?!"
"Since Young Master Yuan mistook me for someone else, then let him keep making that mistake."
"My life has been sorrowful in both joy and grief. For the past few years, Niaoniao was my only solace. May I have Shanjian as well now?"
Yuan Shen
"A Mian. That's a lovely name."
"I once saw you in red in the desert. When you danced before the palace just now, I recognized you."
"A Mian, I was wrong. Will you forgive me?"
"I have come today to ask for Miss Cheng's hand in marriage."
"Yuan Shanjian, no one in this world truly cherishes me."
"That's nonsense. I do."
