Will only start after I finish Seventeen Days!
The current great general of Dingguo dies in the snowstorm at Suzhou. His only daughter, born into a military family, is sheltered by her maternal aunt and finally comes through safely.
The emperor is enraged and dispatches hundreds of soldiers to investigate the calamity that befell General Chi and his wife.
To make amends to the orphaned daughter of the Chi family and honor her parents’ service, he grants her a fortune and special privileges.
And, in particular, an arranged marriage.
She is to marry the Marquis of Cheng, receive a noblewoman’s title, and be husband and wife in harmony, sharing hardship and happiness, to reassure the people and strengthen the nation.
The Marquis of Cheng is young. At fifteen, he established his own household and took charge of the twelve divisions of the Censorate. He alone holds the emperor’s authority and stands above the masses. Even among the imperial relatives and nobles, his status is exceptionally high.
He has overseen the Censorate for over two years. A student of Song, a founding hero of the nation and Censor-in-Chief, he has solved several cases for the country and its people, and is charged with investigating matters of great importance.
The emperor, recognizing his promise at such a young age, specially arranges a marriage for him to the daughter of the General Who Guards the Nation, Chi.
The marriage is celebrated, and the people rejoice together.
Some say that the daughter of the Chi family has lost both parents and has no one to rely on, while the young Marquis of Cheng lost his father early, and his mother is ill. The burden on his shoulders is heavy.
The marriage of these two extraordinary young people is only so that they may have someone to rely on and support each other.
Yet no one knows that although the Marquis of Cheng is cold-faced, serious, and never jokes around, in private he cherishes his wife beyond measure, valuing the daughter of the Chi family more than his own life.
Nor do they know that though the daughter of the Chi family is gentle by nature, she has courage and tenacity in her blood, and is always the first to protect her husband.
The two young people search for the truth in a prosperous age, and stand firm as they pursue it, supporting and understanding one another.
