Everyone knew Chu Yunluo, the An Kingdom Prince's "legitimate eldest son," for her excellent martial arts, literary talent, and striking looks. She was the future son-in-law North Liang's Emperor Bei Yexu had already chosen for himself.

However, when Chu Yunluo was twelve, she suffered an accidental injury to "that part" while learning to ride a horse. She became the laughingstock of Kyoto's noble circles, with Su Jintang, the Grand Preceptor Su's legitimate daughter, mocking and ridiculing her most harshly. From then on, Chu Yunluo fell into a slump. The An Kingdom Prince watched with anger in his heart. In a fit of fury, he decided that if his own family was going to suffer, the Su family wouldn't get off easy either. He asked the emperor to arrange a marriage with a daughter of the Su family, and the emperor, mindful of the prince's many years of service, agreed.

Su Jintang knew about Chu Yunluo's "hidden ailment." She cried and protested to her father, Su Size, insisting she would rather die than marry Chu Yunluo. Her father doted on his legitimate daughter, so the two of them turned their eyes to the eldest daughter born of a concubine, Su Jinrou, who was sweeping the courtyard outside.

Just because her mother was a concubine, she had to take Su Jintang's place and marry into that family. It was all the same to her: she'd be bullied in a different place, and that made little difference!

But things didn't turn out that way. As she spent time with Chu Yunluo after their marriage, "he" carefully observed her preferences. Whenever they visited the Su residence to see her mother and Chu Yunluo saw Su Jintang bullying her, "he" would stand up for her. When "he" found out she loved hibiscus cakes most, Chu Yunluo even deigned to seek out a teacher to learn how to make them, then came home and made them for her. Chu Yunluo... was truly wonderful.

By chance, Su Jinrou discovered that Chu Yunluo was actually a woman. After struggling with the revelation, she decided it didn't matter. It was enough that Chu Yunluo treated her well.

Outsiders said that ever since her injury, Chu Yunluo had become terribly violent, beating or cursing people at the slightest provocation. That wasn't true.

Outsiders said Chu Yunluo had a "hidden ailment." Su Jinrou rubbed her aching waist in indignation. Who said that? They deserved to have their mouth torn apart.

And outsiders said...

Leaning against her "husband," Su Jinrou thought, why care about what outsiders say? A "husband" who truly cherishes her is a rare treasure, hard to come by!
