The Frost Creek is cold, the Moon Creek bright.
The legitimate daughter of the Li family, Li Chuxi, whose father serves as Vice Director of the Secretariat, lost her mother at a young age. Her kind grandmother tried repeatedly to arrange a marriage for her, only for the engagements to be broken off one after another. In the imperial capital, people often criticized her for her bewitching beauty and voluptuous figure.
Her father considered her a disgrace to the family and was about to send her away to the family estate when his superior, the illustrious Director of the Secretariat Lu Qingyun, arrived with a matchmaker. He bluntly declared that he wished to marry the legitimate daughter of the house. The news shocked the entire capital, while Li Chuxi could only lower her head in embarrassment.
Lu Qingyun was a breath of fresh air in the imperial capital. Born into a declining family, he had come first in all three rounds of the imperial examinations in his youth. Exceptionally talented, he was now only twenty-seven and already a third-rank Director of the Secretariat.
More importantly, he was handsome and refined, bright as a full moon, and as gentle as a spring breeze. Unfortunately, even when families had once tried to claim him as a son-in-law after the examination results were posted, he had shown no interest in any young lady. After matchmakers had called on him for years, they gradually gave up hope.
And yet now this official had approached a matchmaker himself, offering the full array of betrothal gifts and formalities for the sake of marrying the Li family's daughter, whose engagement had been broken off several times. Every courtesy was observed, and not a single detail was overlooked...
