A Touch of Spring

The Yong'an Marquis Estate has a young lady who is a legitimate daughter of the main branch of the Cui clan of Qinghuai.

She adored the splendor of Shengjing, so she took up long-term residence at the Yong'an Marquis Estate.

Every year, the Cui clan gives the marquis estate ten thousand taels of gold to cover the young lady's daily expenses.

Miss Cui is breathtakingly beautiful, with a graceful figure and a complexion fair as snow. Every frown and smile of hers is captivating.

Everyone agrees that a beauty like her deserves a handsome young gentleman worthy of Shengjing's splendor.

And on top of that, she's incredibly rich.

So, as soon as she turned fifteen, matchmakers began beating down the door.

From marquises and princes to officials as low-ranking as fifth grade, any family with a son of marriageable age made a trip to the Yong'an Marquis Estate.

There were simply too many people seeking a match for her, so the matchmaker put together a booklet.

It was filled with portraits of young gentlemen, along with detailed information about their family backgrounds, ages, talents, character, interests, and hobbies.

In the rear courtyard of the marquis estate, Cui Wanyin lounged languidly on a chaise longue, flipping through the booklet and chatting away with her maid.

“This one is all slicked hair and makeup. He doesn't look very imposing.”

“This one is so average-looking. That won't do!”

“This one looks so frail, as if he couldn't even hold a chicken down.”

Maid: Miss, are we really looking at the same booklet?

Then Cui Wanyin suddenly turned to a portrait someone had slipped into the booklet for their own reasons.

Her eyes lit up. “Oh, this one's perfect!”

The man in the portrait was powerfully built, with resolute features and shoulders nearly twice as broad as hers.

His name was listed as Yue Qian, General Who Guards the West.

Yue Qian had spent eight years pacifying the western frontier, and this year he returned to the capital in triumph.

With no wars on the horizon, he planned to retire in Shengjing.

Then, one day, a matchmaker suddenly came to his door and told him that the young lady of the Yong'an Marquis Estate had taken a fancy to him.

Yue Qian was baffled and firmly declined. “Thank you, but I won't marry her.”

Much later...

General Yue was groveling at home every day, chasing after his petite, darling wife.

“I was blind back then, Yinyin. Don't be mad. How many bows do you want to tie on me today?”

“Should I dance with my sword for you again?”

“Or would you like to see my abs, your favorite?”

Cui Wanyin finally stopped and, blushing furiously, cried out, “Yue Qian! Who said you could strip right here?!”
