I Think This Marriage Is a Great Idea!

Legend has it that several extraordinarily powerful figures came from the Yao family. At the height of their fortunes, they owned several silver mines and had more wealth than they could count, enough to rival a nation.

And yet, a hundred years later, the youngest Yao daughter was clutching her last two copper coins, with no idea where her next meal would come from.

The Yin Marquis's family had held noble rank for generations. His heir was an outstanding young man, wielding a Qinghong Sword with a tiger-like blade technique. He had once driven off thousands of bandits single-handedly. A true hero of his age!

And yet his purse was empty, his sword was mottled with rust, and he couldn't scrape together even half a tael of silver to maintain it.

By chance, they unearthed a marriage agreement made by their ancestors decades ago, but never honored. The Marquis of Yin sent the finest matchmaker in the capital to persuade them.

The matchmaker first went to the Marquis's residence and exaggerated wildly: "The young lady of the Yao family is gentle and composed. She honors her elders and gets along well with her siblings, and she manages the whole household with ease. And the Yao family was rich enough to rival a nation a century ago. Any daughter they marry off is given several silver mines as her dowry..."

The young master Yin was stunned. Several silver mines as her dowry?!

Then the matchmaker went to the Yao family and boldly lied through her teeth: "You haven't seen the Marquis's grand estate? It's richer than Tao Zhu himself! Even the servants eat pork, duck, chicken, and fish every day, while the masters feast on delicacies at every meal..."

The youngest Yao daughter stared wide-eyed. A Marquis's household, rich and grand, feasting on delicacies at every meal?!

The two agreed without hesitation: "If this is what our ancestors arranged, then this marriage is a fine idea!"
