The Jade Pendant and the Bridal Robe

During the Ming'an era, imperial power is in decline, while powerful ministers and great clans rule the land. Various factions are watching like tigers waiting to pounce.

Fu Sui'an was born into a warlord family in Youzhou, known as the Fu clan of Wangbei.

She and her brother, Fu You'an, were twins.

For the crown prince's coming-of-age ceremony, the clans from every region were invited to the capital to pay their respects. Just then, Fu You'an was poisoned, so Fu Sui'an decided to disguise herself as a man and take his place at the banquet in the capital.

Fu You'an was so worried that he repeatedly warned her and sent a trusted aide along. At last, his sister returned home safely from the capital.

But the invitations that arrived one after another kept him awake at night.

The warlord who ruled Liangzhou.

The powerful minister who held all the power.

The refined, resourceful young master from a distinguished family.

These influential men, each ruling their own domain, sent invitations hinting that Youzhou bore the signs of a heaven-sent ruler. They were willing to make the eldest son of the Fu family the new chosen one, but they each wanted just one thing: the Fu family's wedding dress.

What made the dress so rare was the jade pendant on it. When the Fu family's ancestors fought alongside the founding emperor to conquer the land, the former emperor bestowed the pendant upon them. The jade came from the same source as the imperial seal.

The pendant and wedding dress were family heirlooms. There was no way they could be given away. More importantly, Youzhou could not be allowed to promise that it bore the signs of a heaven-sent ruler.

Before Fu You'an could send out his letter of refusal, those men came to Youzhou in person...

At the banquet, Fu You'an saw the powerful men nearly tugging at one another's jade crowns. In unison, they turned to Fu Sui'an and demanded, "That ancestral wedding dress of yours. Whose measurements are you going to alter it to fit, and who are you going to let through the gates of the Fu family?"

Fu You'an was utterly shocked: ?! So you want the dress so you can wear it yourselves, marry my sister, and join the Fu family?!

Fu Sui'an scratched her head: What are you all imagining? Obviously my future sister-in-law will wear that dress.

--I'll help you end this chaotic age. May you live a hundred years without worries, year after year, with me by your side.
