The news that Xiao Jinsen, the good-for-nothing daughter who supposedly killed her own father, was looking for a live-in son-in-law for the Xiao family sent rumors flying everywhere.
At first, someone started the rumor that Xiao Jinsen sleepwalked, was lazy, had a bad temper, and was ugly.
Before long, everyone believed that Xiao Jinsen was a spoiled, unruly, arrogant good-for-nothing, the worst of the worst.
But what did a bad reputation matter?
The only daughter of the richest family, with a fortune at her back, she had the entrance to the Xiao estate packed to capacity before dawn on the day she was to choose a husband.
Everyone from those of marriageable age to sixteen-year-old boys was waiting to be chosen.
That day, Xiao Jinsen dressed to the nines, graceful and lovely, her starry eyes sparkling as she moved like a startled swan.
The rumors were shattered in an instant. Everyone said that whoever married Xiao Jinsen would be luckier than a man who married the princess herself.
The competition for the position of son-in-law grew even fiercer. Standing on a high platform, Xiao Jinsen cleared her throat and announced that the trials would begin in seven days.
Everyone understood.
Hoping to win the beauty and her immense fortune, even illiterate country bumpkins picked up copies of the Book of Songs and swayed their heads as they read.
But on the day of the competition, the Xiao family's servants cleared the arena and laid out weapons. After three drumbeats, the martial arts contest began.
While the contestants fought fiercely outside the gates, Xiao Jinsen, dressed as a man, was stopped by her frail friend just inside.
Beiyan An wore fine silk robes, his black hair like ink. He no longer called Xiao Jinsen "Brother Gu." Instead, with warm eyes and a smiling mouth, he said, "Since our Jinsen is looking for a husband, could your big brother cut in line?"
