[Blurb One]
Sheng Fu first met Xie Jue when she was eight years old.
At the time, she was homeless, alone in Jiangnan in the middle of December.
As she lay on the brink of death, Xie Jue rushed all the way from the capital.
The snow could not hide the young gentleman's graceful bearing and extraordinary presence.
He took off his cloak and gently wrapped it around her freezing body.

Only later did she learn that Xie Jue had been her late uncle's closest friend.
Xie Jue took her back to the capital and raised her in place of her deceased uncle.
He taught her music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, showed her how to conduct herself, and gave her every comfort.
In the end, he personally arranged a marriage for her and prepared a lavish bridal procession, sending her off in grand style.
[Blurb Two]
Much later, Sheng Fu returned to the Duke's estate to bid Xie Jue farewell.
Seated high above, he still had a face as handsome as polished jade and wore white like fresh snow, living up to his reputation as the capital's finest gentleman.
He was simply much thinner now. He gazed down at her in silence for a long time, without saying a word.
Her eyes and brows brimmed with sweetness and happiness as she respectfully bowed to this elder of the family.
First, she apologized for having harbored improper feelings for Xie Jue back then. She had come to her senses and asked him to forgive her.
Second, she thanked him for all the care he had taken to find her a good husband. Young General Huo was indeed a perfect match. She had been happy every day since marrying him, and hoped her uncle would not worry.
Finally, she told Xie Jue that she had decided to head north with her husband to guard the frontier. She might never return to the capital for the rest of her life, and urged him to take good care of himself.
It was the moment he heard those words that Xie Jue suddenly went mad.
[Content Warnings]
Neither the female lead nor the male lead is a virgin.
That man Xie really did marry the female lead off. He has a good eye and picked his darling girl a husband who treats her like a queen.
