[A calculating young lady of the inner chambers x a chief minister devoted to the people]
[Living under someone else's roof + marriage before love]
As a girl, Xue Jingjiao once stayed at the Duke's residence, where she endured a miserable life.
At long last, she returned home and was pampered and cherished for two years.
Then an imperial edict arrived, betrothing her, just after her fifteenth birthday, to Cui Song, the legitimate son of the Duke's family.
That is, her cousin, whom she barely knew.
He was also the person she'd feared most while staying at the estate.
One-on-one, both chaste, happy ending.
Theme: As Heaven's movement is ever vigorous, so should a gentleman ceaselessly strive for self-improvement.
