A cold, inscrutable young general x a silly, delicate beauty
(The next story in the series. If you're reading this, please add it to your favorites =3=)
(Title to be changed, but the core of the blurb will stay the same.)
He You was a concubine-born daughter of the Duke's household. Her mother died in childbirth, and when He You was born, a master diviner declared that she was "born under an ill omen." She was sent to the countryside to be raised by a village family.
It wasn't until He You was thirteen that the Duke's household brought her back, so she could bring good fortune to her grandmother.
Although He You lived in the Duke's household, she missed the patch of medicinal herbs back home, her kind adoptive parents, and the friends who splashed through streams and climbed trees with her. She always hoped that one day she could leave the Duke's household and return to that little mountain village.
One day, her father called He You over and asked suspiciously, "Do you know General Shaoqing?"
He You answered honestly, "I don't."
She didn't know him, though she had a vague impression that he was the person her eldest sister, He Yining, liked best.
Her father continued, "General Shaoqing has specifically asked to marry you. The imperial decree for your marriage is already on its way."
He You: "???"
Ever since she learned she would marry General Shaoqing, Wen Yan, He You had been on edge all day.
They said General Shaoqing had a bearing all his own and an extremely cold disposition. He was famous for keeping women at a distance, and hated it when women threw themselves at him.
Everyone in the capital was waiting to see He You make a fool of herself, convinced it wouldn't be long before she was thrown out.
But at a hairpin flower banquet one day, the young ladies clearly saw the usually cold Wen Yan take off his cloak and wrap it around He You:
"It's windy today. Be careful not to catch a chill."
"Be good. I'll give you whatever reward you want."
