She Is Hard to Refuse

A month ago, when people spoke of Jiang Weiyun, they would say she had suffered one misfortune after another.

She had been betrothed to the First Prince since childhood, yet he had not lived past the age of five.

She was the Chancellor's daughter, but had been forced to grow up far from home. She was only able to return to the capital at eighteen, and barely three months after her return, trouble struck the Jiang family again.

Yet in just one short month, the case against the Jiang family was solved, the First Prince came back from the dead, and Jiang Weiyun was supposed to get ready to become his consort.

But Jiang Weiyun was unwilling. Rather than marry, she wanted to become the bearer of the Divine Jade. Men would only disturb her path to cultivation.

Shen Yan was unwilling too, because he liked Jiang Weiyun.

When Jiang Weiyun refused the First Prince, he demanded, "Is it because of Shen Yan?"

Anyone with eyes could see that Shen Yan was always lingering by her side, and his intentions were obvious.

Jiang Weiyun immediately denied it. She and Shen Yan were close friends who had traveled together in search of the Divine Jade. There was not the slightest hint of romance between them.

Later, a mutual friend tactfully reminded Jiang Weiyun that Shen Yan had been in love with her for ages.

Jiang Weiyun's eyes widened. How could Shen Yan possibly like her? They were close friends!

It was only when Shen Yan held out his family heirloom jade pendant to her that Jiang Weiyun understood everyone had been telling the truth.

"But aren't we close friends...?"

Shen Yan: "Since we're close friends, would you marry me?"
