After passing the xiucai exam, Pei Yan came to break off our engagement. My brother pointed at him and cursed, "You ungrateful Pei Yan! You've barely passed the xiucai exam, and already you think you're too good for my sister. A lucky woman shouldn't marry into an unlucky family. Fine, our A Rui won't marry you!" After that, my brother said he would find me the most prestigious marriage possible. Then he married me off to a lecher who was twenty years older than me and didn't even own a house or a plot of land. I felt like I'd been cursed with the worst luck imaginable.
