The empire's youngest and most promising marshal brought home a palm-sized giant panda and raised her with loving care until she came of age.
As an adult, Ruan Tuantuan took human form, sweet and adorable.
Shi Yan knew he was born for the empire and devoted to the battlefield. Unable to give her a peaceful life, he was determined to marry her off and began finding suitors for her.
But he never expected the panda Tuantuan to be so popular.
The rich second-generation suitor: "I'm loaded. Tuantuan, choose me!"
The military family's second-generation suitor: "I'm a top student. Tuantuan, choose me!"
The champion athlete: "I'm in amazing shape. Tuantuan, choose me!"
The superstar suitor: "Everyone loves me. Tuantuan, look my way."
The research genius: "I've named all my research after you. Tuantuan, choose me."
The insectoid big shot: "Tuantuan, I've always loved you."
The imperial prince: "Tuantuan, you're all I want."
But none of the seven suitors satisfied the marshal. They were shorter than him, poorer than him, less caring than him, and less devoted than him. Not one of them could beat him in a fight, either.
The marshal had planned to find another suitor, but on the day he returned from battle, he saw her standing in the sunlight, sweetly calling out, "Marshal."
In that instant, the marshal was consumed with regret.
