(A Young Playboy Nobleman vs. a Frail Beauty with a Short Lifespan)
Everyone in the capital knew that Shen Jinghong, the legitimate son of the Zhenbei General’s Manor, was an unruly young dandy.
He spent his days cockfighting and hunting with hounds, speaking without restraint. One day, drunk in a teahouse, he boasted:
“That sickly young lady from the Grand Tutor’s family? If someone marries her, she won’t live more than three years.”
His words caused such an uproar that General Shen himself had to personally drag his son to the Grand Tutor’s residence to apologize.
As for Fu Yunyang, the eldest daughter of the Grand Tutor’s household, she was said to be frail and chronically ill, with little time left to live. She rarely left her home.
Everyone assumed that any possibility of a marriage between the two families was completely hopeless.
What no one expected was that, after a single glimpse of her in Peach Blossom Cove, the very same young man who had repeatedly declared, “I don’t want a sickly girl!” would lose his heart entirely.
Later, when the Northern Di tribes invaded the border, Shen Jinghong accompanied his father on a military campaign.
Back in the capital, rumors swirled…
