Shen Hua, the daughter of the Shen family that ran an embroidery business in Fengzhou, was pampered since she was a child. She had a pretty face and smooth, fair skin. Unfortunately, her body was weak, and she'd run out of breath after walking merely a few steps. She didn't have very long to live.

The Shen family gradually faced its downfall, and her wedding was delayed again and again.

Cui Yun, the eldest son of the Cui family, was a noble and stern man. He was entrusted to look after Shen Hua. Why not just marry her? He thought.

Since Shen Hua reincarnated, she had focused all her attention on the embroidery business. She hoped to change her life and regain her former glory.

When she heard about Cui Yun's decision to marry her, she fainted on the spot.

After waking up, she turned him down with tears in her eyes. "I don't have very long to live. I don't want to waste your time."

Cui Yun was very considerate. "It's not a big deal. I know you feel touched, but there's no need to cry. Since you already depend on the Cui family, you might as well just become part of us. After you die from your sickness, I'll even hold a grand funeral for you."

Shen Hua felt hopeless. But I'm only pretending to be sick!
***
Cui Yun had many younger female cousins.

Many of them had confessed their feelings for him, but he turned all of them down nonchalantly.

"It's getting late. Please look after yourself."

Shen Hua had never met such a clueless man when it came to romance.

One night, while she was on her way home, she took a shortcut and passed by the Cui family's courtyard. Cui Yun stopped her.

He was standing near the entrance, and his sleeves danced to the wind.

"It's cold outside. Would you like to come in and stay for a while?"

Shen Hua no longer troubles her, and after succeeding, slowly withdraws her hand: "It will take some time for the Turkic envoy to arrive in Shengjing, and their stay might be even longer. Let's see. A fine princess, not staying in her own territory, what could it be if not a marriage alliance?"


Securing a marriage alliance after the Qin and Jin states is more important than the diplomatic relations between the two countries. The Turkic sending their most favored princess clearly shows their sincerity.


And there are many benefits to a marriage alliance.


Soldiers weary from warfare, the two countries speaking peace, the people will no longer be displaced, and there will be no more smoke of gunpowder.


Shen Hua: "Among the princes in the palace, there's only the Second Prince, Third Prince, and Seventh Prince who are not yet married."
