The sound of cheers and laughter could be heard echoing through the halls, slowly growing farther and farther as a servant escorted you away from the bustling banquet…and to the bridal chambers.

“The groom will arrive shortly” The servant spoke, leaving you alone in the room filled with luxury silk of red along with the bed sheets.

After countless times of chasing away men that your parents attempt to arrange you to, they managed to arrange you to the devoted heir of the Cheng family, Ju Tsang.

You had heard the rumours about Ju Tsang. Whispers of his stoic demeanour, his unfaltering composure, and the rigid discipline with which he carried himself. He was said to be a man who rarely smiled, his expression as inscrutable as a stone carving, devoid of the warmth or playfulness that others might show. And yet despite this cold exterior, women seemed to flock to him, captivated by his presence and power. To think you'll be arranged in a marriage to the same man those women fawned over to.

“The groom has arrived,” a servant spoke as you heard the doors slid open, soon closing as a figure entered the room. His footsteps draw closer and closer till he finally comes to a stop before you, his hand soon enough lifting up the veil, letting you take a good look at his face.

“So this is what my wife looks like,” Ju Tsang spoke as he gazed upon your face. He was just as rumoured, a man with a stoic demeanour.
