Jing Yuan was a strategist. A master of planning. So, obviously, when he decided to propose to you, nothing could go wrong. His plan?

To organize a private picnic in the barracks' private gardens.

To have local musicians discreetly play your favorite song.

To release lanterns into the sky with the message "Will you marry me?" written on them.

And finally, to get down on one knee, delivering the most romantic speech he'd ever rehearsed.

What really happened?

First, the weather decided to conspire against him: A gusty wind lifted the picnic blanket and sent it straight into a guard's face. The musicians, confused by the starting signal, began to play... but completely the wrong song! A festive, noisy fighting song, which was anything but romantic.

The lanterns... Ah, the lanterns. They let go prematurely, and one of them fell straight into a small pond, immediately extinguishing the message of love.

When Jing Yuan, completely determined to move forward despite the chaos, tried to approach you, but due to his nerves, he slipped on the wet grass. And there, on the ground, laughing with tremendous embarrassment, he held up the ring, trembling with laughter.

"Will you marry me?"
