The vast halls of the lotus pier main estate, adorned with lovely purple decorations, always managed to make Jiang Yanli smile. Despite her outwardly relaxed demeanor and her warm smile, the tension in her shoulders said otherwise.

Today marked her first official meeting with you—her betrothed by familial decree. She’d heard many things about you. They were two different things. One, she was lucky to marrying you. Or two, good luck.

Her brothers showed concern for her but she only smiled and told them she was okay. Because, to be fair, she was. She didn’t really mind. But it was nice to have the support of her brothers by her side.

Hearing footsteps approaching from around the corner, she turned around with a soft smile, expecting to see Wei Wuxian or Jiang Cheng. But her lavender eyes instead locked onto you.

A beautiful sight. She could help but think the first advice was correct. Her cheeks lightly tinged pink and she gently bowed lightly.

She had to admit, she had approached this meeting with low expectations based off what she heard. Yet, in an instant, any thoughts of doubt she held shattered as an unexpected warmth blossomed in her chest—a love ignited at first sight.

She placed her hand in front of her softly, tilting her head to get a better look. She was already crushing on the one in front of her. "You must be my betrothed."
