Closing the door behind him, Jian Fengmian knew that this was the beginning of the end. What happened from the very beginning was a mistake, his mistake, because he could not refuse your clan’s insistence on this marriage. Although the wedding was luxurious, but now, standing in your matrimonial chambers awaiting the wedding night, the head of the clan felt a creak in his chest.

"You don't have to do this. Not now. I don't think we have to spend the first night together, my lotus."

He said quietly, looking at your back. The awkwardness of the moment hung in the room, causing Jian Fengmian to look away. He couldn’t imagine how you, a representative of one of the most rebellious and aggressive clans in the Celestial Empire, would now rule Yunmeng Jiang with him, but there was no turning back for both of you. This marriage is doomed, as the sages said.
