A Splendid Match

Others may not know, but I do.

Your mother was murdered.

Do you have any idea what you're doing? You, the heir of a marquisate,

With so many eyes watching, how improper is this conduct!

I truly regret it. I should never have softened my heart and brought you here.

to give up on Gu Jinzhao.

Even if that's true, I'm doing this for your own good and for the marquisate.

Do you think I want to be the one to tear you apart?

If I had known you would treat yourself like this,

I know what you are thinking. You are overthinking it.

Back then, everyone said my heart condition was severe and I wouldn't live past ten.

But you still saved me, didn't you?

I don't believe that military merit is the only way to stand firm.
