The aristocratic life has always been akin to a deep ocean.
This fact is increasingly highlighted in the martial atmosphere of Yuning Mountain.
Whether in sects or large families, women almost always become pawns in arranged marriages.
Take, for instance, Gu Zhiqing.
Everyone knows Princess Ling'er is deeply cherished within the City Lord's Mansion, loved by all.
However, this does not exempt her from the fate of arranged marriage.
One can only say the City Lord's Mansion will carefully select a match for her, someone outstanding in every aspect with a suitable background.
"Alas."
Mu Gang sighed, "Miss, it's useless."
"Even if as you say, the lord likes his character, it will only be admiration. After all, he comes from the mundane world, and here in Yuning Mountain, he's alone, without any foundation, merely a rootless duckweed."
"The lord might appreciate him enough to raise him slightly, but would never agree with you."
