She wore a crimson wedding gown, the brilliant red a mere contrast against her snowy skin.
In her budding beauty, the young lady was sitting upright within the sedan chair, the exceptional calmness unexpectedly very cute.
The man in military uniform, sitting on the horse, was dazzled for a moment
【Ding, the male lead’s favourability is at 0.】
He pursed his thin lips, wrinkled his brows, and abruptly hid the absent look in his eyes.
Then as the spurs on his boots touched the horse, the horse let out a whine and turned around, facing away from Bai Weiwei, taking a few steps forward.
The man ignored Bai Weiwei, speaking loudly to the crowd: “Blind and dumb marriages are absolutely not permitted. Notices have already been put up around the city about the freedom to marry as well as the ability to file for divorce. From today onwards, arranged marriages are totally punishable.”
With that, the man used his whip viscously and smashed the red lantern by the door.
Then he coldy ordered, “Tear down the wedding hall for Laozi.”
Bai Weiwei gained a slight headache as the memories rushed back in a torrent.
This time, it’s the Republic of China.
It could then be said to be similar to the current era.
In this time period, the feudal system has just ended.
Warlords fought everywhere, and most learned of the Western knowledge.
And among them, the military faction with the most power and largest army, is the Fu family.
The Fu family had a special status. For generations, their family served as officials and yet at the same time, they secretly carried out business.
With the arrival of their last generation, they immediately turned, being the first rebels to rise up.
They grabbed hold and occupied the authority in the North.
And within the Fu family’s new generation the leader is of course, no one else but Fu Beizhe.
Also referred to as the Death Defying Marshal Fu.
At a young age, he has killed innumerable enemies. Making people shudder, he is also known as the God Of Killing on the battlefields.
Moreover, he's intelligent.
In his hand, he holds the military power as well as the great wealth accumulated by the Fu family, allowing him to navigate the troubled world with the ease of an emperor.
Marshal Fu wiped out the enemy on the battlefield.
As a result, he was notified by his family to return and get married.
Before the end of the previous generations rule, the Fu family had arranged a child betrothal with the Bai family.
The Bai family is the last aristocratic family which served as officials.
At that time, the Fu family also considered both families to be well matched, and wanted to maintain the profitable relationship.
So, the elders of the family made the decision to fix down a marriage.
But then the troubling times arrived and the Bai family declined, the family died, and also exiled.
In the end, surprisingly, there was only Weiwei Bai left, with a few old women who were waiting upon her.
And Bai Weiwei survived safely purely because she bore the marriage of the Fu family.
She had just come of age.
The elders of the Fu family started preparations for marriage, with the intent of letting Fu Beizhe marry Bai Weiwei.
The Fu family elders thought they could control Fu Beizhe.
Even if Marshal Fu was powerful, his roots are still in the Fu family.
So whatever the elders wanted him to do, he definitely had to do.
But how can Fu Beizhe, who is accustomed to behaving unscrupulously and having freedom, while unable to tolerate others making decisions, be forced to get married?
From the start, he has never met Bai Weiwei at all.
This kind of arranged marriage simply made him furious on the spot.
So Fu Beizhe brought his own personal troops back from the battlefield.
On the day of the wedding, notices were posted across the city.
Everyone should have freedom of marriage while punishing those who commit the offence of arranged marriages.
This slap directly broke the faces of the Fu family elders.
It was also announced to everyone that Fu Beizhe is now in charge of the Fu family.
Not some feudalistic old men.
And Bai Weiwei was a victim of the transfer of power between the old and new in the Fu family.
She was also used as the chicken which was killed to warn the monkey, meaning an example for others.
Bai Weiwei looked at the zero favourability, not feeling an ounce of happiness.
Who has good feelings for a chicken.
There’s bound to be no negative feelings either.
Because he has no feelings for her at all, ah.
Sitting in the bridal sedan chair, Bai Weiwei finally knew what kind of identity she held.
