Chapitre 293: Chapter 274, Degrees of Kinship_1

Daohua had always been reluctant to marry.

Even though she had lived in ancient times for twelve years and had grown accustomed to the rules of the era, there were still some concepts she found unacceptable.

Ancient marriage customs emphasized parental authority and the matchmaker's words, valuing the alignment of social status and family interests above all, with little to no concern for the affections between the man and woman involved.

Many people got married without even having seen each other's face.

The very thought of living the majority of her life with a complete stranger made Daohua shiver uncontrollably.

In these ancient times, families who were slightly indulgent towards their children would, at most, allow the prospective bride and groom to meet during the matchmaking process. Daohua's desire for shared values, temperament, and mutual understanding was nothing short of a daytime fantasy.
