It was autumn. Last petals of the Plum trees - or any tree at that matter - were being stampeded to a soup of purple and pink as the preparations for the wedding of his highness, Zhang YaYun, and the rightful male empress, Lan QingYu, were in full swing.
The wedding took pains to orchestrate for... various reasons that all were most definitely Mang XueYa's fault. No questions about it. None.
After YaYun woke up, disoriented and feeling and looking absolutely like shit, his feet too wobbly to stand on, he was informed of being married to She LiangLin; he had killed the emperor of Jin, his concubine-to-be, Yating, had run away with a guard, and suddenly he had now a furious, very murderous madam She waiting for him by the gates with a weather and life beaten master She, trying to break in through walls to maim his highness for marrying her precious and only son, LiangLin.
