When he grew up, his family wanted him to settle down, so they arranged a marriage for him. The young lady was the eldest daughter of Duke Chen, named Chen Ruoli—a well-bred, virtuous, and refined young woman.
Qin Hu, while vicious and cruel to others, was absolutely submissive to this beautiful fiancée, holding her as dear as his own life. Yet, it was this very childhood sweetheart who became his undoing.
