This became an even more important matter after the scandal regarding General Long Zhao Xue's unlikely imposter leaked out. Such a young, handsome, and able General must not stay single!
While He Li Wei practiced and studied hard for the competition, Old General He discreetly started to look around for some prospective partners for his son. This prospective partner had to be a learned, virtuous, and also filial woman of impeccable personality and comparable family status. Additionally, military families always liked to marry their children to each other because the family members understood each other better.
Otherwise, how annoying would it be to have the wife nag about her husband going to war almost every month and staying away for weeks, sometimes months?
The news that Song Chun Ya had remained pure throughout her marriage with Long Zhao Xue's impostor spread like wildfire just one day after said impostor was demoted from his position.
