Everyone in the Hua family of Lin'an had not expected that despite all the twists and turns, Hua Yan and Yun Chi would return to where they began. What was different this time was that it was not a marriage bestowed by the benevolent order of the Empress Dowager, nor by the sacred decree of the Emperor, but instead, Yun Chi came bearing a dowry of five hundred betrothal gifts, personally visiting to ask for her hand in marriage.
Throughout history, there had never been an occurrence of the Crown Prince personally visiting to propose marriage, nor a dowry that did not conform to the regulations, such as the five hundred betrothal gifts.
Although for the Hua family, five hundred betrothal gifts accounted for little, for Yun Chi's status, to be able to offer Hua Yan such an astonishing marriage proposal was indeed very shocking and stirring.
