After all, first, being with him is almost like living as a widow; when she really needed him, he might not be there. Second, due to the special nature of Feng Ziheng's troops, she had to be constantly on tenterhooks, fearing she might actually end up as a widow.
For a girl who had just graduated and hadn't thought much about the future, these two points made for a very difficult choice.
Could this intangible existence called love really keep someone steadfast in their loneliness until the end of their life?
Chu Liangxia had chosen to "marry" Feng Ziheng because of various pressures and later found that this man was quite good, very suitable as a partner, and fortunately, the feeling was mutual, so they ended up "acting out the show for real." One could say she was pushed into it, with not many chances to make a free choice.
What if that person hadn't been Feng Ziheng?
She certainly wouldn't have gotten to where she was now.
