Chapter 59: The Proposal

Amid the swirling politics of the court, Lin Yuer is presented with a bold proposal. A high-ranking official, Lord Xian, suggests that she consider a political marriage—something that would secure her place in the nobility and provide her with further protection against her enemies. The marriage, however, would be a strategic one, designed to strengthen her position in the court and align her with the most powerful families in the capital.

Lin Yuer is taken aback. She has always prided herself on her independence and has never seen marriage as a tool for political advancement. But Lord Xian's argument is compelling—marriage could provide her with the security she needs to continue her work without the constant threat of sabotage.

The idea of marriage as a political tool is something Lin Yuer has never considered, and she must wrestle with her personal feelings and her ambitions. She knows that the decision will define her future.
