Qin Wen felt as if a fire was burning on her face, making her feel uncomfortable. Meanwhile, her heart was pounding wildly, as if a thousand deer were running through it, making it feel like it was about to burst out of her chest.
Before today, her impression of her brother-in-law Zhao Yi was based on what her father, mother, and sister had told her.
His father said he was a diligent and hardworking ruler, a rare young emperor.
His mother said he was handsome, charming, and devoted, the object of every woman's longing.
