It was not until he returned to Beijing from the border that she managed to hold herself together, but by then she had already been granted marriage.
It was only later that he remembered that when he came back that year, she was pale and so thin that she was almost unrecognizable.
But at that time he was immersed in the grief of the death of his father and uncle and the defeat in the war, and did not try to find out the reasons behind it.
Even when he learned that she was going to marry someone else, he just saw her off from afar.
