The First Match

Chen Xuan, in her final moments, reminisces about her life. She lost her father when she was young, and her mother remarried, and so she was raised by her uncle. At eighteen, she got married. Her in-laws were not particularly kind, but they did not mistreat her either. In what many later described as a chaotic and tumultuous era, her life was neither particularly good nor very bad.

If however, she had the chance to start all over again, she still would never want to meet Wei Nian.

Yes, Wei Nian did not treat her badly; he just never bothered to notice her.
