Yuehuang Mountain, located deep in the southwest mountains of China, is majestic and steep. Even at night, clouds and mist swirl around it.

In a mountain valley, beside the Black Dragon Pond, stood a shirtless man of prime age in the pond water.

The bright moon hung high, bathed in its ethereal glow, revealing the contours of the year. Five features were striking: fair and delicate, with sword-like brows and eyes like stars.

"Whoosh! Zoom!"

Suddenly, Nian leaped out of the pond, shivering uncontrollably. It was late autumn, and after an hour submerged in the icy water, Nian surviving was nothing short of a medical miracle.

"Hmph~ Master, your punishments are getting more and more excessive. It's almost like sending me to the depths of hell... But judging from Mrs. Wang's pulse, she's pregnant! How can telling the truth be wrong?"

Qin Huai, whose surname is Qin, hails from the renowned Qin family of medical practitioners residing in Taohua Wu of Yuehuang Mountain. At nineteen years old, he has rarely ventured down the mountain to the city throughout his life.

In a long shirt with a hint of antique style, Qin Huai dragged his weary steps towards Taohua Grove behind the mountain.

Peach Blossom Grove is located at the back of Yuehuang Mountain. It enjoys a spring-like climate year round and boasts beautiful scenery, but it is rarely visited by people. There is only one village with signs of civilization in this place.

"Grandpa, I'm back! Grandpa!"

Qin Huai returned to the Qin family's home in Taohuacun. As soon as he entered the main courtyard, he began to shout loudly.

"Second brother, please stop calling out. Grandfather is discussing matters with Father." A beautiful young woman in a dark green Hanfu appeared behind the Qinhuai River.

"Big sister? It's so late. I've told you many times, staying up late is bad for your skin. If you still want to get married, go to sleep!" Qin Huai laughed loudly.

"Only you..."

Before the siblings could even exchange a few words, Li Fu, the steward, rushed over in a panic. "Second Master, Second Master... Miss is here too!"

"Li Fu, what's wrong?" Seeing Li Fu's strange expression, Qin Xiangsi asked.

Li Fudao: "The master said there is something important to discuss with the second master. Miss, you should go too... By the way, I'm going to see the third miss now. I'll be off!"

Saying that, Li Fu took three steps forward and two steps backward as he ran towards the back garden.

"Hey~ Grandpa, what mischief are you up to again?"

"I don't know, let's go!"

Qin Xiangsi pulled Qin Huai towards the hall.

Upon entering the hall, Qin Huai was taken aback to find it filled with aunts and relatives from all branches of the family. On the main platform, two elders sat on either side of the dais, looking solemn and dignified.

The elderly man on the left has white hair, wears a black Tang suit, and appears to be serious.

This man is the grandfather of Qin Huai, the head of the Qin family.

And on the right, with an air of ethereal refinement, though his temples were streaked with white and yet his complexion was rosy, stood Qin Huai's master, Ling Yi.

"Grandpa~Master? How come the two of you are together?" Qin Huai scratched his head, puzzled.

Qin Ji and Ling Yi looked at each other and smiled. Then Qin Ji said, "Xiangsi, Huai'er, please sit down first."

"Oh~"

Two people sat down. Qin Huai looked around, bewildered, "Sister~ Everyone's looking at me strangely~ Especially my aunt and uncle~ What's going on?"

Qin Xiangsi also found it strange, but helplessly said, “Let’s wait for grandpa to reveal it.”

Soon, Li Fu brought a child to the hall.

"Grandpa~ It's the dead of night, you woke me up. Don't tell me you want my skin to be as bad as Big Sister's?!"

"Hey~ I'm so mad!!!"

Qian Xiangsi stood up, and Qin Huai was quick to grab her, "Big sister, you can't mess with this little one!"

Standing in the center of the hall, wearing a thin sleepwear, is Lolita, Qin Huai's third sister, Qin XiaoXiao.

Within the entire Qin family, in this generation of the Qin family, Qin Xiao's status is considered supreme. Because at a young age, he was good at flattering and praising others, so Grandfather Qin doted on him very much!

Qin Ji gave a kind smile, "Haha~ Alright alright, XiaoXiao, sit next to your big sister. I have something important to announce."

"Hmm... get started, this lady can't sit still any longer!" Qin Xiaoxiao deliberately provoked Qin Xiangsi.

"You!"

"Big sister, endure for a moment and all will be calm." Qin Huai said in a low voice.

Qin Ji took a sip of tea, then opened his mouth and said: “Since everyone is here, I have to announce something very important to our Qin family… Huai'er, come out.”

"Huh?"

With suspicion, Qin Huai stepped out, standing in the center of the hall, thus meeting the strange gazes of all his relatives.

Qin Ji gave a cryptic smile. "Huai'er, you're not young anymore. You'll be twenty next year."

"What's wrong with twenty?"

"Ahem~ Before, I didn't come to see you because I wanted you to focus on your studies. When you were born, I arranged a marriage between you and Shangqingqiu from the previous household. Now that you are about to reach adulthood, and the young lady from the previous household is also 23 years old, it's time for you two to meet."

"Yeah, yeah, a gold bar in junior year. Huai'er, your grandpa loves you so much, huh?"

"That's right, when my aunt went to Jiangnan on business, she met that girl. She was so beautiful and charming…"

"Pffft~"

Faced with the enthusiasm of her relatives, Qin Huai almost spat out a mouthful of old blood onto the floor. "Grandpa, are you teasing me? What era is this? Arranged marriages? Child betrothal..."

Qin Huai babbled on and on, but Qin Ji ignored him. When Qin Huai was tired of talking, Qin Ji said, "How about the fiancée I chose for you? You should know that the conglomerate under Shang's family is the best in Jiangnan. If you go there, they won't mistreat you. Besides, Shang Qingqiu is a lively and beautiful woman. Didn't you used to insist on marrying a beautiful wife when you were little?!"

Saying that, Qin Ji took out a photo from his bosom and handed it to Li Fu, who then passed it to Qin Huai. "Take a look," he said, "With such a fiancée, do you want to refuse her?"

Qin Huai took the photo and her eyes lit up immediately.

The child in the photo is sitting in a luxurious office, wearing a well-tailored business suit. Her long hair is pulled up high, symbolizing her noble swan neck and the air around her.

Her features were exquisite, with graceful brows like distant ink paintings, a straight nose, perfectly deserving of flattering epithets like "Heavenly Fragrance."

But if we must nitpick, then Qin Huai's only flaw is her aloofness. Her cold demeanor, as if keeping people at arm's length, makes Qin Huai feel icy even through a static photograph!

"How do you like it, beautiful?" Qin Ji asked with a smile, his eyes filled with a hint of lechery.

Qin Huai regained her composure and said, "Hah hah~ We all have the same nose and two eyes. What's so special about that?"

"But she's way prettier than Big Sister..." Qin Xiaoxiao took the photo and looked at it, "Second Brother, you're so lucky!"

Qin Xiangsi no longer wanted to pay attention to this rebellious sister. She stared at the photo, and couldn't help but admit, Shang Qingqiu was indeed prettier.

"Apprentice, if you don't find her suitable, just say so." At that moment, Master Ling Yi, who was sitting beside Qin Ji, broke the awkward silence.

"Master~~~ I'm not good enough yet, I'm still young, I need to focus on learning medicine from you. I can't be bothered by these things right now, Master!"

Qin Huai suddenly, his eyes were red and swollen. He didn't expect that at this crucial moment, the master who took pleasure in punishing himself every day would speak up for him.

"Good disciple, you speak well. But what about the matter of your son? A man should have a virtuous and capable wife in the end…"

"Master, what do you mean? ?" Qin Huai suddenly had a bad premonition.

Ling Yi smiled, stroking his beard. "Actually, your master arranged a betrothal for you soon after you were born."

"What?!" Qin Huai jumped back in fright.

However, the marriage I have arranged for you is with the Bai family of the capital city.

"The Bai family? One of the four ancient martial arts families?"

LING Yi nodded. "That's right, behind every successful man there must be a virtuous woman. Bai Huafan from the Bai family is around your age and also a cultivator. In the future, she will be able to protect your safety, wouldn't that be great!"

"Cough cough~ Dutiful and virtuous? Ancient martial arts family... Aren't you afraid that your apprentice will suffer domestic violence in the future?!"

Qin Ji shook his head. "Alright, Huai'er~ Back then, fate played tricks on us. Your master and I didn't communicate in time, which led to your current predicament of having two marriage contracts. So, to make amends for this, we're giving you space. Choose one."

"Yes, no matter who you choose, the other marriage certificate, your grandfather and I will help you get it annulled." Ling Yi nodded in agreement.

"This..."

Qin Huai was dumbfounded. He had lived for nineteen years and only today did he learn that he actually had two heavenly wives!

After the "Family Meeting" ended, Qin Huai walked dejectedly towards her own little house. Qin Xiangsi and Qin Xiaoxiao immediately followed behind her.

"Second brother, who did you choose? ~ Come on and tell me quickly, I'm curious yo~~~"

"Little sister, just leave him alone."

"Older sister, don't say that. Second brother is neglecting his meals and thoughts because of tea. He has to make a decision sooner or later. Otherwise, how can he represent Grandfather and Old Master Ling?"

Qin Xiangsi still wanted to retort, but Qin Xiaoxiao's words were reasonable.

Qinhuai suddenly turned back, "I've decided!"

"You scared me! Second brother, you're bad!!" Qin Xiaoxiao stared at Qin Huai with a resentful look while punching him lightly with her little fists.

Qin Huai said, "I've chosen my family!"
