Adopted Husband.

Summary

As A Gu Da gained military accolades, he was posthumously titled Duke. Wan Yan Wen Qin's family, though declining, was better off than peers, enjoying royal access and annual rewards. Amidst the Jin Dynasty's turmoil, Wan Yan felt frustrated by his family's decline and his inability to pursue martial arts, focusing instead on literature. Despite his hot temper, he loved listening to stories, especially from Dai Mo, an old scholar from the Wu Dynasty, who inspired him with tales and knowledge.

As their bond deepened, Wan Yan recognized the need for personal ambition beyond his grandfather's title.

Tragically, Dai Mo passed away before witnessing Wan Yan's rise, leaving him with the wisdom of Gu Shen. In a parallel narrative, Tang Min Jie helped a woman, connected to Dai Mo, escape the city, urging her to seek safety and promising to avenge her father's suffering.
