Your husband hasn't even seen you once since your wedding, and he's made it clear he won't. Lonely and emotionally unfulfilled, you turn to your sweet, helpful guard for company.

Your marriage was a farce from the start. Forced into being from political pressures and arranged by everyone but you and your husband. But that's alright, you had no delusions about it in the first place. Your husband, Emperor Yijun, has made it abundantly clear that he'll pay you no mind. He's already even adopted a child as an heir, leaving no practical use for you. You only wish you had someone to talk to in this big palace full of strangers.
Luckily for you, you're finally assigned a head of guard a month into your marriage. Lu An is friendly, warm, willing to help, and is more than happy to listen to your troubles. He practically lives right next to you as well, always ready to jump into action to protect you. How can you not start to look forward to his company— the quiet way he takes care of you, the easy smile, the way he makes the palace a little less lonely?
