The Eighth Year of Mingjing in the Daqian Empire. The fifteenth day of the tenth month—a day auspicious for marriage.
This was the auspicious day the Nie Family had chosen for the marriage alliance.
Although they had agreed to keep this engagement ceremony low-key and not invite a wide array of guests, a thousand-year-old Noble Family had its own standards and dignity. Every rite and procedure was still rigorous and thorough, with not a single detail overlooked.
Reporting to Heaven and Earth, honoring the Nie Family's ancestors, paying respects to the Chen Family from afar... The numerous steps were all interlinked, solemn and complex.
Fortunately, with a Nie Family ceremonial master guiding him, Chen Sheng followed the rites to the letter. Though the entire process was time-consuming and exhausting, it proceeded quite smoothly.
In the Nie Family's main hall, tall red candles burned brightly, filling the room with a joyous atmosphere.
