The master of Jiang City has been successful and proud all his life, except for one unresolved matter.

The young girl Jiang Chengbi has an incomplete free mind, at the age of twenty-eight, she still behaves like a child.

Jiang Chengbi appears no different from an ordinary person in front of outsiders, and her skills are profound and unfathomable.

Therefore, very few people in the martial arts world are aware of this matter; I only learned of this secret after infiltrating the Jiang family.

Due to my good looks, I caught the eye of the city master's wife.

After confirming my background, I was informed of the reason for my selection.

"A Bi has a young and ignorant mind. The city master and I just want to find a reliable man to marry into the Jiang family.

"You have a humble background, no attachments in the world, and your appearance is the type A Bi likes. Choosing you is the most suitable option.

"But the city master and I still want to hear your opinion."

The city master's wife spoke earnestly, explaining the reasons for choosing me, not at all like the rumors of her being domineering and aggressive.

They were just like all parents in the world, personally selecting a husband for their daughter, scrutinizing at every step, even taking into account my wishes.

As per the city master's wife's wish, I stayed by Jiang Chengbi's side, becoming a personal bodyguard to cultivate feelings.

However, I had continuous nightmares, always waking up when Jiang Chengbi had her hand around my throat, sadly questioning who I really was.

The sensation in the dream was so real, Jiang Chengbi in red clothes with red eyes and a ferocious face, leaving me sitting in a daze on the doorstep for a long time.

Jiang Chengbi, who was sleeping in the inner room, heard the commotion, disregarded the maidservant's attempts to stop her, and insisted on bringing me in to ask:

"Are you having nightmares? When I used to be haunted by nightmares, Mother would bring a bowl of milk to help me sleep. I'll have Aruo bring you a bowl too."

With a sleepy look on her face, though still young in mind, she was extremely gentle towards me. I, on the other hand, sat there in a daze, unable to speak for a long time.

During the day, the city master's wife would call her to reprimand her, instructing her to respect and care for me.

Although she couldn't understand, she made every effort to follow through with her words and actions.

Others don't understand, thinking Jiang Chengbi is just a child who doesn't understand the ways of the world.

But I feel that this is a kind of genuine affection that ordinary people rarely have.
