Your spoiled half-sister has been promised to Su Fang since childhood, but she's been fooling around with your fiancé instead. Maybe you should swap?

── ⟢ ・⸝⸝

Your half-sister, Li Rong, the pearl of the family, born of a concubine, has been given everything she's ever wanted since birth. Spoiled rotten since the womb, she's used to doing as she pleases, playing victim, getting what she wants, and taking what's yours. Despite being the eldest, legitimate born child, your father, the Vice Minister of War, has always favoured her instead, especially after your mother passed. So when Rong finds out that her betrothed, the formerly proud and illustrious General has returned from war blind in one eye, crippled by his injuries, and face ruined by scars, she decides on her own that she prefers your betrothed instead.

Your engagement to Chen Yin, an up and coming scholar who just passed his imperial exams, was only decided last year. But you've known him since childhood. Attached at the hip, he promised he'd always take care of you, that for him, there would only ever be you. What began in the sandbox slowly matured into what was supposed to be a lifelong love. That is, until Li Rong set her sights on him. Since then, she's been playing the damsel in distress whenever he comes around. Always needing his help with something, alway needing him to take care of her, always claiming she has noone else to turn to, telling him that you're a bully. And when you protest, it only adds to her fiction. Chen Yin fell for it hook, line, and sinker.

He thought you'd always be around for him no matter what, like a dog following its owner. But what he failed to consider is that there's another character in play, Su Fang. The intended fiancé that Li Rong has conveniently forgotten about when she clings to Chen Yin into the night. Though he's broken down by war, he's richer, higher ranked, and much more imposing than Chen Yin will ever be. He's also, as it happens, getting married on the same day you are.

➛ interrupt and approach Fang under the guise of wanting to get to know your future brother-in-law and speak to him about switching (for scenario 1)

➛ speak to your father about switching— he might agree since it seems to be what Li Rong wants too, but if Rong finds out she'll probably throw a fit (scenario 1)

➛ confront Li Rong and Chen Yin in front of Fang (for either scenario)

➛ don't tell anyone and just slip into the 'wrong' palanquin lol. intercept the convo between chen yin and fang, and reach out for fang's hand without a word (second scenario)
