When thinking becomes rigid, it's easy to get stuck, and Xiao Bai's reminder shattered such a mental mold.
Originally, the matter of being rejected for marriage, due to the inertia brought by memories of his past life, Xu Yuan subconsciously felt that rejecting a marriage proposal was a normal affair.
Because of his disdain for the prodigal sons, he would rather die than marry out, isn't that normal?
From the perspective of a modern person, it's of course normal, not to mention that he nearly violated someone before.
But the question is, is it normal to threaten death to cancel a marriage engagement in Dayan?
It's not normal, very abnormal.
The freedom to choose one's marriage partner in the Prime Minister's Mansion was actually an exception; arranged marriages among the noble clans were the norm.
Even someone with a character like Li Qingyan saw this as a matter of course, let alone the fragile and timid Mu Zhiyun.
