And so, He Ying issued a secret decree to Xuanrao—Jiang Duan must rewrite the content of that book.
As for how to rewrite it, it would depend on his enlightenment.
Xuanrao was indeed enlightened and immediately went to find Jiang Duan, saying, "If you still want to live to marry me, then write as I tell you."
Jiang Duan was troubled, "As a literary man, I must write something meaningful."
Xuanrao nodded, "Don't worry. Their story is very exciting and full of twists and turns; you won't lack material to write about."
Jiang Duan: "..."
That wasn't what he meant!
Xuanrao was very efficient.
That very day, she prepared paper, ink, brush, and inkstone, and confined the man to the study to write the book.
She dictated, "The story should begin with Tang Yan entering the palace..."
Tang Yan was the heroine in the story.
She was also a metaphor for Sang Yan.
Sang Yan saw the "Dahe Record of Splendor" four days later.
