I’ve been seeing some readers bewildered by some aspects of my books,so I will be clarifying some things.
The mc’s young age-As you could tell,I am trying to make my world building as accurately as possible to the specific era.
Why the mc didn’t marry a woman-The answer is simple:An engagement in old times was something that took time and he didn’t have it;with the Empress Dowager wanting him to participate in the selection.(also,Lord Zhuang couldn’t have refused the wishes of the emperor’s mother)
I hope this explanation answered your questions.
Love,your writer
