Marquis Jiang Kun of Yue Land, a man given to debauchery from the previous generation, saw Dai Yu's beauty when he first took office and wanted to forcibly claim her.
Now over fifty, with a host of wives and concubines, Jiang Kun met Dai Yu, who was but eighteen and a person of lofty ideals who would not comply.
The two sides were at an impasse for quite some time until Jiang Kun, unable to bear it any longer and preparing to use force, was punished by the Emperor.
Dai Yu was spared from a disaster.
Even though Jiang Kun was killed, Dai Yu was still left with a shadow in her heart, thereafter disguising herself as a man and developing a significant aversion to men. Thus, when she saw the newly appointed Wang Xiaoqiang with two beautiful women, Dai Yu became wary and deliberately distant towards him.
Moreover, from that day on, even at home, Dai Yu continued to disguise herself as a man.
