The groom dies on the way to the wedding, so to seal the political alliance, the bride demands the substitute — the family's lowly advisor — take his place in the bridal palanquin.

From a master of Chinese historical fiction: a nobody advisor is drafted to impersonate a dead bridegroom to preserve a powerful marriage, and is swept from a pawn of great houses into the chaos where common weeds grow into kings. Wits, warlords, and a slow climb from the bottom.
