Biodata

Background / History

Ai Tutu was cherished from childhood because she was one of the few girls in her generation of the family. Despite this treatment, her relatives began pressuring her to marry when she was eighteen and had only recently started college 55.

When Tutu protested that her older brother was unmarried, the family argued that Ai Jiangtu's military service and rising career justified postponing his marriage. Jiangtu initially defended their father's intentions, angering Tutu further. Nevertheless, his support meant the family would not truly force her into a marriage alliance 55.
