Wu Cheng, the former Commander of the Military who led the rebel forces, has ascended to the throne as the new King with the overwhelming support of the citizens and vassals. And so, he has united with the former Queen Guest, who worked tirelessly alongside him for the sake of the country, to build a new nation together. Today is the wedding ceremony.
