Features: She drew the fate sign that should have been for the imperial family—"Emperor Swallow," yet a few days later, she married the prime minister's wife; she possessed a beauty that could rival the gods and a gentle, virtuous temperament, but her husband only deeply loved the emperor's favored concubine. On their wedding night, he confessed to her, full of remorse: "Except for love, I can give you anything." She remained calm and composed, merely smiling faintly before resuming her leisurely life. Though the court was deep and secluded, her life was far from monotonous—she recognized the future top scholar in the palace, rescued the prince of the Nu tribe from the back alleys, tumbled down a mountain cliff with the current general, and outwitted the emperor in the inner chambers. Every man she encountered was conquered by her beauty and wisdom; they believed in her, died for her, and even abandoned the world for her, naturally, they also fought for the world for her. Countless clashes and bloody battles were all just to get closer to her, to witness her radiant smile. The world was thrown into chaos because of this beauty; but who would make her smile enchantingly next?
