Chu Yuezhao, a powerful cultivator, was struck by lightning while overcoming her tribulation. When she opened her eyes, she had become the Blessed Princess of Great Chu, a tiny cannon-fodder character doomed to die within three episodes of a story about a kingdom destined to fall!
Even more absurdly, everyone in her family could hear her babyish inner thoughts:
“Grandfather, if you keep eating those poisoned pills, the grass on your grave will be three feet tall by next year~”
“Father, stock up on food! Jiangnan will be flooded next year!”
“Mother, your brother’s about to be beheaded! Hurry up and lead the troops to storm that treacherous minister’s hideout!”
At first, the brilliant and formidable King of Chu said, “This little monster must be a bringer of bad luck!”
Later, he cuddled his granddaughter and kissed her until his face was covered in drool. “My precious lucky star! Tell me, do you want dragon liver or phoenix marrow for dinner?”
At first, her refined Crown Prince father said, “A young lady should be quiet and well-behaved.”
Later, he charged at the front with a machine gun his daughter had invented slung over his shoulder. “Anyone who wants to hurt my daughter will have to get past me first!”
At first, her dashing general mother said, “A mother must be firm. You can’t spoil her.”
Later, she shielded her daughter and tore an assassin apart with her bare hands. “My daughter is always right. If anyone can’t beat her, I’ll do it for her!”
The Second Prince used her “endless chatter” to build railways and electric lights. The Third Prince followed her ideas and became a merchant wealthy enough to rival a nation. The Fourth Prince followed her advice and grew crops that yielded a thousand catties per mu…
And Li Si, who cried, “Are kings, nobles, generals, and ministers born to their stations?” was squatting in the kitchen of the King of Chu’s estate, gnawing on a pork knuckle and smacking his lips as he thought, “Why be emperor when you can eat your fill and do nothing?”
The whole world: Wasn’t this supposed to be a story about a kingdom falling? Why is Great Chu building spaceships now?!
