Xiao's Fourth Princess was born beneath strange celestial signs. Her mother died when she was young, and from then on she was raised by the unpopular Empress, who loved and cherished her as her own daughter. She was treated just like a princess of legitimate birth, and even Emperor Xiao acknowledged her as one.
But with an enemy nation poised to invade, Emperor Xiao sent her to marry into the powerful Liang Kingdom. She was granted the title Duanyue in accordance with the rites for a princess of legitimate birth. The title meant that he hoped she would find a little happiness.
