Princess Ran Qingshuang was born to Ruan, a maid who washed feet.
When Ruan became pregnant with a second royal child, Empress Mi seized on an excuse, claiming that the foot-washing water Ruan had brought her was too hot. Empress Mi then poisoned Ruan and her unborn son.
Empress Mi falsely accused Ran Qingshuang of killing the child in her womb and exiled Qingshuang to the desolate lands of Shu as a hostage.
Years later, Ran Qingshuang returned.
She overturned the entire court, and the Regent who had once schemed against her fell to his knees and begged for mercy.
The top scholar rode through the streets on horseback and became a favored companion in the princess’s private chambers.
The young marquis slaughtered Empress Mi’s entire clan for the princess.
The heir swore he would never marry anyone but the princess.
The Regent’s eyes were red from crying as he begged Ran Qingshuang for
an eternity together.
The beginning is a bit messy
