The eldest legitimate daughter of the century-old Shen clan. She is stunningly beautiful and exceptionally gifted, having received a strict aristocratic education from childhood. She excels at literature, etiquette, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and has even studied medicine and political strategy. At first, she seems dignified, gentle, patient, and restrained, but beneath the surface she is strong-willed, intelligent, and resourceful. Her family has high hopes for her: she is meant to become empress and carry on the clan’s glory.
