In the Kingdom of Yunxiang, women and men are equal.
The imperial heir need not be male or female, nor a direct descendant. Anyone surnamed Yue with the necessary talent can become the heir apparent, known as a “Princess.” The emperor’s children are called “Imperial Daughters” and “Imperial Sons.”
The children of princesses and princes are called “Royal Daughters” and “Royal Sons.”
Women and men alike may take the imperial examinations.
Yunxiang has stood for over six hundred years. Male emperors and officials have always been few, and over time, a discreet trend of “valuing women over men” has taken root.
