When I was eight years old, as a princess of the Zhou Dynasty, I was sent to the Xia Dynasty and became an attendant of the princess.
I thought my life would go on like this - secretly eating water chestnut cakes with my good friend Ciyuan, and staring blankly at the handkerchief embroidered with half a honeysuckle flower. Until the day of the princess's birthday, a young Taoist priest made a face at me, and then I heard something I shouldn't have heard: Ciyuan was selected to marry in the Wei Dynasty.
After Ciyuan left, the Taoist master took me to Penglai to obtain a magic weapon for the princess. After I came back, I became a "saint", but I was named by the imperial concubine to be buried with the late empress. In order to save my life, Master asked me to marry the princess to the Wei Dynasty as a "saint".
I met a bandit on the road and was rescued by a general. He fell in love with me at first sight - but I later found out that he was the one who destroyed my homeland. In the Wei Dynasty, I became Prince Xuan's concubine and gave birth to a son for him. Many years later, the envoy returned to the Xia Dynasty and met the regent Xu Chong'an again, and he couldn't help himself. After returning to China, she found out that she was pregnant with his daughter. Afraid of causing trouble, she sent her away in the name of "Tiansha Lone Star" and never saw her again.
Prince Xuan rebelled and ascended the throne. In order to appease the Shangdu royal family, he married Ciyuan as his queen. At that time I felt that I fell in love with Prince Xuan. Ci Yuan, who once held my hand and scolded me, became my rival. I designed her to be killed and took the back seat. When he was twenty-eight years old, the Wei Dynasty destroyed the Xia Dynasty. I sent the princess to a bitter cold land and personally ended my old lover Xu Chong'an.
After my husband passed away, I assisted my son in governing the country and became the Queen Mother.
Others say I am cruel and ruthless. But I still remember when we first met when I was eight years old, the lively and silly Ci Yuan, and the graceful princess.
