Shen Xinglan, the eldest daughter of the general. My father had 300,000 troops, and my aunt was the emperor's favorite concubine. She was born to stand out of reach of others. Therefore, she took it for granted that it would be a matter of course for her to return to Beijing this time and rely on her appearance, talent, and skills to fight for the highest position in that treacherous power field.
The prince is gentle and dignified and is interested in her; the emperor relies heavily on the Shen family and is happy to see her succeed. Everything was within her plan, and it went so smoothly that she felt that the capital city was nothing more than that.
