   What would it feel like for a sickly prince, far from the capital, to be suddenly summoned back and ascend the throne? Wei Cheng: I want to die, I desperately want to die. This incredible stroke of luck, while seemingly a blessing in disguise, gave her a sense of resignation, because she was a woman. When her mother, Consort Rong, was pregnant, other concubines were jealous and attacked the Shen family, leading to her imprisonment. For the sake of the Shen family, Consort Rong risked her life, giving birth prematurely and falsely claiming she had given birth to a prince, thus gaining the late emperor's mercy and sparing the lives of the entire Shen family. The premature birth left Consort Rong with health problems, and she died of grief before Wei Cheng was even five years old. Wei Cheng, due to congenital deficiencies and frailty, was once predicted by the imperial physicians to have a short lifespan. Fortunately, she persevered, escaping death countless times and holding on until she was sixteen. When the Shen family was exonerated and the truth was revealed, they petitioned the late emperor when Wei Cheng was eight years old, suggesting that she be taken to Jiangnan to recuperate. Therefore, Wei Cheng was enfeoffed as Prince Cheng at the age of eight and sent to her fiefdom in Jiangnan, far away from the capital. Otherwise, she would not have been able to protect her identity as a woman in that terrifying palace. She originally thought she would live out her days in this way, but unexpectedly, a change occurred at the end of the reign of the late emperor. He listened to the slander of treacherous officials and began to pursue ethereal immortal arts, yearning to unify the world.
