    I was once the most favored princess in Dayong, but I was banished to the cold palace because of a rumor I heard when I was eight years old. For the next eight years, no one cared about it - but when the cavalry from the Northern Liao Dynasty to the south were about to crush the last line of defense on the border, someone proposed that I go and get married. In order to protect myself, I could only hug the thigh of Li Lu, who was nine thousand years old at that time. "Third Princess, have you made up your mind? Even if you want to be a concubine for a eunuch like this slave?" He picked up my chin, his evil face full of contempt. It's ridiculous, no matter how miserable I am, I am still a princess, how can I be a concubine to his father-in-law! So that night, I climbed into Li Lu's bed and had a good discussion. "You and I are both people with status. It doesn't matter what our status is. You see, we can just be so sneaky, can't we?
