“Ministers, what do you think I, the Princess of Changping, fought for with my three-foot sword? To defeat the great Buryat armies in the north, quell the rebellions of the Jiangnan clans in the south, and put an end to epidemics, famines, earthquakes, locust plagues, and hailstorms throughout the Nine Provinces... not to mention all you treacherous ministers. After years of hardship, I've finally brought peace and prosperity. What was it all for?” the Princess of Changping asked.
Li Zicheng, who had long since accepted that the Princess of Changping would ascend the throne, replied calmly, “Your Highness naturally did it to become emperor.”
“No! I did it to become a god,” said the Princess of Changping.
Li Zicheng: “???”
“...Your Highness, do you mean the Jade Emperor? Do you wish to cultivate the Dao and seek immortality?” Wu Sangui asked tentatively from the side.
“More or less. Anyway, what I mean is that from today onward, I alone shall reign supreme in the Ming dynasty! You must worship me like a god!” said the Princess of Changping.

The emperors of the Zhu clan were appointed by Heaven, but they were still only mortal. They grew old, died, fell ill, and dissolved in water. Everyone knew this.
But the Princess of Changping was different.
Fire couldn't kill her, floods couldn't drown her, the plague couldn't claim her, and poison couldn't kill her. Even when Nurhaci led an army to besiege her, trapping her in a lonely city with no way out, just when he thought victory was assured... he could only watch helplessly as the princess flew out of the city alone. Then the sky suddenly darkened. Daylight turned black as ink, and four enormous shooting stars fell from the heavens, routing his army!
She flew out of the city!
Stars descended from the heavens!
...Does this make any sense?
Vast heavens above, why are you so cruel to me... Those were Nurhaci's final thoughts before he died.
