The Phoenix Seeks Its Mate

I opened an old book and became its protagonist. Half a lifetime passed: a dynasty fell, and a family sang its elegy. She was the Eldest Princess. To preserve the empire of her ancestors, she could kill the one she loved most, even her own flesh and blood. She told me, "Qing'er, never mind three peerless men. Just say the word, and I will grant you anything in this world." She imprisoned Wei Zhuang, ordered Xu You to die, plotted against Zhang Yizhi, had Rong'er strangled, and sent men after Chuan'er. I watched the downfall of the legacy she had spent her whole life protecting. Did she see it from beyond the grave?
