She could have been a proper legitimate daughter of a noble house, but instead insisted on going to the capital to become an official. So be it, but she should at least have been a good official! Instead, she's a champion at eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling. She gets into a huge brawl over a courtesan, kicks someone down the stairs over a seat, and throws someone out a window over a piece of jade. She's a downright menace! And yet the emperor dotes on her, the crown prince protects her, and she even drags an upright, incorruptible great general off to eat meat, drink wine, fight, and visit brothels, becoming sworn brothers with him. In the end, they even become spouses!
