*The main story is complete. Extras will be updated from time to time.
In the nineteenth year of Yuanshuo, the capital, Tianjing, fell.
The palaces in the north and south burned as one, and the entire Changle court was reduced to scorched earth.
The Qingjun military governor, who had traveled a thousand miles to rescue the emperor, found the last prince of the Great Xia beneath a eunuch's bed. Satisfied, he took the new emperor back to Qingzhou to command the feudal lords.
Looking back on his one-day tour of Tianjing, the Qingjun military governor's only regret was that he hadn't found the Imperial Jade Seal, said to have been carved from the He Shi Bi.
A thousand miles away, at White Deer Monastery.
Ji Ying, staying there to practice cultivation, heard the grim news and vowed to avenge the innocent people who had died.
Happily, she dug the Imperial Jade Seal out from beneath the crooked tree in the back courtyard.
Also known as The Princess Who Deserves an Oscar, The Princess Who Carries the World on Her Shoulders, and The Princess Who Does Things Her Own Way.
Reader's Guide:
1. The story comes first. It focuses on gathering talented people, with little military action and no great campaign for supremacy.
2. The characters aren't perfect cardboard cutouts.
3. People in ancient times do things the way people in ancient times would. The rights of everyone besides the protagonist are not guaranteed.
4. This is a low-martial-arts world, though a handful of characters approach the level of a mid-martial-arts world.
5. Writing advice is welcome, though I may not take it. Please feel free to point out errors. Corrections in VIP chapters may earn a red envelope.
6. Read for fun. If you're not having fun, cut your losses in time.

Please add my new novel, Crossing the Fox, to your reading list.
In the Wei capital, humans and demons live side by side in prosperity. The Spirit Pacification Bureau oversees the nonhuman races, hunts down evil demons, and judges disputes between humans and demons. Though Bureau Chief Wu Xiaohan is human, his methods are more ruthless than those of demons.
On the day an army bringing rare and strange demons to the capital for the Thousand Autumns Banquet arrived, Wu Xiaohan rode alone before tens of thousands of Wei soldiers. Not a soul dared take another step.
Tan Ning, in a cage: ...Isn't that the nine-tailed fox who saved me?
Everyone knows that medicinal beasts can identify every herb, but no one knows that their hearts can dispel illusions.
In other people's eyes, he is a human prodigy with a venomous tongue and a cold, ruthless heart, more like a demon than the demons themselves. In Tan Ning's eyes, his nine tails are wonderfully soft to touch.
After swallowing a medicinal beast's heart, Tan Ning successfully passed the Spirit Pacification Bureau's inspection and stayed on as a demon envoy.
To make sure she didn't mistake her benefactor fox, she decided to test him.
"Bureau Chief Wu, may I ask you a question?"
The fox corrected her coolly. "Call me Master."
"Master, did you go to Snowglaze Valley ten years ago?"
Wu Xiaohan denied it outright, but the nine-tailed fox in Tan Ning's eyes pricked up its ears in alarm.
Tan Ning: My benefactor fox must have a good reason for hiding his identity. I'll quietly help him through his troubles.
Long Zhu had three lifelong regrets.
First, he had been born with nine heads. Second, his fur was scarlet red, a world apart from the pure, snowy-white coat of the Celestial Fox.
He had stared into the water countless times, then shattered the ugly, terrifying reflection of the fox. After becoming Wu Xiaohan, he made sure there wasn't a trace of red on him.
But the new demon envoy wore flamboyant red every day and had such a knack for her work that, in no time, everyone in the Spirit Pacification Bureau was singing her praises.
"Wu Xiaohan, when you blink, it looks like butterflies are flying."
"Wu Xiaohan, the snow in Snowglaze Valley never melts and is free of dust. Just like your skin."
At first, he thought she was just another flatterer.
But later, he saw her pick the first red leaf of autumn for him, rush into a blazing fire without regard for her life, and even expose her identity as a human in the process.
"Wu Xiaohan, you look so handsome when you smile."
He still turned away without expression, pretending not to hear his heart racing out of control.
Until one day, he learned that when the Celestial Fox was ambushed outside Snowglaze Valley ten years ago, it had only nine tails because it had sacrificed a hundred years of its cultivation to save a blind girl.
Only then did he realize that the kindness he had received was stolen.
From that day on, he had a third regret.

Theme: Never yield, never submit, never accept your fate.
I felt that the last battle was a bit rushed, and it didn't have the satisfying feeling of winning the battle. Is it because the author is not good at describing this kind of thing?
Although I have finished buying it, how can I put it this way? To me, this article is relatively fake and empty. The political aspect is very detailed, but all the emotional aspects are floating on the paper. It is as forceful, formatted, rigid and rigid as an aria. The facial makeup of the characters makes people aesthetically tired and makes them unable to appreciate the charm of the characters.
I really want to know if Yue Ya and Xu Jiaojiao are together in the end.
Xiao Jiyi doesn't have a good relationship with Uncle You. He doesn't like businessmen so much.
The Queen is about to give birth to a daughter!
I still can't let go of Jiang Wuyuan. It's more true to have regrets.
Every character is well written and fleshed out. I hope every character can have a spin-off🥹
Why only have one child? If there is an accident, Daxia will lose even an heir.
As mentioned in the introduction, there is too little content about the struggle for hegemony and no plot. It feels like only the villains are serious about conquering the world. The heroine's character is Xiang Yu Nagua. If she doesn't have the aura of the protagonist, she will probably die sooner or later.
It brings me back to when I was reading novels on the computer, with a complete plot and a slightly regretful but satisfying ending. Thank you to the author for writing such a heart-wrenching story. [Lop-eared rabbit head]
