"I have never regretted a thing I did, and I won't let others judge me for it." - Si Ji
After the Xia Kingdom fell, Si Ji, the least favored daughter of the Xia king, was captured and taken to the Zhou Kingdom, even though she had spent more than ten years cultivating beyond the mortal world.
Her extraordinarily beautiful face brought her countless troubles. Even when the old king was gravely ill, he still insisted on taking her into his palace. By a twist of fate, Si Ji became Prince Zhou's nameless, titleless attendant, enduring humiliation for years.
Over those years, she watched him change from a bold, spirited general into a king who set his sights on uniting the Nine Provinces. Little by little, her resolve hardened.
After years of careful planning, Si Ji finally restored her homeland and became the first queen regnant in the history of the Xia Kingdom.
In the end, it was not Prince Zhou who united the Nine Provinces, but Si Ji.
