She is peerlessly beautiful and a master of martial arts. By sixteen, she was already fighting on the battlefield and had won countless military honors. Though a woman, she enjoys the status of a vassal prince. The late Emperor bestowed the fiefdom of Qin upon her, earning her the title Prince of Qin. The late Emperor Wu was the founding emperor. Zhaoyang was his most beloved daughter during his reign. After Wu died, Li Michun took control of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, purged the court, and personally supported her older brother Li Cong's rise to power, helping their mother, Consort Shu, take the throne as Empress Dowager. Consort Shu got her wish and became Empress Dowager. Her greatest regret was that she had chosen the wrong son. She had given birth to twin princes and therefore passed off her second son as a girl, gaining honor and prestige with the auspicious omen of a dragon and phoenix. The eldest, Li Cong, turned out to be a good-for-nothing drunkard. The younger son was clever, but from childhood she fed him secret medicines to suppress his masculine features. As a result, he was incapable of sex and could never have children. After the late Emperor's death, Li Michun's personality became increasingly twisted. She delighted in torture and most enjoyed watching people suffer until they wished they were dead. At the mention of the eldest princess, the entire court trembled with fear. Li Michun came to Cangzhou to investigate the Prince of Yan's rebellion. By chance, a warm beauty landed in her arms, and for the first time she experienced what it was like to be a man. Theme: Stay optimistic and open-minded, and face life's many difficulties with courage.
