For the Emperor

Until she was twelve, Gu Jianyu was simply Gu Jianyu. Her birth mother was the current empress, while her birth father was unknown.

At the palace banquet when she was twelve, one casual remark completely changed her fate: "I wonder which of His Majesty's princesses she is. She looks so much like His Majesty, with at least seven parts resemblance."

After the age of twelve, she had a second name: Zongzheng Yue, the legitimate princess of the realm.

In an instant, the world turned upside down. For the first time, Zongzheng Yue felt how intoxicating power could be. At twelve years old, she looked seriously at the dragon throne for the first time.

She wanted to sit upon it.

After all, she was a Zongzheng now, wasn't she?
