[Love Rivals and a Jealousy-Fueled Showdown, Featuring Forced Seduction and Other Over-the-Top Drama. Multiple Male Characters Fall for the Heroine. The Heroine Is Flawed, So Those Who Demand Chastity in Their Female Leads Should Stay Away]

Princess Ji Lanyu is breathtakingly beautiful, the undisputed greatest beauty in the Great Wei.

Countless men dream of bringing this delicate flower into their homes. Unfortunately, the princess was promised in marriage at a young age, and after her divorce, she kept three thousand handsome young men in her residence.

.

But no one knows that there are not three thousand handsome young men in the princess's residence. There is only one, a young man named Sanqian.

Even fewer know that the princess keeps Sanqian not because he is handsome, but because she loves watching his graceful sword dances.

.

The powerful regent falls in love with the princess at first sight. He ruins several of her marriage prospects, then schemes to make her divorce the consort she had already married.

.

The General Dingyuan, who commands hundreds of thousands of troops, also covets the princess in secret. He spends years plotting to possess her, then launches a rebellion so he can imprison her in his inner quarters and keep her all to himself.

.

Even her former consort, now divorced, cannot forget her. Every time he drinks, he goes to the princess's residence and begs her in tears to take him back...

.

Unwilling to be at anyone's mercy, the princess publicly claims to have three thousand lovers and puts on an air of abandon.

But the general with his mighty army and the regent with his overwhelming power both harbor treasonous ambitions. One day, their troops will inevitably reach the capital.

.

The Great Wei teeters on the brink of collapse. The General Dingyuan and the regent hold the reins of power, and the court has no reliable generals left to call upon.

Sanqian volunteers to put down the rebellion.

The princess trusts his abilities, but...

.

"If one day you hold great power, will you also harbor rebellious ambitions like the General Dingyuan and make yourself king?"

.

Sanqian kneels at her feet, his gaze loyal and unwavering.

"No. Sanqian will always serve the princess. If I ever betray you, may lightning strike me dead."

.

I would don armor and take the field for you, becoming your sharpest sword. I would also forever prostrate myself at your feet, your devoted servant.
